So, I just finished V9, it was kind of a cool story so far, but a major cliffhanger after announcing all the protagonists are going to be a part of the tourney is kind of disappointing. I'd honestly say lower the shiny odds a bit, I've found a lot of shinies tbh. Few bugs here and there, such as Blacksteeple Castle messing with the character sprite, some typos, etc. Also, in the past, why does Madame X care if we die? I mean I understand why Konan or whatever his name is is saved by Madame X, he's probably one of the 4 of the Dark Prophecy. Madame X should probably be replaced by Crescent in that one part. It's also a little disappointing how Nim/Lorna has no relation to the story as of V9.
Now, a talk about the Gym Leaders and Level Cap. The Level Cap is extremely annoying, especially when your only flying type is a Swoobat to combat Crowli. And then you can't even overlevel to combat it ;-; And then it's annoying as hell when the Gym Leaders on Normal Mode have levels equal to level cap, with their weaknesses being restricted by the terrain, like the stupid Psychic terrain blocking all Dark-type moves. At least raise the level cap like 5 levels :/
