So, I'm gonna say something about LOTA that might be extremely inaccurate. The begining of the game could use some work. The first battle with Max to be specific. Remember my main complaint about Desolation and how Connor used to have about a solid 1 counter there? Well, LOTA lets you start with an eeveelution depending on your playstyle. I got Leafeon. What do I have to face? a Grimer with Sludge and a Pineco. See where I'm going here? All I can do is spam Sand Attack hoping grimer misses enough time for me to get at least 4 to 6 sand attacks off to even stand a chance. This is not exactly well balanced, is it? This is the kind of "story before balance and playability" stuff that made earlier desolation a "do not play" for me. Am I being harsh on the game so far? Mst likely, but that doesn't take away that it's a valid point of critisism

that doesn't excuse any of it though. If anything give the player something to do other than spamming sand attack and praying to god that hax favors them. Because who doesn't like getting 2koed in the first battle that you MUST WIN. Yeah, if it was a forced loss battle it could have been acceptable. but NOPE. you get no pokéballs, a couple of potions and an eeveelution. but that's all you get. So unless you like grinding up against level 10 to 12 fucking BEEDRIL you will not get past that battle unless the hax gods have blessed you. There's only one thing I can call it really. Bad Game Design. "But Wolfox, you're just salty this happens to you. For all the other starters it's absolutely fine.". That only makes it fucking WORSE. why give one specific starter option such a steep disadvantage? In reborn at least you have options to deal with Julia if you start with a water type that isn't a meme. in this game, you can either Grind till you OHKO everything he can toss at you, you get lucky as all hell with the sand attack hax, or you start over with another starter.
