Better mechanically than any Pokemon game I've played. Fulfills my desire to play a monster hunter game where I can do more than just kill the monsters, since I really like all of their designs.
Curioso cuanto menos
Pokemon con dragones, aunque ya había dragones en pokemon pero estos no te miran con cara de uwu.
My main issue with this game is the combat. There's clearly more to it than what is shown the surface but the game never really bothers to explain those aspects. For most of the game, it felt like the game only had normal type mons with very few other elemented monster, something that other monster-catching games also face. Also feels more grindy than your average RPG, and that's coming from someone who unintentionally beat the game under-levelled. Most quests are also repetitive.
I think anything I could say on this game would have some bias because I've been obsessed with it since 2018, but it's a well-constructed monster collector with cute art, surprisingly fun writing and characters, and 100 whole Poogies. Unparalleled.
Didn't quite finish it, but I spent like 50 hours in it back in the day, so that counts for something. Art style is super cute, and I'll probably pick up the remaster, or play the sequel.
