Picodex - A Gen 1 Battle Sim for PICO-8

Hi everyone, I'm not really active in this community but thought the crowd here would appreciate the project I just finished.

I recreated the gen 1 battle system in the style of the original Pokedex design from the anime. The game was created in PICO-8, which is a fantasy game console that has a storage limit of 32KB. Here's what it looks like:

You can play it for free on lexaloffle: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52388
Or itch.io: https://alanxoc3.itch.io/picodex

It uses mostly "Pokemon Stadium 1" mechanics, with a few tweaks that are described in detail at the above links.

I was introduced to the Smogon community while researching the mechanics of Pokemon. Specifically, these guides were extremely helpful to me while implementing this project:
The battle system was fun and a challenge to make. One thing I tried really hard to do was tweaking moves so that infinite battles are impossible (unless both players keep switching every turn).

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this little game. Oh, and here's a sneak peak at the spritesheet my brother and I created:
