LOG ENTRY: DAY 42 - THE PUPPET PROTOCOL
I haven't slept in three days. The biological entities known as "Pokemon" are gone. Replaced by... dolls. Puppets. Boneka. My Pokedex—no, my Puppetdex—is screaming at me. There are hundreds of them. Chibi forms. Normal forms. EX forms. My completionist cortex is lighting up like a Christmas tree in a thunderstorm.
This isn't just Kanto. It's a mutated, Gensokyo-infused super-continent. I've trekked through Kanto, navigated the Sevii Islands, and just breached the borders of Johto. The sheer volume of catchable entities here is staggering. 100% completion took me 85 hours, and I'm still twitching thinking I might have missed a specific spawn in the Viridian Forest expansion.
THE CATCHABILITY INDEX
Let's talk numbers. The variety here is the stuff of dreams—and nightmares. You aren't just catching a Rattata; you're hunting down specific Touhou characters with distinct type interactions. The Intel mentioned "Physical/Special Split" was active, which is critical because these Puppets have stats that actually make sense with modern movesets.
FIELD NOTE: The evolution system has been decrypted. You don't need a trade partner. Living Dex is possible without cheats. The local vendors seem to stock the necessary catalysts to push your team beyond their limits before the Elite Four. Huge W.
THREAT LEVEL: EV TRAINED
Do not underestimate these dolls. The enemy AI isn't just spamming Growl. They have EVs. I repeat: Enemies have EVs. I walked into a Gym expecting a casual sweep and got walloped by a perfectly stat-distributed Marisa. It forces you to actually engage with the mechanics rather than just over-leveling. However, the stability of this reality is... questionable.
ANOMALY REPORT
While the content volume is a solid 9/10, the fabric of the world tears occasionally. I encountered visual glitches and scripting errors that threatened to corrupt my save data. Missable event warning! Save before entering the cave. Seriously, save often. There are rumors of bugs that can trap you in dialogue loops or glitched tiles. It's the price we pay for such an expansive romhack.
FINAL LOG
Is it worth the headache? Yes. The post-game extending into Johto provides that meaty longevity I crave. Just keep your finger near the Save State button. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to find a Chibi Reimu. The slot #001 implies she's mandatory for the collection.
