A bug I found -- I battled the gambler east of Celadon city before I had visited a Pokemon Center and blacked out, and the player was warped to and stuck in Blaine's gym! Also, the pokemon on that route between Saffron and Celadon were level 19ish, so they thwomped me then, though I don't know if thats intentional.
So much props! Awesome game, I really want to play the rest. Good luck man!
