I love a good magical girl, and this was very cute! Wish a little more was done with the premise.

Very well-written, I really liked the choice in images. They felt very intentional.

I'm really not sure what to think of this one. From a purely technical standpoint, it's really fun seeing pokemon recreated in bitsy, complete with music. The dialogue is often poorly formatted or confusing, but English isn't the dev's first language, so that's excusable.

As for the messaging, I really have no idea what my thoughts are. Politically, I too want a better world freed from the shackles of capitalism. The presentation leaves something to be desired. Some of the worldbuilding is cool, like people and Pokemon trying to learn each other's languages. But jokes about Pokemon being oppressed are as old as the games are, and they're really tired. And I have a lot of problems with the animal rights movement, and I don't know how I feel about some of the animal rights rhetoric here. The last thing you want is to make someone think of those PETA Pokemon games. This isn't quite the same thing as those people who insist on making kid's stuff edgy for the sake of it (Phineas and Ferb are actually dead and Candace is hallucinating everything ooooooo!!!) really get on my nerves and this is a bit too close to that sort of thing. There's so much better stuff to sink your teeth into.

In conclusion, I have no idea. Get back to me later.

Just barely whets your appetite, and then it ends. Leaves you a bit longing.

Trans rights!! This was very sweet. I wish the audio was better in sync to the messages, but I guess that's just authenticity.

I feel like the premise was a little wasted. The villain is barely present so this really isn't about a hero and villain with something weird going on. It's more of just a hero trying to escape a predicament in silly ways. And at that it's... fine.

There's no nice way to say this, but this is something my friends and I would have written in our middle school emo phase. There are also a lot of typos, to the point where it's distracting. I appreciate the effort, but I can't recommend this one.

insuredgecko finished Smorgasbord Earth
It looks cute, but navigating is awkward with the perspective changes and the limits of bitsy, and I wish there was a little more variation in text for the amount of things you can collect.

Really cool unique concept, and absolutely gorgeous art. Not much has been done to disguise the default Ren'py style of text boxes, but this is someone's first project and it's very impressive for that.
