Honestly that most Pokémon games in the eary game.Would this make a good first Pokemon game?
It looks charming and I'm ok with simplicity in general...but I hopped around a stream of the first couple hours and nearly every single battle was won by just picking a single move and it was over. That easiness combined with the simplistic story may be a struggle for me, unless there's more than meets the eye.
I'm nearing the mid game and it's honestly fairly challenging for me as I'm not catching a ton ofmultiples of Pokémon like they expect you to. I'm about evenly matched with other trainers and I'm having to strategize to make itnout of battles with losing some of my team.
