@Rld0528 Have you tried breeding the Sprigatito yourself? You get access to breeding as soon as the world opens up via picnicking.

@Fizza idk how to do that? Can you explain how

@Rld0528

The school in this game is legit helpful.

@Kermit1Pineapple
Btw, have you experienced with this Crazy Frog glitch ?

@Anti-Matter Only 2 glitches in my play through and they were nothing of note.

I'm gonna give the game an 8/10!!!

The bugs and poor optimisation are forgivable but the unintuitive and boring design choices of the game aren’t forgivable.

It's been a few hours since I posted this and I have now found both a shiny Drifloon AND Mudbray.....WITHIN FOUR MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. BOTH FULL ODDS.

I'm buying a lottery ticket.

@Fizza AMAZING LUCK!!!

"THIS IS NOT A TOXIC VIDEO"

I've officially hit the halfway point across all three storylines right now and can I just say: I'm far more invested in the characters than I am the actual stories? Like Gym Challenge, big Pokemon and evil team woo yeah baby, but the characters are just so much fun that even basic premises like that get lifted by their personalities and quirks. Nemona is infectiously bubbly and probably the best 'friend' out of any rival, Clavell is the extremely serious authority figure who gets put in the most ridiculous situations ever (a character trope I absolutely adore) and Arven is a guy who seems to have deep-rooted anger issues and a genuine care to try and make his poor Mabosstiff better. The stories themselves may be what we've been used to, but the characters turn them from pedestrian to perfection. Cannot wait to continue on since the next Gym is the Normal type one and it apparently has the best character in the game so I'm very much looking forward to that!

I think I might go for that Pokemon refund....

I've enjoyed my time with the game so far but I gotta admit it feels under-cooked, clunky and more of the same.

Didn't you just say it was an 8 out of 10?

Basically my feelings in summary too.

@Pizzamorg that was a joke............

..?

Okay.

@Fizza I somehow did the normal gym as my second gym. The pre-battle 'puzzle' isn't great but there are definitely some fun characters. I also kind of liked the electric gym leader even though she was so tropey and absurd. I agree Nemona is best 'rival' ever. I'm kind of tempted to lose to her just to see what she says.

I've got the refund for the game, now I'm just waiting to get the money back and the game deleted.

So I'll be leaving this thread, bye!!!!!

Is this game really as bad as I hear people say? I don’t have it yet but I’m planning on getting it soon.

@Atomic77 It depends on how much mild graphical jank annoys you. Gameplay, it's not totally perfect, but I think it's really fun personally and a lot of other's are enjoying it a lot as well.

I did the Normal gym fifth I think, and I feel like that was the real turning point for me. I had no fighting types, and to this day I haven't found a massive amount of them even still, and without type advantages, I found this gym really hard.

Actually, it was actually the hardest gym in my entire journey. Took me a good four or five tries. Think the water one took me three, and a couple of the later ones took me two. I dunno what happened, the first third of each questline was stupidly easy, and then after that I seemed to keep falling further and further behind the level curve, despite spending hours at a time exploring the world and battling/catching.

Going back to the Normal gym, I had to overlevel myself to clear it in the end. I dunno why but that final pokemon, even without type advantages on their side either, Facade was one shotting my Pokémon even when I was a higher level by a significant number. I'm pretty sure I only got it done on my last attempt because late in the fight they missed a hit, and that extra hit that allowed me to get in made the difference.

It was also the only gym challenge I had to Google 😅 I just could not work out what that challenge wanted me to do at all and I still don't really.
