Well, got around the problems that I had discussed before. I have a couple strings that are only used once in a while, so I dumped the text off into that and backed up the location of the string into another spare finance var. oh, and I switched the entire text display, save for position of text on the screen, into using finance variables for keeping track of things.

I have also thought about going in and writing in a routine that edits the map before it is displayed, pending on if events or pokeballs have been checked and such. This might slow map displaying down some, from the initial displaying, not the rendering or the moving around part. Is this worth it to everyone else? This way I wouldn't have extra characters or items on the screen when they are used or certain events were taken care of. Would actually be VERY easy to make, once I feel I get the pokemon to where you can get them, of course. This still holds top priority.

Also, been writing this code up to get all three pokemon, and I believe I have it written out. however, there is a lot of 'redundant code' that is the exact same between all three. So what I am thinking about doing is rewriting it to have the bulk of the same code and the conditionals to make changes to what is needed. Just not sure if it will be smaller or not. One could only hope so, but I won't know until I actually write it all out.. so yeah, here goes!

Same as Ztrumpet here. If the loading isn't extreme it should be fine I think.

I guess it should be fine then. After all people played the old Illusiat games that took 6-7 seconds to render maps sometimes

You have neat writing

it looks good. I'll look closer later and tell you if I find any optimizations and such.

That looks really cool!  You've got excellent and easily understood writing too.

What do the / + and * mean?  I think the / is a newline.  What are the others?

Great code!

Hmmm...I hate that I can't follow all of the code.

Ya, I figured that it would be. I just don't get the whole new line/pause/return thing that he said. Other than that I could probably work through lol.

Oh, that is just what is put in his strings and is parsed later on, it's nothing really to do with basic.
