Post Thoughts
Theme of Surprise was quite difficult to achieve. I think the entire game's story encapsulates a surprise, from the way the characters interact with each other, and the little details sprinkled into the world. For what was made within the timeframe, I've enjoyed the entire process. Please enjoy the game, and have fun with what is there. There is no end credits, so run around to your hearts content. :)
Made in Pokémon Essentials v21.1 using RPG Maker XP Time Created: Started a few days into the Game Jam and continued until its end.

Hi, Zephyrias!
I finished your game and want to give you some feedback. 😄
General thought: Pretty cute so far.
Positives:
-Sableye is a banger Pokemon so I like having it as a Starter.
-The interactions between the protagonist and the NPCs feel very realistic (well written)
-Great humor
-A ton of cute little easter eggs were scattered around
Negatives:
-The OW encounters cluttered the route a bit too much and created road blocks. Maybe lower the amount of encounters.
-Sableye's moveset struggles against Normal-types
There isn't a ton to experience right now, but the foundation is there and if you continue like that the game will be great for sure!
Congrats on submitting something within the deadline! 🎉
