Character becomes stuck facing upwards on losing the injured Lapras team rocket battle

Really loving all the new content so far, it's all super polished and I haven't run into any other big issues, but as the title says, if you lose the Orange Islands' first battle against Team Rocket (something that's pretty likely since their pokemon's levels are where they were last time they were fought, while you're incentivized to get a new lv10 team to be equal to the trainers you're fighting in the orange islands) you end up being stuck constantly facing upwards forever. You can move all the directions normally, but your character is stuck facing upwards the entire time and can't face any other direction to interact with anything (which means you cant do the event again, since you can't face downwards to talk to Lapras, so you're stuck unable to progress).

Maybe it's a bit of a disconnected thought to this, but I think it'd also be a good QoL change to tell the player they should swap out their team for newer pokemon when they enter each region, going into the Orange Islands it took a few battles to realize it wasn't just fisherman being low level, but that every trainer was ~lv10 and that I should be there too. Just a professor or other NPC you meet quickly into the new regions (or at least the first one) just telling you that your champion pokemon deserve a rest or something would be good to help ease in the mindset
