I know you provide the breeder and I also know you don't intend it for how you plan out the players progression. hence that entirely intentional low jab crutch statement you put in. And I say sorry and apologize for lack of specificity and I don't wish to bother thy motivation for the project. I will very gladly admit never saw the hidden grove and never looked for it as not really what I expect in pokemon... Your intended path is too long and one exp share to grind up the main and secondary pokemon equiped with it and then to capture another pokemon to level that up too. Anything below 5 levels tops is pretty much just one shotted by the wall of I ain't no meme. No matter what of the few pokemon the player will have by the metaphical mountain of the child in front of the bridge to the outside world beyond the Dew town. Without the breeder not really a way to buy a lot. The breeder is significantly not really optional and more mandatory to progress or to even grab every starting pokemon and to level them. Breeder ain't optional at all. Your intended path would take way to much damn time
Because my 'intended' path was meant to reflect old Pokemon games, where (SPOILER) they do NOT provide any such Breeders to give you free EXP. Yes, my intention was for players to grind regular grass patches, however the breeders are optional because if they, like you, do not intend on spending too much time grindin levels, are presented with the option to use the breeder.
I mentioned this earlier, that route 1 is meant to be a reflection of how the game is going to be like for the rest of your run; It relies on players catching and training the right mons for the right moves (For example, I allow players to catch Houndour in Route 1 to counter Joey's Ferrothorn). Also, the waifumon presented to you are extremely overpowered for lore reasons, and the 'difficulty' of the game is to balance that.
And here's the thing; the game expands like crazy upon reaching city no 2, where the player is given access to a WHOLE lot more supporting items like tons of TMs, battle items, healing items, move relearners/deleters, more waifumon, and more incentives to continue. That's how I pace this game. Weed out the casual players, and reward those who truck through.
well then I am entirely wrong on that and thinking of the other pokemon game.... and after several minutes of searching I might be thinkin of pokeich but only in regards to a hidden grove/area to raise intimacy thing as it had? has? (been almost a year since update) something like that
