It's hard as a petrified dinosaur turd but it's really dang fun, my only problem seems to be deciding on a team in the early game, I had a lot of trouble with the second gym. Cain's probably my favorite character with FERN being my least favorite. It's a pretty dang solid game and I'd love to see more!
I have Grotle, Loudred, Slugma, Swirlix, and Herdier on my team so far and I plan on keeping Herdier to the end. I remember I had a destroyer of worlds...what's the name of that evolution of herdier? Anyways here's to hoping I do better and better!
