Glad you got it fixed ^^ (now I hope your parents won't make you have to fix it again, though x.x)

So some small updates, I think I have switching pokemon in battle implemented, and in a bit will probably have it through the main menu too. I'm also about to start work on the items system and pokedex implementation. I'll upload a new build in a little bit.

One thing that I need help with is compression. Not sure exactly what the best route to go here is, I tried a couple different methods and so far pucrunch has been the best compression (for graphics). The front sprites I am getting about 8-10% compression for 3 sprites which isn't really all that great. I was wondering if anyone has an awesome compression routine for rather small data (768 bytes per group).

For sprites and graphics, have you tried Run Length Encoding?  Depending on the way you draw your graphics, it may or may not work well.

pucrunch combines rle and LZ78 into one compression algorithm, so yeah i've been using that in part

Did you say you finished the battle engine already?

If so, i'd like to point out that gust is a normal type move, not flying (pidgey managed to hit haunter with it)

I'm pretty sure gust is a flying move and flying moves can hit ghosts.

EDIT:Nevermind, see my other post.

Oh hold on a sec. I think squidgetx is right. I guess they changed it for the later ones. I didn't realize this before.

Odd. smogon has never been wrong before   :o oh well. i'd personally change it to flying, if possible. might confuse any hardcore pokemon fans.

Most pokemon fans(or at least the ones I know) know that gust was a first-gen normal move.

It might be nice to leave it as is since this is supposed to be a direct port.

@nemo
No, it is flying now. It's just that in Red it was normal. I think it was changed in G/S/C which is why it shows up as flying in the old attackdex
