BUT I DID THAT BUT I DONT SEE MY SAVE FILE SO I HAVE TO START ALL OVER IN THE 1.0.1
How balanced is this Fakedex? Is there any broken earlygame mons with broken play styles that is recommended?Hey just wanted to say this is one of my favorite fan games and I don't think it gets nearly enough love. I think a lot of people might get turned off by the plot and general variance among sprite quality of fakemons (some are amazing, some are kindergarten drawings), but for those who stick it out there's a lot of fantastic stuff here. There's some really great designs both visually and mechnically (I absolutely love that rock/psychic type that goes crazy with weakness policy/trick room) and a lot of pretty great/unique challenges in the post game. I also love having 4 teams of mons to manage, it really helps to mitigate that feeling of team stagnation you normally get when playing the official games.
Basically just wanted to drop in and say thank you for making this and endorse it for anyone who hasn't given it a try yet. Definitely worth a playthrough, especially now that free play allows you to skip some of the plot stuff is that isn't your thing (it isn't mine).
As far as extremely broken stuff right off the bat I haven't really found anything I can think of; unlocking more items and TMs are largely gated around picking up different colored shards around the map so I don't think I really got any true team-wide strategies until the late game in my last playthrough. That being said, the psychic/rock type I mentioned is available right away by going right out of the starter town and into the cave. In that same cave there's also a fighting/flying type with intimidate, fake out, and if I recall correctly can later learn u-turn. In the midgame you can get a grass/poison type called mulbor (really cool sprite, too) with absurdly high defenses and hp with a crazy stall kit and the corrosion ability. A lot of the fun in the game for me was finding broken mons like that and seeing how far I could push them, so I don't want to spoil any more of them. There's also quite a bit of legitimately challenging content in the endgame/post-game that requires a lot of strategizing and team building.How balanced is this Fakedex?
