Walkthrough Simple Pokemon DarkFire Version Beta 2.1.3

Hello, I'm writing this walkthrough for Pokemon DarkFire version beta 2.1.3, a Pokemon game created by Karl and Ray Maverick. I really enjoyed their game and want to thank them both for creating it. I've created this simple walkthrough that outlines the basic steps, including where you need to go and what you need to do. Please note that I'm not affiliated with anyone, including the creators of this Pokémon game, so this isn't an official walkthrough. If you find any mistakes or missing information, please feel free to correct them. Peace and greetings to everyone.
