It's a Pokemon game but you fuck the hot trainers, I'm quite frankly surprised we went this long without something like this being made.
Gameplay wise, the first act is well balanced enough, but that all goes flying out the window when you run into high level fully evolved Pokemon out in the wild. Specifically, I found Alakazam can just spam Hypnosis and win battles it has no business being in, we're talking 40+ level differences here.
And from there, capturing lvl 50 Tyranitars and Braviaries to pad the team takes less than 10 minutes, and every other trainer outside of the Elite Four gets curbstomped.
As is customary for games featuring Pokegirls, we have the usual problem of some fan favorites not showing up, like I'd love to see May, Sonia, Lusamine, and Sabrina get added. (Olympia being in instead of Sabrina feels like a ??? to me.)It looks though as if the dev is accommodating of this so I'd love to see more in the future.
Animations are great, there's some variety in the foreplay scenes but for the most part the writing's fairly lackluster. Several lines of dialog that were ripped from the games, then sure we can have sex. As giving Pokemon Masters EX has shown it's not hard to give these characters the tiniest amount of depth to stand out from each other. Since this is dating sim-esque I wouldn't be surprised if talk options are in the works, but still game definitely has a lot more potential.
Still very patchwork but with great art and good enough gameplay I'll give it a 5 because we NEED a game like this.
