If you try out the game for a quick jerk then this ain't it. You have to work for your smut. If you've never played a pokemon game then i suggest you find something else because this won't be something for you.
Now, if you are still interested then your expectations is probably alligned with the dev's ambition. The game is more difficult than your typical pokemon game made for children. Brute-forcing and rushing through doesn't generally pay off. HOWEVER, it really isn't that difficult to the point where you'll be stuck anywhere. Grinding is minimal, few minutes max. That is if know to how to properly battle in pokemon games. I don't understand how people are complaining about difficulty if you bothered to download the game knowing what it is.
Speaking as of version 0.335A, the story has been ok. Nothing captivating but good enough to keep you interested to keep progression. Although it might hook in when you get more insight of the region and the villainous group in later version. Your rival is a mild uwu girl but not annoying, she's actually pretty funny. It's kind of a rivals-to-lovers sorta relationship going on here. The addition that makes the game feel lively and enjoyable are the occasional side events that happens with your lewd pokemon, rival and npcs. And the fact that those events carries alot of content but is still optional makes it so proper exploration is encouraged. (you probably want a walkthrough or event-checklist when playing). The game also has original pokemon which are not from the games/anime, very interesting!
For the porn aspects of the game, it's just ok. You not only smash your pokemon which has sexualized/humanized proportions but you smash human girls as well. The art isn't the best but it has a charm to it. Alot of other RPGM on this site share this trait. There is constantly a sexual tension but the graphically nsfw scenes are scarce. Because the nsfw portion of the game is so scarce you'd kinda wish it was something really more of better quality, detail and transition. But it passes and it's still sexy to an extent. I also wish there were more nsfw scenes with humans, maybe occasional voyeurism or exhibitionism which only needs a single frame. Doesn't meanmuch but it adds to the world greatly. For example, some npc's that you battle could have nude or exposed sprites. Maybe allow us to also peep in the bathroom in the peepin tom event?, etc. bunch of missed opportunites.
Game has no game breaking bugs. Clean interface which is loyal to traditional pokemon games. Just change text speed to fast and screen size to XL (looks good) and you're good to go.
I'd rate it 5 stars but despite being called "H" version, the hentai just currently isn't quite to my standard, my apologies to the artist. And because so far the game delivers good content and is enjoyable. Is it worth trying out? If you enjoy pokemon games in particular then this is the perfect game for your niche.
The only complaints i have really is that alot of people are going to save-scum so that their lewd pokemon has the right nature. this is an extremely tedious process but we still do it because the right nature is preferable. Can you do something about it? And i wish there was a heavier emphasis on lewding your starter. She is your starter, the OG, the subject your prof entrusted you with, so storywise i think she needs more lovin', doesn't even need to be lewd, but cute and funny cg's during her earlier evo's are fine. I think it'd make great additions to the early game to help players hold on to interest.
