Adorable art, a perfect balance between its own cozy aesthetic and the Gen 1/2 games.
Fun concept as well, although I'd have liked a little more player agency. The actions a player does don't feel like they allow for strategy or optimization (though perhaps I just missed that part?). This caused me to lose interest in the gameplay somewhat quickly.
Some ramping in difficulty would have been nice. On my first run, I was lucky enough to start with just 1 or 2 Pokeballs. On my second run, the game immediately dumped 6 Pokeballs on the counter, which resulted in a game over. I can imagine that could be a frustrating first-time user experience.
Very cute game nonetheless! The visuals really steal the show!
