>>56094282That's good to know. I picked him simply because he felt like he wouldn't be a "main character" pokemon in the same way that Shinx didn't (which initially caught me off guard and I didn't think I would like). Having ranged attacks has been a lot of fun so far, and at least a couple chapters in they strike a good balance of being able to control the flow of combat but it getting a bit challenging when the enemies get close.
Like I said, so far my only gripe is the main Pokémon you have to choose from are very by the books as opposed to the previous game that felt like they had a lot of wild cards thrown in there, but at least the other characters maintain that feeling of being picked out of a hat.
I miss the sprite art like you wouldn't believe.
