Have made it to the first gym town. The game certainly starts off tough. I’ve definitely had some eye popping moments on nearly every trainer when something unusually powerful suddenly comes up. The powerful starter and Lopunny certainly help though. Any other team slot suggestions this early? Got Snubull for debuffs with intimidate and charm, Bellsprout for status powders, Houndour and Mankey are sort of just general offense.
Oh yeah, minor bug? For the first double battle pair, both npcs can be battled one after the other with an identical team. Feels unintentional.
