“Pokemon Prototype” is great! The only Pokemon engine that is small, works, and fits on the calculator. It is beautiful graphically and the game runs at a perfect speed.

Another great thing about this Pokemon Prototype is you can easily edit the level and customize it using the easily accessible matrices, which opens up endless possibilities.

Only a few problems though. It has no readme, and the folder error comes up until you go into the code and change the map to pokemon NOT poke'mon and place all of the files into a folder called pokemon.

If you have a need for a good basic “Pokemon” RPG game engine, this file is a must have.

This review is not necessarily on the gameplay itself, but for the engine it uses. I find the engine of “Pokemon Prototype” to be very efficient, despite some minor optimization problems. The most admirable thing about this game/engine is that it does not use any ASM libraries; it's 100% old school TI-BASIC! The key response is fairly fast compared to how many routines and checks it needs to pass through. The graphics imported from a matrix file are a great way to do this kind of game, and the graphics all have a nice touch.

If you are a BASIC game-developer, then this beta game's source code is a must-see. You will definitely learn a lot from it.

Final score is 9/10 - Although after nearly five years since this beta was uploaded, it's not likely it will go anywhere past this state.
