I think you needed to put your own touch into the forest's map, as it seems very similar to PO's one, even with the bridges connecting mountains and stuff. But well, the addition of small quests like this one, and some pokemons like buterfree which was seen when you were walking to Saffron will make it better i hope.
Also, the npc had a few spelling errors which i hope are fixed:
First line: I'm so scared,
I need your help. (or I'm so scared, please help me)
Second line:
That Rhyhorn was attacking me, I'm hiding here (or: ,so I'm hiding here), I'm lost, can
you take me to Saffron City please?
Third line: I'll follow you.
Last line: Thank you so much, take
this present. (or: Thank you so much! Please take this present.)
Not to be annoying with small mistakes, but i think it makes the game look a lot more professional if it doesn't have them, such as PO's slot which said Pokemon
catched instead of caught, and they never fixed it.
