Story

You are a new trainer who sets out on a journey to help Professor Oak with researching Pokemon, very much like the very first games. This story is built on the foundation that was pulled from the demo itself and has you traverse Nihon, based on the entirety of Japan, while you collect badges and catch Pokemon. You'll also have to face off against Team Rocket, who are building a machine that would give them incredible power over Pokemon! Silver is portrayed in the manner that he was in the demo - not as an antagonist, but as an energetic rival, kind of similar to gen 4's Barry. The story is admittedly kind of simple, but intentionally so. It was written to feel like the story that might have been in the demo had it been completed.

List of Features

Graphics fully pulled from the Spaceworld demo, complete with Pokemon sprites, overworld tilesets, trainer sprites, etc, along with a handful of sprites I had to redesign myself to better match the art style of the demo.
Redesigned Pokedex as of 3.00!
New GBC colour palette mode as of version 5.00!
Pikachu minigame! (press Left +B on the title screen and wait for music to end)
251 Pokemon, the complete Pokedex as it appeared in the demo. The main way that this differs from what would have been in an "official" game is that all 251 Pokemon are obtainable in one save the file.
New key items that match the story presented in the game
Evolutionary stones that match the Demo (Heart Stone, Poison Stone) as well as an additional Covenant Orb that allows for the evolution of Pokemon that would normally require trading.
8 badges, Pokemon League, like you would expect.
A new postgame map not present in the Spaceworld demo
Type chart that matches the beta
Full support for the original Game Boy
Full support for the Super Game Boy
Full support for the Game Boy Color (with limited palettes similar to Yellow Version)
Improved level curve compared to final Gold and levels are generally higher, leading to a slightly tougher game but still not overly difficult
Additional postgame islands and objectives
Additional rematches for Gym Leaders and Pokemon League
Additional items based on scrapped items from the demo (including skateboard!)
Additional moves based on scrapped moves from the demo
Several Beta music tracks
Expanded bedroom decoration system
