But here is the question
can anyone suggest when (ie line in walkthrough or day/event) is best to either avoid a girl or break-off with her so that you max content but minimise playthroughs (ie instead of a complete start to finish per girl can you misbehave and then Branch (cull out) various girls as you go so you end up with each in a separate path ??
We don't know for sure what the consequences of cheating on Lisa are (CP points) or romancing multiple girls. It is probably a bad idea though.
Can probably fool around up to the end of day 3, because that's when CP points are first introduced (after item 51).
There aren't many significant consequences so far though, so can't list specific branch points where the pokemon approach will lead to a bad outcome.
I have three routes: Lisa romance (no cheating), Lisa romance (cheat - max content, future drama), Lisa friends (screw everyone but Lisa).
I'm confident I can hack the variables when things get messy though. It would be safer to have faithful playthroughs for each of the love interests. Look for the first [Girl Path] for whoever you're currently pursuing, avoid CP if it's Lisa and maximise RP with the object of your affections.
