>>21972899We get more words words words from my family -- I like fleshing the world out but I feel there's too much mandatory dialogue at the start of the game, it's slow.
There's a guard sleeping that I can't wake up, and I'm told by the game that I might need to find NPCs to get around things like this. Good to tell us this early on since that's not something common to vanilla Pokémon games.
There's also a girl looking for a trainer to take her Bulbasaur (it doesn't talk so I assume Eevee is an anomaly). We battle her to prove we're competent, and looking at Bruteroot's stats, I notice Attack is now Strength, Sp. Atk is now Spirit, and Sp. Def is now Intelligence.
The battle itself was just like Pokémon mechanically, but maybe the changes to the battle system are more subtle and I'll find out later on.
