So, a great many things has happened since Feb of last year. Hopefully there is a user or two that still cares about this project here.
To just highlight some things Pokemon Purple now does:
-Completely all BASIC scrolling walking engine with moving NPCs
-NPC interaction
-Events system has been started
-Pokedex is fully implemented
-Pokemon Party system is mostly working, use of moves outside of battle not working
-Battle system has been started! Switching of pokemon is fully functioning, along with the RUN option. Item usage is still very much in progress
-Fight option displays Pokemon's current moves and how many PP each move has, nothing more yet.
I'll try to do more updates to here as I have them to post.
