I've been playing this on and off for a few years now (yes, years), and theres... things to be said.
Good:
- The CGs are quite nice (both NSFW and SFW)
- A decent amount of QoL things have been added (like the link cable, or being able to use HMs without needing to teach them to mons)
- Very strong Hybrids/Fakemon, meaning that you get some neat mons.
Bad:
- The difficulty is just... not good. The game isn't advertised to be more difficult for starters. Secondly, the dev's idea of "making the game slightly harder to avoid Little Timmy method" is to ensure that the only people that don't struggle are those who play competitively (and win). Not to mention the shadow pokemon which are resistant to literally all types of attacks and have increased stats. Some enemies/bosses just auto OHKO resistant, high leveled mons anyways.
- The actually great Hybrids are locked behind (currently) late game, meaning you'll get them *after* you've done most of the game.
- Lots of WIP all over the game, with some being started earlier than others, yet being finished later (while it is a demo, and makes sense for WIP, there's a lot of WIP that's still a WIP since beta).
- It takes forever for any updates. It also doesn't help as the dev decided to start up another project a while ago (a Digimon version of this game), meaning resources that could have been used to finish up certain parts of this is being used on another project.
Ugly (Personal Issues):
- There's absolutely no reason why this game should be 500+ MB. Meanwhile other, finished games in the same engine with just as many, if not more, CGs are sitting at 200-300 mb, with only certain exceptions created by professional companies.
- While there is a gender choice at the start of the game, only about 30% of dialogue regards the player's choice for playing a female (futanari specifically).
- Speaking of futanari, the futa PC shares almost 100% of the same CGs as the male PC, with only one notable exception (won't spoil it though). Meaning it heavily breaks immersion when the manliest of men is doing the fucking as opposed to futanari dommy mommy. (Note: this specific issue has been noted in the Discord and may happen later, but isn't currently a priority.)
My overall score at the moment, 6/10, would be an 8/10 if some difficulty fix (either a nerf or a simple option) gets added, as well as being finished.
