Great Fan Game

The concept was great and original for a Pokemon Fan Game
Fakemon were adorable and blended well with the original Pokemon
It really feels like this could be a Pokemon Game, having 3 Gyms as well on a Game Jam time limit is a marvel on its own, the game replicates what the feeling of a Pokemon Game is, which can be tough for some Fan Games to do.
Gyms were difficult but at the same time not too difficult that I got upset
Music was great, especially the battle themes
Beginning really feels a lot like Platinum which is just so much fun on its own
The story, while simple in this demo, is something that does keep me wanting more
I never felt bored, I played this for 2 hours, took a break, and dove right back in. So to quote Brickman from the Australian Lego Masters, "You grabbed my attention [with an interesting concept] and then held it," which is not an easy feat.
The character sprites for the rivals and Gym Leaders and other important NPCs were amazing and very well done
The maps are fun to traverse, the longest ones are typically dungeons (ex: forest)
Despite there being no backsprites they weren't a negative for me, I actually found myself enjoying looking at my Pokemon's front during battle, I got more chances to appreciate the fronts which doesn't happen a lot in Fan Games.

- Only crash I encountered was one time with a Wild Pikachu Double Teaming but I never could replicate it
--------------------
This is a personal preference so take it with the smallest grain of salt: I'm not a fan of the grey circles in the icons, I found them distracting in the PC since they overlap, but that is such a small nitpick.

Final Thoughts: If you have any intention of continuing I would love to see where this story goes

I played for almost 2 hours, here's the feedback:

If the first gym leader has Pokémon at level 10, then there should be wild Pokémon around level 7-8. Especially if there is a level cap. I had to grind for a bit on level 3 Pokémon. Plus it would be nice to have an opportunity to catch Fighting-type Pokémon if the gym is Normal-type.
I don't know if it's a bug, but some TMs are one-time only, plus they seem pretty useless in battle and therefore finding them is not really rewarding (e.g. Skill Swap or something like that).
Spelling and punctuation could be better.

But...

I absolutely love your Fakémon designs! I saw only a few of them, but they seem like they could be in an official Pokémon game. I chose Woodill
PokéCenter interior design looks great too, routes and cities as well.
Ditto in Pokémon games is really underutilized, so I was surprised and happy that the first trainer in the gym had one.

Overall... I like it and will play more soon! It just needs some small fixes :)

Hello there! Thank you for this feedback, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the game!
I will take into account the problems that you told me, for example wild level for grind...
And also I would like to tell you that the TMs that are used only once are TRs, a thing introduced in gen 8. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/TR

Oh shuckle... Yeah I know about TRs, but apparently I can't tell the difference between R and M. My bad!

CelestialFearow · Feb 25, 2022

Hey, I did a quick little update!

CelestialFearow · Feb 25, 2022

Haunted Ditto · Feb 27, 2022

Congrats on submitting a game jam entry! Here are my thoughts:

Things I liked:
-Adorable Fakemon
-Very interesting and unique forest map (could have needed some ice types tho)
-Trainers using Pokeballs based on their class was a nice touch
-The first gym + libary was a nice way of introducing the changes to the player
-Love the rival's personality
-Encounter list was a nice addition

Things I didn't like:
-First gym of the game was insanely hard (Stomp on level 8 is insane)
-Music was a mixed bag (Not a big fan of the music of the first town, but the trainer battle music was a banger)
-Maybe a few TMs too much
-Very strange and huge level jumps after gyms

Issues/Bugs:
-"Rain Weather Ball" has a fire animation

My final team:

Loved the game so far waiting for MOAR :P

Hi, I ran into an error when trying to open the game. I downloaded and extracted v1.0.0 and applied the updates from the extracted folder of v1.0.3. The game ran and opened but was just a black screen (Intro music still played.) But when I pressed enter it gave me this error message.

Hello, thanks for reporting this issue! I updated the download link you just have to redownload the game, now it should work

0.1.3

Astefia · Mar 26, 2022

Started playing - and no music in the Pokemon Center.
It might be because my Windows is cyrillic, so the diacritics in the file name mess it up? But renaming that file did not help. Maybe the game also needs recompiling for this to work.
