did you use a team of at least 4 to finish the first part of this alpha? I only went through it with one pokemon... it's not difficult, I would say too easy and I'm not a native player playing pokemon, I seriously started playing it in emerald and left it and now I see this and said "we'll see if it's true" and I didn't use another More than the initial one, it shouldn't be like that...
and I didn't even bother to put the image as I said, only with the initial one, in fact I expected that something H would happen with it already evolved but... nothing...
This goes back to my point of "...the starter is busted".
The starting Pokemon in this game is, especially after evolving, abnormally strong. It has an amazing typing, an amazing signature move(s), and a good move pool otherwise, alongside good base stats. Comparing it to official starters, their is maybe two that are even anywhere comparable. And I mean that in the sense that there's only been two other starters that I would say are on the same level of strength, or at least usability, as a
legendary Pokemon.
The starter is good enough to completely ignore the difficulty curve of the game because it's just that strong.
This isn't normal for Pokemon mind you, let alone for games like this that try to be more difficult than the actual Pokemon games.
It's why the difficulty curve of this game is weird.
"This game is supposed to be difficult so I'll throw illegal pokemon and spike the levels up immediately to show you how tough this region is comparatively"
also this game
"Here's your starting Pokemon that when evolved once trivializes pretty much every encounter, oh and this buffed special Lopunny too just in case. Have fun!"
There's an identity crisis here that could really be solved by focusing more on having an engaging story with a decent/strong conclusion rather than trying to make a purposely hard game.
