I loved this. I really wanted to find a little fishing game on here that I could just pick up and play when I had the urge without needing to commit to a playthrough of something like Harvest Moon. This was exactly what I wanted and more! The fishing mechanics are engaging whilst also being relaxing. There’s no annoying systems like bait that you can run out of. I can genuinely see myself just fishing by the pond near your house for ages. Actually playing through the game is great too. I love exploring the world. There’s so many little details like the pidgeys on rooftops and trainers catching Pokémon in the background! This feels alive in a way that even the official Pokémon games don’t. The rival is a lot of fun and he even rivals those from the official games (pun intended). The soundtrack is also great and wouldn’t sound out of place in official Pokémon games, especially the rival theme! When I was a kid I really liked the idea of being a character in this world who just lived in Viridian city and would train up Caterpies in the forest rather than travelling the region to become the champion. Doing that must have been my first roleplaying experience and this game has given me the chance to relive that experience all over again
