Released Pokémon HGSS: Sevii Islands (Beta 2.3 now out!)

Man, I don't know what's going on, but your game was very slow. I couldn't even go farther than the initial cutscene. Anyway, your game looks gourgeous, the Pokémon you give the player are diverse and give us the feeling of post-game game you're intending.

Good luck with the development.

The game's current release is a bit laggy, I know, due to various things, but I've been working on reducing the lag for the next version.
I'm sorry, and thank you for your feedback!

Beta 2.0 is here, and it fixes the horrendous lag!

NOTE: If you are updating from Beta 1.0 / Beta 1.1 / Beta 1.2, please save your game inside a building / cave (such as the Pokémon Center) before updating to Beta 2.0! Else, there is a chance you may get stuck due to me having to move the outside maps around a bit.

Beta 2.0 has the first 3 islands fully complete, and the beta ends right at the begining of Chapter #4.

Some added features and corrected bugs:
- Lots of Following Pokémon improvements to make it resemble HGSS even more (no longer trainers will walk over your Pokémon; your Pokémon doesn't automatically turn when you do; etc.);
- The first 3 islands (One Island, Two Island and Three Island) are fully explorable;
- The lag is 90% fixed. If you're still experiencing lag, it shouldn't be anything significant.
- Mega Evolution is now accessible;
- Press "Shift" to speed up your game! Also, your controls are customizable now, just go to "Options";
- Etc.

Here are some screenshots:

Update:
Beta 2.1 fixes some bugs:
- Fainted Pokémon not coming back after healing;
- When getting out of the water with a fainted Pokémon in front, the player no longer takes 2 steps forward, which previously possibly allowed the player to get stuck;
- A small graphical error in all Pokémon Centers.

Update:
Beta 2.2 fixes some bugs:

- Some Following Pokémon glitches during surfing;
- Some graphical bugs concerning the female player overworld sprite.

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm not dead, and give you some screenshots regarding the next update. I hope you like it, Beta 3.0 shouldn't take too long to release! :)

Loving the game so far~
Just something minor though. The Low HP theme still kept playing after my Pokémon had fainted and I sent out another Pokémon

Very glad to know you're liking it!
Thank you for reporting that bug, I noticed that too and in the next version it will be fixed :)

Hi! I'm currently playing this and I'm enjoying it so far. I decided to backtrack a bit to find the megastones I can before heading off to Three Island and I encountered this glitch.

I can't move the Strength rock towards the top and I can't reach that megastone. Anyway, would you be able to fix this in an update? Thank you and I'll continue playing the game!

Hello, I'm very glad to hear you're enjoying it so far!
While I was playtesting for the next version I encountered this glitch too and I already fixed it, so it will definitely be fixed in the next update.
Thank you very much, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

The next update is taking a bit longer to release since I'm choosing to release less updates but with more content, rather than many short updates. I hope you understand! :)

We're now in the final phase of beta testing Version 3.0!
This next beta should come out in no more than 2 weeks, and will have 6 available chapters, out of 8 total, with ~6h of content!
Here are some screenshots to get you excited for the next release:
