>>58453794I actually really like the idea. They translated a surprising amount of turn based mechanics to DOT (I was surprised to see Perish Song) and I think it does a good job of retaining a lot of familiarity with existing Pokemon mechanics while effectively not being turn based. It goes a long way to really marry the world itself and the way you battle, without entirely dropping the series core mechanics, and that impressed me.
I've not done online, which may colour my opinion, but as of right now I would honestly be interested in them exploring this more and building on it, which is more than I expected to be saying. If I had to specify, it would be nice if move details gave more info on how the move works in terms of area (range length, homing or not, AOE size etc.)
