I have to complain a bit about that Dark Ditto. The fact that it can copy the protagonist means the world recognizes the protagonist as a humanoid Pokémon. Its ability to copy is a key feature. To counter Ditto, this feature can be switched at any time, while Ditto can't change its ability; it has to be reset to copy. The world's acceptance of this means the system was created by Arceus.
I'm hoping that Latina and Mew will collaborate to have a child, and then Mew will say to the protagonist, "This is what you wanted, our child." (Analysis: Team Rocket's goal → creating Mewtwo → Mew's genes → Mew's child)
It looks pretty good. The four-skill limitation can be used in major competitions. If all skills are used in the competition, it will be too pure and lack any skill. Don't say that the four-skill limitation only exists in the game; it's also present in the animation. Otherwise, the opponent might have a Sleep Potion, while we have a Trouble Seed.
The writing is decent, and the content is good, but the Pokémon theme might deter many readers, as most don't watch the anime. My suggestion is to add a few Pokémon images to each chapter; this would at least keep readers engaged for a while. Without images, the text alone is quite uninspiring.
It's good, but the four-skill limitation makes it hard to maintain; it feels like putting gold inlaid with shit. Also, are they really going to give the Great Healer a stat boost? It's not the protagonist's own Pokémon, after all. I haven't seen if they've given it a boost yet. If they have, it'll have an extra ability, which seems like a waste to give something to a Pokémon that isn't its own. That's all for now, but the book is definitely excellent. Good luck, author!
Leaving aside Samurai's occasional thoughts, the times he secretly did various things behind his master's back, impersonating Team Rocket, controlling his master to go out and cause trouble every day, and repeatedly controlling his master to forcibly hypnotize and act on his own, were quite impactful. However, I've already finished reading it. It seems like there's no female lead so far.
It's pretty good. I really like the main character's character development. One issue I noticed is that the overall environmental descriptions aren't very clear. For example, the main character's training ground—perhaps the initial description of its dilapidated state was too exaggerated, so I kept assuming it was in some very remote suburb, but later that didn't seem quite right, which gave me a…
This is a rather novel Pokémon game. It uses real-world settings while incorporating the Pokémon universe, and even features more advanced technology. The main character's design is also particularly interesting. However, there doesn't seem to be much combat in the early stages.
The writing is pretty good, but the "Red Eyes" part isn't quite up to par. The protagonist of Apocalypse is very well-developed and fully adapts to the abilities the system gives him. However, the system utilizes the protagonist's abilities less later on; it just gives him in-game items that can't be copied, and that's it.
It's alright, the toxicity is moderate, but the subject matter is novel, I'll keep watching.
