I beat it all the way through on the website version, bought the steam version to support more of this game. This review will make some of my friends eyebrow raise maybe but, I'm past my 20s, I don't care. lol So, I haven't played the non-patched version. I can't imagine this game without the 18+ stuff. All it'd be is a cheap pokemon knockoff, if we're being honest. The region is much smaller, the battle system is extremely simplified, there's only a few gyms, cities, you can only take 3 partners with you at a time so the battles are far shorter. Basically, the battles are not meant to have a lot of depth. They're meant to be quick. Why? So you can get the reward faster. The real motivation of the game is it's extremely naughty gimmick. I mean, maybe I, once or twice when I was younger, had some fantasies about the victory reward for beating other trainers being a bit on the naughty side. Maybe. I even wrote a concept for a visual novel with this idea in mind, and there's even some art of this idea on my patreon. So, to have a game go for it and REALLY commit.. Well, let's just say for me, it was exceptionally, extremely satisfying. Satisfying to find a new girl, and know, that if I beat her... Well. This game kinda brings out that naughtier, darker side of you that just has primal.. forbidden urges in your sick fantasy addled brain. To be clear, that's what this game feeds into. "Fantasies". It goes without saying, but consensual non-con situations like this game provides would be horrifying in a realistic setting. But this game isn't realistic. Like all japanese hentai media, they make fantasies about the taboo because once it stops being real, it's.. hot! And yeah, wow. The art style in this, the character designs, the scenes themselves, even the main character's ugly little bastard trope... So much kink variety. If you play this game, enjoy it, then you know what I mean. That aside, what else is there to say about this game? Well, the story is... actually pretty damn good. Like, don't get me wrong, I don't want Pokemon to suddenly became ultra mature or lose it's demographic of kids or anything(albeit, let's face it, their audience are the ones that grew up playing the game, not zoomers these days(No offense zoomers! <3). Yet, I miss the days when Pokemon had more interesting plots. Like, the villains were actually bad guys, your rival was an a-hole. That kind of thing. This one brings that kind of tone back, and without the 18+ stuff going on, I'm sure it still delivers on it. The story is mainly about a young trainer, a boy who isn't very popular, that can't seem to use a special device that would let him catch a Yarimon like every one else can. Yet, in his basement, he finds a unique Yairmon that can talk to him, and becomes his only friend. He tries to battle with it against his rival neighbor, a cute but somewhat mean gal. Losing 99 times and giving up 1000 bucks each time, she wants one more match to make it an even 100 wins for herself, but something happens with his Yarimon! It develops a move called Cheat Tackle, and upon using it, immediately defeats her Yarimon. In a strange twist(patch version at least), when a female trainer loses, they offer one hour of naughty interaction as a reward, as if it were obvious and normal. Everyone around who may witness it, doesn't react or find it strange in the slightest. So, suddenly, you have a very fun and engaging incentive to find as many cute female trainers as possible, and cheat your way into their... good side. There's a huge variety of girls(Over 60) in this game, the scenes are very unique in their poses and ideas, and the girl's personalities, but there's a few caveats for those who aren't so into the taboo stuff. Mainly, the main protagonist is not an adult, and if it wasn't obvious by the trailer, a lot of the trainers aren't either(That's why it needs an 18+ patch). This could be a deal breaker for a lot of people and I wouldn't blame them in the slightest. I won't justify anything here, I'll just say that I believe the author of the game and many amazing japanese artists understand the difference between fantasy and reality(Look at any high school fan service anime lol). So if it's not your thing, stay far away. So, all in all, the gameplay is pretty mid as a pokemon clone, but the NSFW incentive and the darker story are both great reason to enjoy the game. Each scene is animated in a unique and fun way, where there's like 3-4 frames looping to give the illusion of movement, but it's satisfying and way better than still images. The body and 'assets' clearly move like they should and react to the uhm, 'pounding', and uhh, yeah there's a LOT of extra optional scenes to enjoy for each girl too. For me, best h-game I've ever played, hands down. I hope for more, cause I love the art style of the artist behind it. Support it! Give it a shot if you're into this kind of thing. ;) Also, the rival is flippin adorable and many of the characters genuinely like the main protagonist, and it has that wholesome but not wholesome harem feel to it haha. (I'll leave comments on, be nice or I'll turn em off!)
