I really love this so far. I've got a few suggestions and a few bizarre interactions, not exactly bugs, but definitely problems.
First, I think it'd be great if there was some way to swap Pokemon between trainers, whether that would be a PC or some other system. I find that some of my strongest Pokemon appear across my trainers rather than on one in particular, so it'd be great to be able to consolidate the best ones on the Gym Leader and work your way down, similar to how a normal gym works. It would also help because most of my teams have a clear weak link that ends up being underleveled, and it would be great to move those around to get them in the best team to get leveled up. Another bonus would be that you can retire Pokemon without just releasing them. My Farfetch'd consistently fall behind in level but it feels awful to just throw them out because they've been here since the beginning.
Secondly, an item or something for friendship evolutions would be great. I'm on day 40, so maybe I haven't encounterd something yet, or maybe I just need to run around town for ten minutes like other games, but it's kind of hard to tell. Honestly friendship evos are kind of awful to begin with.
Third, some kind of documentation would be great. I'm fairly sure that move sets have been altered to some degree, and it would be nice to have a list of Pokemon and move learn levels to make better decisions on buying TM's and such. If I'm wrong and there are no changes, maybe you could just add a note somewhere letting people know which games specifically the move sets are based on.
Fourth, please consider either adding more Pokemon to the Juggler's pool, or lowering the encounter rate. I feel like I get at least one every couple of days and aside from a single Shelgon, it's an entire party of Voltorb and Electrode. It went from a funny encounter the first few times, to kind of mind numbing after the 20 or 30 I've seen already. For additions, there are a number of carnival or even circus style Pokemon. Those that come to mind are Mime Jr and Mr Mime, the Machop line to simulate strongmen, and perhaps some circus animals like lions (Pyroar line) and elephants (Donphan line). Of course it's all up to you, I just feel like I spend a lot of time fighting ridiculously fast orbs.
Finally, I experienced a few weird things. First, and it may be intentional, but Whimsicott has Gust in it's Move Relearner pool yet it can't learn it through TM. Second, the AI seems to have trouble understanding Storm Drain and Water Absorb. I had a battle on a level 4 AI, my Mantyke with Water Absorb, and an enemy Shellos with Storm Drain. For some reason, my Mantyke just wouldn't switch to Wing Attack until it dumped all of it's Water Pulse PP into the Shellos, and the Shellos kept swapping from Tackle or whatever damaging move it had to Water Gun, healing my Mantyke. I also had another encounter with two equally leveled Ledians with the same moveset, they traded 1 damage moves and used Rest to heal until both were out of PP, and the moment I though they'd start using Struggle, my trained decided to switch out. It was very bizarre to me that some trainers swap out in much more favorable circumstances, yet these two ran through 90 PP worth of moves before swapping out when they could finally do some real damage. I've also noticed that some of trainers swap at awful times. For instance my Swellow is faster than the opponent and gets hit with Rock Slide, the next turn it 100% of the time will out speed and get the KO with the same move it just used, but instead of doing that, my trainer switches into another flying type to take the Rock Slide, that Pokemon isn't strong enough to get the KO, it faints, and then we send out Scyther. It seems to be trying to tank the other Pokemon for the safe switch into Scyther, but it never needed to do that to begin with.
This game is really great though. I always appreciate new spins on Pokemon, and this is definitely tied for my favorite along with that Slay The Spire style game. It seems really well put together and has great replay value, especially for something in it's first Beta.
