I wanted to copy the full review here, but itch is shockingly broken in that it doesn't allow me to copypaste stuff, so just look for my latest comment, i guess ;/.

TL:DR - great game, but desperately needs an actual card collection mode, where you unlock and collect indivudual pokemon to fill out your pokedex collection - and so you can actually use that awesome shiny Ninetales card for longer than the remaining 3 battles before the end of the run. In a team that actually synergizes with it.

It could be balanced by requiring BP to buy new cards, and adding several difficulty modes with higer BP rewards for winning.

Also, please add an one-time BP reward for earning badges (winning a run for the first time with a given starter set / league character) - it'll make the game flow more smoothly, encouraging trying new challenges while reducing the need to grind to unlock the next one.

Now i heard you plan something with legendaries becoming more important, i'm just hoping it's something similar to this..

Looking forward to the next update! Here's hoping i can update my review to 5 stars once it drops..
