I _have_ seen the beta, and I was rather disappointed, to be completely
honest. The only good part was the graphics- and they weren't origonal.
Actually, all you REALLY need to do to make it look decent is draw the edges
of the screen, the way it scrolls looks _REALLY_ bad. Otherwise, it was kinda
nifty. :)

I didn't mean war or anything, I believe I mentioned that I was gonna remove
comments about other programming groups... well, the ACZ at lest. I meant you
guys too. My aplogies for anyone I have offended.
(I don't mean to sound ingrateful, but you helped me with the lookup tables?
If you did, I wanna put that in the readme for it... do you have an ICQ/AIM
name that is completely different than your e-mail address??)

Don't think I'm that good yet... :)
As I said, it will be SOMEDAY... not anytime soon. (And for the record, I
never said anything about what you might happen to make in the future. ;)

Lead Programmer for Pokemon 89? Well, despite the jab (it wasn't a jab,
really, I never said anything BAD about Pokemon 89 on my site, I just hinted
that sometime in the not-to-close future that I'd make something better!)
Pokemon 89 is a great effort, and I can't wait to see what happens when it's
complete (and the edges of the screen are drawn)!
Once again, I aplogize for any offendedness, as I said I was gonna remove
those types of comments... and that website is far from being complete/useful
unless you want the Lookup Table TutoriCode...
