At the awards ceremony, right before Professer Oak, Elm, Birch and The Elite Four presented the medallions to the two heroes, A wave of pokemon stormed into the area, along with the leaders of team Magma and Aqua, along with others.

Summary:
As this is very early and short demo, I cannot review much of the game.
The premise of the game has potential, though there were a few bugs that prevented me from finishing the game, these bugs had to do with the CBS, apparently the Blastoise that you receive early in the game was not added to my party and instead I had a lvl1 Ratata which couldn't attack.
There were also some tileset errors, passibility wise making me able to walk on certain tiles, such as trees and houses.

You are now 13 years old, your mother asks professor oak if you can have a pokemon, he says yes!
After getting 3 badges you stumble upon the Team Rocket Base!
Gary tells you that Team Rocket are trying to make Pure Illusionie out of Raw Illusionite
Illusionite is a extremly rare rock. Legend says when you Purify Illusionite

Summary:
This game still has some flaws and grammar errors that needs to be corrected.
This game uses the RPG Maker 2003 DBS (Default Battle System) and DMS (Default Menu System) You fight by summoning Pokemon (which uses MP), and by equiping weapons and doing regular attacks. There are no longer any random battles, every Pokemon walks around on the map, and if you approach one you will engage in battle. As Pokemon have elemental types, so do you, this makes for more variety in combat. There are various items throughout the game, that if equipped alter the appearence of your character and allow you to go to places you couldn't before, one being the Hiker missions.
The custom graphics were ok, though nothing breathtaking. The area transition pictures looked rather stretched and there were several charsets that needed to be refurbished.
Mostly Pokemon and Final Fantasy music, not much to note here.
Despite the many flaws and grammar errors, this is an interesting game with potential.
