Hey, I've been playing the game and I'm having a good time so far.
I do have a bunch of complaints regarding general balance and QoL that seems missing.
The two biggest issues I have are the lack of speed up button and Exp Share.
The speedup button I can get behind by using speedhack, but the lack of Exp Share makes the experience much more agonizing than it should be.
I'm 2 gyms in and I had to wrack my head over how to beat the Absol of that Gym Leader. The only available Fighting type around is Stufful, and it doesn't learn any Fighting moves until very late. Moreover that Absol is lv19 and has access to Swords Dance and priority moves - seems extremely overpowered compared to everything else I have.
The lack of Exp Share makes it difficult to grind levels, especially since I need to do it for every Pokemon individually.
After that, I'm stuck at a mandatory trainer battle in the cave, that all of a sudden has a level 25 Swoobat that destroys my entire team.
I understand that there was a split after gym 1, I took the north path, and I don't know if I had gone east then things would be easier. If that's the case, the game needs some serious rebalancing.
Also, not having access to the PBS folders in a game with Fakemon isn't great - I want to know the stats, abilities etc. of the new mons, and I don't really like going in blind based on appearence only.

Beyond those things, the game is pretty fun and has an interesting story hook and ideas. Interested to know where you'd go with it, and I hope you'll implement some changes regarding what I just mentioned.
Thanks!

I agree with you mate, I think the Ghost route may have been simpler but I agree there aren't great choices of Pokemon to fight the Gyms. Even with a Fire starter the first gym was very tough and the creator doesn't even give Pokeballs to catch mons before battling them. There is one Pokeball and one Great Ball which if you fail to catch anything with, I think you just stop playing the game. Had to keep resetting the game until I could catch a Tailow and land a crit using Focus Energy for first gym's ace, otherwise I wouldn't even defeat him.

I think there are some bad game design choices here, but there are many good ones too, although they get overshadowed by the annoying things.

Hi, first of all thanks for playing the game, hope you had fun playing it. I'll try to cover all of your feedback:

Spoiler: 1.ExpShare

The ExpShare can be obtained much further in the game, to be precise in Valley City, in the most bottom-left house (so Retz & Gerva house) , i wanted to not put it at the beginning to let the player experience all the fakemon at the beginning, when exp raise relatively fast, and also because the game is meant to be an old-style-game.

Spoiler: 2.Absol and Swoobat

Those 2 Pokemon are that strong because they were meant to be some kind of "miniboss", to lead the player to use some strategy to beat theme (as sandattack to reduce accuracy). For Absol can be use VELASKY (fairy type) that can be found in route 1, while for Swoobat, some rock type Pokemon, as Onix or PUREYE (can be found in the cave). However you are right, i've particulary evil with those so in a minute i'll released an upgrade to rebalance some of those things.

Spoiler: 3.Fakemon PBS

I haven't put any PBS for the Fakemon, cause i didn't wanted to ruin the experience to discover new Pokemon, their evolutions and stuff, but yes, i understand that someone would like to spend his time on their own terms, so i'll probrably add something, if not a wiki, the PBS file on the thread page.

Spoiler: 4. Conclusion

1. This is my first game ever, so i'm sorry if some gamedesign might be raw and strange.
2. In a minute i will upload a rebalance update.
3. After beating the third gym the game will be way more easier, and focusing more on the story.
4. Thanks a lot for all this feedback, and for playing the game. I hope you are enjoing enything else and hope the dialogues are all understandable with my writing (and this response as well).

Hi, first thank you for playing the game, in a minute i'm going to release an update to rebalance some of those things and in particular

Spoiler: Lack of Pokeball

I still want the number of pokeball limited (wich it is anyway considering that at the beginning of the game you don't have much money o buy it), but you are actually right, the fact that some pokeball could fail is annoying. I'm going to add a trainer in the Mart that gives some extra pokeball, so the player will have another chance to catch some more Pokemon, after knowing that he cannot buy Pokeballs before the first Gym. I hope this is all understandable (sorry, bad english).

Thank you again for playing the game, and for this feedback as well.

facing this issue when i run the game

I tried to download it again, but everything seems to work just fine. I just reuploaded the file, downloaded it again and it works fine too. Try download it, maybe there was a problem in the first download.

BUG FIX
Version 1.0.2

• Now the game saves the data in the foder "AppData/Roaming/Pokemon Radio Makhia", and it shouldn't interfere anymore with other savefiles.
• If you downloaded and already played versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1, and want to update to 1.0.2, you have to manually create a folder named Pokemon Radio Makhia inside the folder AppData/Roaming, and put there the savefile (Game.rx data) you already have.

After the 3rd gym and the Steelix battle, the trainers in the North Mine are way too powerful. I'm barely hitting 30 for my team and they have a lvl 43+ Crobat team??

Q1; How does Vapit Evolve? Its lvl 33 now and still super weak

EDIT - Oh it looks like the path on the West Side North opened with easier to manage enemies.. I'll try that way.
