Completed Pokémon Tectonic

Let's get the big thing out of the way. I personally think the gameplay of Tectonic is some of the best I've ever seen. This is mainly about the battle related things, but there's a couple of things I want to mention too.
The Pokemon rebalances, mechanics changes and the things done to ease the player into the changes
So, right off the bat, imo the mechanic changes introduced in Tectonic would be comparable, to, say an entirely new generation of Pokemon. Serious there's a lot of changes. The changes were all, for the most part, well thought out and balanced. The only change I didn't quite like was the move power reduction in Sun/Hail but that's mainly because I hate being crippled lmao. The status changes were all superb, and extremely fun to play with. Leech is my favourite status, shoutout to health the Torterra w/ Leech Seed and Root Shelter for absolutely CARRYING most of the legendary avatars. The change of stat stages into 'steps' was neat one, I didn't particularly notice any difference but it didn't worsen the experience, so whatever.
Pokemon rebalances were, fun! Each Pokemon felt unique enough to use and filled a niche that another quite didn't. A very notable example is :) the Absolus with Life Dew who along with health was absolutely goated during the earlier avatars. All rebalances were very fun to play around with, and it was nice seeing some mons get absolutely busted(looking at you, Space Interloper M.Gigalith, and how can I forget, Transcedent Energy Ampharos with Stubbporn and Power Herb capable of soloing entire fights). The decision of changing most megas into evos was one I really enjoyed, and the other megas who are special forms like the aforementioned Amphy were also pretty cool.
Moves and Abilities were, for the most part, fine, both rebalanced and new ones. I enjoy it when abilities are designed to complement a mon's moveset, which Tectonic achieved, quite brilliantly, I might add. Best part about the move rebalances was the fact that now every single type had low/medium/high bp moves with no drawback, something which I feel is sorely missing in canon Pokemon.
Let's talk about the Masterdex and the Battle guides. I fucking loved these mechanics. Tectonic is a game which introduces a lot of changes to the base Pokemon formula, which can make it hard to get into, owing to the fact that one may not be able to remember all these changes right off the bat. Both the Masterdex and Battle Guide made it extremely look up information whenever, wherever. The layout of the Masterdex is also very easily readable, and I love that Move Info is also displayed with everything at once. I can't stress enough how much both of these things bettered the gameplay experience. 10/10 mechanics, would love to see them in other fangames too.
The mechanic of consumables coming back after each fight was very goated. It definitely made running Power Herb Ampharos, Flying Gem Salamence and the likes much easier. another 10/10 mechanic
I can't say much for tribes as I didn't have a team centered around them, but from what I saw of the Pro Trainer fights and the Sang fights they make for pretty interesting strats.
Avatar fights were all cool and designed well. Enjoyed them all. Shoutout to Deoxys avatar for being the easiest avatar fight in the game period. lmaO
Map Design
The maps in Tectonic were pretty fun to explore in, there's a lot of hidden secrets, something which I absolutely adore in a game. Exploring and fighting avatars to find new items is very fun. Tectonic also incorporates one of my favourite aspects of map design ever: having interconnected maps. The rush of serotonin I got from discovering the hidden path to LuxTech Campus from Eleig Stretch was :D
Miscellaneous Shit

• Although Tectonic didn't have Speed Up, the devs have clearly made effort into speeding up the base game, something which I really appreciate.
• The ability to skip story entirely if you want is also excellent. I am all for options in RPGs and this was one of my favourite things in the game.
• Avatar Totems were very cool, Also Pocket Totem is cool.

I'll be honest here. The story is a complete snoozefest until the first Sang fight. It's... just boring, most of the "story" is just text dumps aka your calls with Zain. It fell heavily into 'Telling Not Showing' which I really dislike, I mean, you don't even see your supposed rival for the first time until half of the game is over, I don't like that kind of storytelling.
But it gets better after that, everything moves quickly and in a fun way. Yezera's twist is my favourite main story moment. The other plot points after that are also well done. Also I can appreciate Yezera trying to reset the entire fucking world because of her social anxiety, slay girl.
All in all, decent story, could've been better but honestly I play Tectonic for the gameplay not story, the two did good enough job of complementing each other and that's what needed the most.
But, the place where I really feel the story shines the most, is the recurring sidequests. I enjoyed going through every single one of them because, the dialogue is just SO well written. All of them are unique and funny in their own ways and I just love them so much. My fav three characs were Skyler the rizz god , Candy the Social Justice Warrior and Imogene Duo aka Mew n Ditto. I especially loved Imogene, something about her story just, striked within me and resonated. It hit all the right boxes of what I consider to be a mixture of lovely, hopeful and sad. I can go on for hours and hours about how I much I love her character, both of "her" delusions about being a real human and so, much, more.

Tectonic was a wonderful game. It is a game made with love and care. I appreciate that so much. I cannot express enough just how much I enjoyed the damn experience. Everything from the story to gameplay to maps was a lot of fun to play through. So much care has been put in to ensure a smooth gameplay experience. I love that. I was skeptical before playing but after playing I can safely say that Tectonic has been shoved into my Top 5 fangames and romhacks. I'm very interested in seeing where the game goes from here, and all the best to the devs for their future endeavours.
