Well, unless there's multiple of each egg type, looks like I won't be getting the Deino egg lol. May can suck a dick if she think she gettin' that Larvesta egg.
Lol I wouldn't lie to you if I said I wanted Larvesta egg too but I didn't want to start taking in more classes when I already have 2 classes to worry about.

Luckily I was already working on Fire for my Cyndaquil. But Larvesta>Cyndaquil

It takes longer to feel like you're relevant at first, since you need to level up your classes just to catch up to what level the Pokemon is in the first place. The more weeks available, the more obvious it'll be that you can skyrocket your cap well beyond what you're even training to with the exp you get. Also, you don't have to win all your battles, and losing can reward you even more exp. Just don't throw all your battles, or you'll start looking weak.

I also want the opportunity to slap back at Lance and call him a flying specialist. Because Dragon tamer he ain't. and before he starts dissing my little bro he should learn his own pokemon types.

You kinda have to choose between winning, which gives more character xp so you can romance faster, or losing which gives more xp to pokemon. But honestly losing is going to be important if you want to lvl up the new baby pokemon, especially idiots like me that wanted Wynaut/Wobbuffet for the memes, because neither pokemon have any attacking moves except for Counter and Mirror Coat.

Adding switch training or maybe a way to train pokemon without having to battle would be good for low levels.

There are ways to get xp without battling, but the xp gain is sh*t… for now anyways.

-Hanging with the girls after you’ve increased your relatiinship with them grants very small amounts of xp to pokemon types that they study and are in your team.
-Also the new update introduced another way to gain xp: battle team training every friday night.

I assume that we will gain more xp the higher our relationship lvl go and the further in the story we progress.

Also, while I’m on the topic of xp, I have a complaint on the xp reward we get from battling wild pokemon.
I’m getting the same xp knocking out lv11-14 as knocking out lv3s, I only keep getting 10 xp no matter the lv of the wild pokemon against the lvl of the pokemon I’m using.
Leveling my Charmeleon’s Lv from 16 to 17 then potential Lv to Lv18 and my Pikachu’s Lv from 15-18 was b*tch of a grind.
Ughhhh… I just remembered as I’m writing this that I still have a Lv15 Quilava to Lv cap.

Yes, it is. It's perfectly possible for a game to have a pre-defined character (including their sexuality) that the player has no influence over. In fact, bulk of the games on this site --including "character-driven stories"-- have pre-defined heterosexual characters and never give the player a choice in this regard. I don't recall seeing you complain in threads of those other games about this issue.

If you can't "insert yourself" into a bisexual character, and are also unable to approach it as reading/crafting a story about someone who isn't "you" but simply a person the story is about, then it's basically just a "you" problem. This developer has no real obligation to go out of their way to accommodate your preference, just like most of them don't.
99% of the games on this site, including all the ones that promote "player choice" make the MC straight without any input from the player

Do you also complain about those?
Honestly, why would he need to complain about those? whether you like it or not, heterosexual relationships is and always will be the default relationship for anything unless the author says otherwise, because that's the main type of relationship for the whole human race, it's simple biology and since they are the majority in the population if someone wants something to be very popular this is the way to do it.

I realize that. But its pretty obvious someone is being disingenuous in an attempt to hide behind the "player choice" argument. Just say you don't want to play as a gay or Bi character lol. Its fine to have preference.

Nobody is forcing you to engage with the male characters in the game beyond like the 3 primary ones in the story.

Because he's complaining about "lack of choice", and not that MC's sexuality doesn't conform with the default. If his problem is really with the former then it should manifest for all games where the choice isn't given. If the problem is actually with the latter then, well, start with being honest about it.

am i the only who doesnt self insert into characters and view them from "outside pov" like a movie
No, but the appeal of being able to self-insert is a high selling point in a lot of media, so it's sort of become a mainstay trend. Especially if you make your own choices, people like to imagine themselves in that position. Which means that people tend to make characters bland or easily relatable to ease this interaction.

It's not disingenuous at all, you just don't want to admit that we're right and that it should be toggleable. How many of those other games are written to include potential gay relationships? Comparatively not a lot, and a good portion of the ones that do probably have it advertised somewhere, whether in the tags or in the genre, and/or toggleable. This one is written to include them and doesn't advertise it at all, while also not having it toggleable. That's the difference here. Advertising and writing. If the writing doesn't allow for the choice because there's not gay content (e.g. Harem Hotel) then it's understandable why there's not a choice. If the bisexual content is advertised either through tags or genre, I still maintain that it should be a toggleable, but I can allow myself to be more lax in judging it for it since we are at least forewarned of it. Now, if a game didn't have gay content but still had a toggle for a gay only content, that would frankly be hilarious. A man surrounded by horny women that he won't fuck because he's gay? That would be great for a laugh, and I'd definitely play it.
The one way that I was mildly disingenuous is that I did focus more on the gay portion of that, and ignored the straight part of it. Yeah, make it toggleable for only gay content too. Realistically it's not like it would actually take that much more writing (specifically referring to this game with that statement), just some tweaks here and there. Though, the code might be a bit more complicated as a result. I'm not certain of that, I haven't done much coding before.

It feels hypocritical to say "that's not disingenuous" and then immediately fall into the same kinds of arguments that are being criticized as disingenuous. Just because things are common does not mean that we should always assume that they are to be treated as the standard by which we manage all expectations around. Not only do different things happen, they sometimes should happen. It isn't the game's fault that a character who could swing either way comes off as bothersome to your sensibilities, even though you can choose the interactions that they engage in yourself. More than this, that's effectively the same as a toggle, since you have a choice over an amount of the content that you are exposed to.

Look if you're only going to bring up "player choice" when the main character doesn't default to heterosexual, then it very fucking obviously isn't about player choice and it is the textbook definition of disingenuous

Should content and kinks be toggleble? Sure. Femdom, cuckoldry, NTR, or various other controversial tags I totally support. But that is an entirely different conversation

This game is No Sexual Content game anyway. Which is fine.
