My favourite part was when the game's developer, Grace Bruxner, appeared to tell me that the frog detective was spreading misinformation about literature.

At some point, one has to stop.

Riding a scooter means you can solve crimes fast :-)

Every moment of this game feels so good, it's funny, well-designed, and satisfying, but most importantly, Swomp is my little baby man 🥰

I love this game but I never realised until this replay just how endlessly filled with cutscenes it is. Not my favourite one to replay, but I stay stanning Maester Seymour.

Incredibly addictive, iconic, and I can be the reaper. Good.

This is such a fun, refreshing and addictive new addition to the Pokémon canon. Despite some jank in graphical glitches, some gameplay elements that feel a little too catered to young children, and some character designs I wasn't too fond of, I really loved this. I love running around in the wilderness with my little creatures, I love wearing a three piece suit (cool), and I love the way the game makes it rewarding to keep battling and catching the same Pokémon as you make your way across the land. Also having a smart phone in feudal Japan is funny. Thank you.

A really interesting little exercise in satire, and quite nicely done in terms of commentary on the games industry landscape and how it's changed in the past 30 odd years from both corporate, consumer, and developer perspectives.

The design is quite nice as well, it uses uses some existing screens from the first set of Pokémon games in a slightly more inventive way than most standard rom hacks. A little bit of thought goes a long way there.

The tomes that tell you some background on Tajiri's history are quite beautifully presented too. Cute, real, and a bit sad :'-)

Ok I did love this game a lot, but MJ and Peter are prime losers and those mini-games... phew

I like when the evil baby becomes a muscly hunk. Powerful game.

As a kid I obsessed over this game, but only had the demo. That snippet was enough to captivate me for YEARS. I loved the humour, the inventive characters, design, and quests, and the jaunty music that went along with it. The evil pig bags are always on my mind.

It's great and I hate it so much.
