I like the concept for this game, but there are a few issues that are a big turn off for me. Firstly the racism/bigotry plotline is really hard to sit through. As someone who's experienced this personally in the past, it's pretty jarring when you experience it in game and takes you out of the experience. Not that I'm throwing shade at your writing skills, but I feel like the regions being racist towards one another is really poorly implemented in game. A lot of the time it feels like these remarks were written in for the sake of saying something racist/bigoted, rather than for setting the plot forward or world building. I feel like if you want to focus on that as a story device, you need to put more care on explanation as to why the regions hate each other. Outside of one NPC telling you "Some people out there might hate you for no reason" there is little to no explanation as to why the region is in the state it's in.

Another issue I have is the open world factor. While this on paper is a great idea, I think some tweaks need to be made. It seems as though story points are not altered if you do things out of intended order. For example, at one point while exploring I stumbled upon the evil team in the snowy region. This was the first time encountering them, and had only had NPCs tell me about them prior to this. Despite that fact, the leader treated me as if I had already encountered them multiple times and had thwarted their plans. This was pretty confusing as I had never encountered them before, and kinda killed the immersion.

Overall I think this game has some really great ideas, but needs a bit more work to flesh out the story and open world aspect. I'll be keeping my eye out for if/when this has been done before attempting another run.

I appreciate all the feedback when it comes to the writing and story. Some of it unfortunately came down to the little amount of time to work on the game unfortunately but I will also admit it wasn’t entirely that and I should’ve spent more time on why. However I don’t understand what specifically you are referring to with the open world not changing if you do different stuff since I did make sure to alter it depending on what you did. Though I may have overlooked that one singular line. Could you tell me where exactly that was?

How do you change difficulty setting?

amanvats123 · Sep 10, 2023

How to beat 2nd gym which is electric gym in Pokémon control and freedom as two persons are asking inside the gym to show them their dance moves. I get always stuck at that part. Please help.

pollokima · Sep 10, 2023

PLEASE HELP. I was running through the bridge when suddenly I just disappeared and I couldn't move. It seems I am under the bridge? For some reason?? IDK MAN IT ALL JUST KINDA HAPPENED. I don't have any pokemon that can use anything to get me out of the bridge. Also, I saved the game and exited when it happened so now I'm REALLY stuck. I thought it would reset my character :( Can you fix this bug? And how do I get myself unstuck? Here's the video of the bug if you need it

Oh damn that’s not good. Thank you so much for sending me an actual video because some people have posted similar things happening and I’ve had no idea how to fix it but I think I can now. Do you know what side you entered the bridge from? Also do you have the Flying Taxi Ticket yet?

Either way I’ll dm you a fix in about an hour or two (since I don’t have access to my computer rn). Sorry for the inconvenience though!

Thank YOU for replying!! I entered from the right of the bridge, and no, I do not have the Flying Taxi Ticket yet. I only have the 1st and 2nd gym badges. And I prob won't be able to reply to your DM for while because I have things to do lol. Thank you again!!

Yep! In Oregalite City (right to the gym)

baabaablacksheep.rp@gmail · Sep 11, 2023

Is there a full pokedex page for this game?

Yeah! If you look in Blinwarf City, there's an Evolution Cafe that tells you all you need to know. you can also get evolution items there

Is there a way to check level up move sets? I’m using duoblade and I have a dusk stone but I want to make sure he gets his good moves first

You don’t even need to check on level up move sets because the Pokemart guy in the Pokecenter has a move relearning feature. Just interact with him and select “Change Pokémon” to find it.

Playing with palaside cus I thought it was the pseudo and I don’t think bug spray works properly against bugs. It hit veewiweev for neutral

PokeTrainer493 · Sep 15, 2023

So for the Blinwarf Gym Darkness Puzzle I was able to put my laptop brightness up and actually kind of see where I was going, is that supposed to be possible?

Yes. Everyone vocally hated that gym so you can just barely see it with a decent monitor now lol
