I just downloaded the game and it looks pretty good. I have one question and one thing I noticed.
Do you get in trouble for catching other trainers pokemon?
As I just started I knew by reading your first post that my rival's pokemon was going to be stronger then normal, so I was expecting it but why are the wild pokemon at the same lv my rivals pokemon is? I start at lv 5 and his is lv 7. Yet the wild pokemon are lv 7.
I manged to catch one on route 1, which I was happy about but when I sent the lv 7 out, the wild is lv 8. The reason Im tellling you this is that I didnt read that the wild pokemon would be harder, just your rivals pokemon.
Edit: Actually I just realized something else. When I caught my lv 7 it was a Rattata but it was dark and normal, was that suppose to be the Alolan form?
I looked in the editer that comes with the game and is says in there that the highest lv I should see in route 1 is 5? Is this how the game is going to be, everyone is going to e higher then me no matter what I do? I didnt chose random pokemon. I chose Charmander as my starter and lost to my rival. I found the potion and exp share before getting my starter.
Is this how the game is going to be? Everyone is just higher then me? Also are the hp bars that I see in the start of the battle suppose to not be shown through out the battle?
