So, when I first started the game. I really enjoyed the plot ideas, and how the intro was relatively short. Not a normal thing to not be able to pick your starter, but knowing they will be available later on in the game, I still went ahead and tried it. To be honest, the game wasn't quite as hard before the last few updates, when some others said the game was too easy. But I thought that it was well put together, the levels still felt challenging even though it wasn't terribly difficult. But it's supposed to be a kids game. I've been grinding and rage quitting a couple times lately because it seems the type attribute system doesn't have an effect anymore. Just send out your strongest pokemon, use the strongest moves you have, and hope you win and get enough xp to keep playing and competing without grinding. I guess I'm one of those people where I want to grind because I want too, not because I have too. Maybe I've spent 2 days looking for that bulbasaur, and If I level too high and don't have scyther I can't catch it because now my poke and too OP for it. I don't want to be perfect about how to win a battle, I just want water gun to do a decent amount of damage against a rock/ground type, whether I'm a couple levels back or not. I miss that. Seems less fun and a lot more work. HOWEVER, the towns are really well built I think, you can for sure see the potential in the game. Whether the difficulty stays, or dims back down to normal, I'll probably keep playing because I like it that much. Also, Juice is a really cool guy. Communicates well and takes criticism seriously and tries hard to put this all together. The Halloween mystery gift was freaking cool, and I'm so excited for the Holiday update coming in the next month. Basically, its a great game so far, especially if you like the nostalgia of it. But it IS difficult. It's not a beginner game to start on. If you want that, go back to the emulators.
