Hey Soupercell, first of all: Radical Red is absolutely awesome!! I'm currently doing a Professor Oak challenge (v 2.3a). If you skip Lt. Surge and go right to Erika you will run into a problem later on: Once Erika is beaten you run into a little problem (it's possible despite the lvl cap of Surge which is 34 and Erikas ace is lvl 47. I did it with unburden electric seed hawlucha and electric surge dedenne). With Lt. Surge skipped and after beating Erika your levelcap is raised to 47. However, Pokemon will only obey you up to level 46! This is insanely annoying as I have to train new Pokemon every few battles since the EXP they get is so high due to the level differences and thus all my Mons quickly reach level 47 (currently sitting on a box with 20 Mons that are EV maxed but don't obey).
Despite this annoyance I made it to Sabrina (still not beaten Lt. Surge) but with the risk of Pokemon leveling up in the battle and stopping to obey me, I'm not sure, if it is possible to do this (Her Mons are lvl 57+ while I am stuck at lvl 46 at best).
It would be absolutely awesome if you could adress this issue in some later version ;) Anyway: definetly and by far the best Pokemon Game I every played, keep up the good work.
Best Regards, Blînd
