>>43203674Not so sure about that, the battles themselves are fun and I'm strategising a lot without overlevelling (but a lot of save scumming). There are non-damaging moves, they're just limited to a few Pokemon so you have to catch a lot (Chimecho has been a surprising bro this run so far)
Problem is strategising requires basically building a full new team for each major battle, which requires a disgusting amount of grinding as, like you say, there are no rematches and wild Pokemon all have status/recovery/self-destruct. I've probably spent 90% of my playtime so far just spamming sweet scent and battling shitmons for tiny amounts of EXP, only to have to drop that team member and start over once I clear a route.
I'll still finish it, even if just so I can criticise without some faggot telling me to 'git gud'. But I don't think it's very well made at all.
Just adding a VS Seeker would be the easiest way to make this infinitely better.
