One problem I saw with this story was the fact that Victoria left you hung out to dry. She's there as one of your three major rivals (Cain and Fern the other two) and she is a genuine person I would want to be around IRL because of how caring, loving, and friendly she is - stopping you from hurting yourself and being there for you. She balances out Cain's sexual inneuendo and Fern's real asshole attitude (seriously, he's like Silver on a level).
Second problem I have with this game is a lack of cheerful moments. I know this game is supposed to be dark and whatnot, but after Victoria was ripped away from the story, I found the story depressing with all the harrowing events - i.e - Corey suicide (and Shelly watching Corey fall with a splat), Cal burning Shelly, Eclipse getting her soul drained, Kiki getting thrown in lava, etc.
Problems aside, love this fricking game aside from the atmosphere. A reserve team serves you so damn well. Trained up a Hariyama for that motherf-ing Cradily of Florina's and wrecked it second try.You also gotta think outside the box to win many battles, like teaching my tanky Noivern Rain Dance to defeat Charlotte and override her Ninetales' Drought.
Wish the updates would come a little quicker, but I understand that Ame and everyone has a job and they gotta work for a living. Also as a message to Ame: bring back Lucario, freakin hung me out to dry when that happened in ep 11.
Happy trails.
