Okay now Ash looks like he's actually moving, rather than just magically teleporting from one square to the other. Yeah, basic animation is working now (after hours I finally understood how invalidate() worked, forgot to check the wiki). Also I added some more sprites and cleaned up and structured the code better. There's not much to try, but at least you can move Ash around and enjoy the wonderful scenery: http://webgel.net/bf/fuschia_test.tns (best tried on the actual calculator though, it's too fast on the computer) Edit: it is still quite slow (but playable) at the moment, but there are still things I need to optimize, it'll be done later.
I'll now work on some basic interaction with objects and other stuff.

It's Fuchsia because I didn't even know what kind of color fuchsia was, and also because it's such a manly color. (I don't even know how you pronounce "fuchsia")

It's pronounced similar to "few-shaw," but without the 'w' in shaw.  The color fuchsia is a purple color, similar to these: (Note how many people accidentally misspell fuchsia.)

Spoiler For Spoiler:

Thank you good sir. o/

Ash can now somewhat interact with objects. A sign in this case.

Looks very nice. Why I haven't got a Nspire? o/

Because you aren't in a school that forces you to buy one. ;_;

Are you planning to eventually release the source code? It would be nice for people who wants a tilemapper

Sure! This is what I have at the moment: http://pastebin.com/phnSAjKH (there's not much to see at the moment, I'll post the code again once I have cleaned it up and have some more interesting things. Edit: also there are things I still need to optimize, for example now it will redraw all the objects on the screen at every call at on.paint(), etc.)

Edit: new cleaned up and more consistent code: http://pastebin.com/0HPsh4vy

Yay, samples. I can get started on my laggy TF2 platformer or whatever I'm doing! That's some clean code.

Ah ok, sorry to hear. I hope you can work on both again soon 

A tilemapper will definitively be a good idea, since people often get stuck on that part, along with collision detection.

Your project seems to have a problem: the map seems not to be scrolling.

I've heard that it won't work that great with scrolling -- the rendering speeds just aren't fast enough.

Well, I'm ok with it, and I think everybody is. In my opinion, a good game is better than a stick-to-original game. But you won't be able to make exactly the same maps as in the original game (but I think that it is not important, and that this is not your goal or you would have called it Pokemon Yellow II).
