A really fun and cute game! Even as a person who has never played any of the pokemon games, this still was an extremely fun and even a bit addictive. Really impressive, considering this was made only in 7 days!!

Such a cute game! Playing it really gave me a sense of nostalgia!
The visuals are beautiful, and the sound design fits perfectly! My only suggestion would be to slightly slow down the player’s movement speed.

Developer

lmao everyone had an issue with the player movement I'm glad thats the only criticism right now!

Shockingly accurate gameboy Pokemon experience with a genuinely really nice fishing twist. And it isn't just a standard Pokemon clone with all the types and moves copied verbatim, there's been a noticeable amount of effort been put in to make it feel distinct despite the clear inspiration and it's paid off. I'll be coming back and playing this a lot, I want a shiny

Developer

I know a guy who can give you a shiny just dont tell anyone (thanks lol!)

Nice game, I will say the difficulty could use a little work, however the super-effective indicators were really helpful to me.

Developer

This is a solid retro Pokemon game, and in this short of time! Love the feedback animation when attacking and sound effect from each attack. Love the game !

Some real fishy business you've got here

Developer

I finch you're crazy

I have to say how you even done this in such short of time?? Making a full Pokemon Like game is impressive!! The art is def gameboy vibes, the music and sounds are spot on. Mechanics work great. I could see this as potential knock-off pokemon game for sure.

But there are things I had problems with that couldn't make me go as far as I hoped (got stuck at the Jessie James fight) the game is bit unbalanced. I needed to grind like crazy to be able to beat James with my water type. 

Besides that there where some dialogues that showed "Placeholder" is it intentional?? The movement was bit fast like I was on ice.

Overall it's an impressive game, I couldn't score bad at all it's nice game you definitly should tweek a bit!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback means a ton! Yeah sorry about the unbalanced early game fights, the intention was to force players to catch more creatures, but at the same time not everyone needs to lol. Also yeah the placeholder thing was intentional lol.

yeah boi the player is so fast
