    Gotta be honest... just joined the discord and am pretty put off by the toxic nature of the community there. If you simply ask why the homepage is in Spanish because you weren't aware this game was made in Mx, you will get dogpiled on by everyone in the server calling you an idiot and then banned by the admin. Overly defensive and aggressive community. Sorry but avoid this one. @Elena✩ honestly whoever you are getting to moderate your servers needs to be looked into.

    Hey there! I'm sorry you think of our community that way, but this is simply not true. You probably misread the page and didn't notice everything's also written in English, and people lightheartedly called you out for this. There was no aggressive nor toxic comments whatsoever, you really just made a big fuss out of it :/
     
    That's weird, the graphics are looking really good, but the game itself is actualy pretty bad, lol.
     
    Kinda questionable balancing choices with regards to evolution progression with bosses immune to both status and percentage damage
    even worse without save points before boss battles
    the game looks pretty though

    Kinda doubt both sides here tbh. With discord stuff its always possible either side is lying.
     
    A warning for anyone wanting to play on joiplay it ain't gonna work or maybe I'm just very unlucky. I did everything right downloading this game and it worked the first time around but when I closed the game and tried to reopen it the game kicked me out every time I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked good looking game tho for the brief viewing I got of it.
     
    I have a problem of joining the discord server, it just not letting me in ("Unable to accept invite"). Can you update the discord link by any chance? Would be appreciate if you did.

    Nevermind it. I tried it on my phone and it works.
     
    Dying to *spoiler* because of their huge health bar and 1 shot attack and having to go through the dungeon again. Trying to lower their stats next run.
    Edit: Swampert + shellos drool = gg
    also mud slap doesn't lower accuracy so shellos drool is probably the only thing that lowers stats

    Just finished all game modes except infinite and dungeon and I'm truly blown away. The custom sprites are incredible and there are even animated cutscenes, I've never seen that before in a fangame! All the characters are beautifully done, and the roguelite gameplay is absolutely genius. I personally despise level grinding and breeding for EVs/moves/natures/abilities so the heart scale system was very much appreciated. And the sprites of the later gen mons look very good, plus the animations! I liked the battle items too, even though I never figured out how to use the extracts lol, I just ended up discarding them. (I also never figured out how to access the box until beating story mode, so I could just be dumb)

    But all that pales in comparison to the real high point of this game: the story. The main story mode is fairly straightforward, but I enjoyed how we get to see the characters grow over a relatively short timeframe. Lucius is an excellent balance of flawed and just charming enough to not be overly obnoxious, Anthony plays the straight man well without becoming a killjoy, and Phione is a gem. But the real breakout is probably Athan. He only showed up very briefly in the main plot but his presence is everywhere and he very much lives up to the hype, imo. I got the 'good' ending and looked up the 'bad' ending on youtube (I hate repeating bossfights and I already had to retry the last battle like 4 times lol); very well done! A solid resolution. The island Guardians were decent side characters who didn't overstay their welcome, and the other chars like the 'doctor', lawyer and miner(?) were distinct personality wise and played their roles well. My favourites are still Athan and Phione, though. The latter is an excellent counterweight to the Anthony and Lucius with her own distinct quirks and the former, as I mentioned, just oozed charisma. He made a huge impact with limited screentime.

    The Johto DLC was a nice sequel that showed us how the main party grew after their adventure and the impact of the ending. I admit I don't like the three Beasts very much (they felt more one-note than the Guardians, but it makes sense since we don't spend time helping them the same way as the legendary birds). Fuuo is a nice contrast to Lucius, love his rainbow accent colours! Nothing much to say here except that the Tower story is a decent add-on.

    The extra chapter is a prequel that I enjoyed a lot. Having all Pokemon be legendaries and pseudos is again a brilliant gameplay choice; the fun of having a full team of legends against other full teams of legends is something else lol. Not to mention that, being a non-collector in the main games, this was the first time I actually 'caught' and battled with a lot of the legendaries! So there's an additional fun factor there for me. I was extremely happy to play as Athan too, after the main story ending it was just what I needed. Kyle is a very fun sidekick, his personality really shines through even in the first 10 seconds of his appearance lol. Seeing the growing relationship between them and knowing the future definitely gave me some emotions. And that ending! Knowing the broad strokes is different from actually seeing how things played out. I absolutely spent a few moments taking it all in at the end. And not just because the boss fight gave me a LOT of trouble, ended up having to rely on RNG confusion damage and praying for a favourable type for the boss. I'm not exactly a Pokemon expert, so probably I had a subpar team, but boy was that fight a challenge. Thank goodness for the retry feature lol, I probably would have quit if I had to repeat the whole dungeon XD The story was pretty good imo, though I admit I'm biased since Athan is my fave (you really knew what you were doing when you made him OP, props to you lmao. That is one stunning sprite!)

    Now, the Simulation mode. Honestly it probably deserves its own post, and I probably will go into more detail later with spoilers, but wow. I really, really enjoyed the story here. Again, probably a little biased because I loved the Kyle+Athan duo, but I absolutely did not expect Day 13. Took me completely by surprise and was definitely a major hook. I stayed up way too late to complete this mode lol. There were so many great character interactions I really will need a seperate post to mention them all, but the standouts were of course Kyle and Athan (and Mahina, definitely like her a lot more now). I don't know how canon the Anthony/Bernadette stories in the book are, but those were pretty cute. Funniest is def the Bernadette+Athan one though lmao. Also the purple girl's interactions with Kyle are cool too. I have to say I really appreciated how easy it was to catch specific mons and buy specific battle items here for the boss fight. Also the NPC helper was MVP here, I literally built a whole team to support her after failing twice to DPS the fight myself because she hits like a train. Mine struggled to clear one boss bar (again I'm not an expert at Pokemon) and she singlehandedly destroyed all of them, truly the GOAT. I have to thank you, OP, for not making the final boss after a dungeon because having to crawl through the whole thing after a loss would have made me rage tbh.

    The ending in Sim mode basically teased more DLCs (I definitely did not expect the lore drop about Fuuo and the 'doctor') but I think there aren't any more at the moment? No pressure, OP, but I just wanted to let you know you definitely have at least one player eager for it. I'm glad you made each mode's ending fairly complete, story-wise btw, that was really nice. Currently playing through dungeon mode, but I'm a narrative gamer at heart so I much prefer the other modes tbh. Still, pretty solid so far! I actually have no complaints except a fairly minor one: sometimes the text reverts to Spanish (I play in English). It's happened only maybe 6 times over all the game modes, and like half are only from specific battle interactions like using Defog and I think triggering Innards Out, but in Dungeon there have already been two whole dialogue boxes in Spanish after the third dungeon. I can pretty much deduce the gist from context so it's not really a dealbreaker, plus Dungeon mode isn't exactly story heavy so it works out, but I thought I'd mention it.

    Whew, this ended up super long lol. I haven't completed many fangames (or main games actually, in fact I never beat the Elite Four in any main game, and only like twice in fangames) but this one is definitely my favourite. I'm off to download Realidea now, but I'd absolutely love to continue Reminiscence's story in future DLCs!

    TLDR; Great story with memorable characters, Amazing custom character sprites, well-balanced roguelike gameplay, minimal grinding.
