Betas really don't manage to get finished all the way, do they? There's definitely room for improvement in all of them, but at least from what players can experience, there's definitely glimmers of hope for some fun storytelling and/or gameplay. Pokemon Luria certainly has the hallmarks of this, it's got a new region, new characters, new storyline. The overall plot is still "get starter, battle gym leaders, battle enemy team on occasion", and that's more or less fine and dandy. There were some decent ideas here, the B/W repel system is here, the Pokemon Centers and Marts are merged, and the hidden grottos offer neat exploration. Plus there's 1% encounters in the caves, and one of them was a Bulbasaur too. By the way, you do get the Hoenn starters as your pick.
It would have been nice if we got to see what development the main characters have. We know Prof. Gillian travels, Tutai is your childhood friend and rival, Simon is some guy chasing Team 1.5.1., and the leader of said team is named Butler. But that's about it. If this beta were to be finished, we might have found out more of course, but we got what we got. I usually try not to play unfinished betas as much, but at least this one made you get to at least two gyms, so that's pretty fair. And yes, I'm still making these walkthroughs, just for informational purposes.
