Ooookay...

Anyway. The things I dislike first:

1. You only click and everything is done for you based on calculations. I know that's kind of the whole game, but I think in some areas it might be nice to have just a little bit of strategy come into play. For example, catching pokemon - I just buy a bunch of pokeballs and click-click-click-click-click, then check to see what all I caught and if any are shiny. But I know you have to keep it simple, so... Maybe something like, in order to catch X pokemon, certain requirements have to be met, that involve the other aspects of the game? Or something.

2. I wish it were more interactive with the other players. I know you *can* battle, but that's the only interaction and it isn't even necessary. Maybe battling needs to be required in order to do some missions, or maybe there can be other aspects of the game that are interactive. I felt like it was more interactive when we could attack players and gangs banded together to protect each other and stuff, and that was awesome. Not saying we should bring back attacking players, but maybe something could be brought in to bring that interaction back.

3. There's no Phanpy in the game. :(

4. I'm level 51 already because I can take a few seconds out of every couple hours to click a couple buttons. It wasn't really much of a challenge except for maybe levels 1-9.

5. I feel like I've done everything the game has to offer at this point. I have a bazillion pokemon, I'm in the top ten on stats, I'm stinkin' rich, am going to be able to get the best possible house in just another day or two... I don't really have anything to work towards right now. Especially since people don't seem to like to battle.

Okay, now the things I like:

1. I love that natures, EVs, and things like that have entered into the game - also the things you mentioned you were working on, like the moves. I think this will add some much-needed strategy to the game. (Now if only people would start battling more...)

2. Having goals is cool. So things like having lots of houses to aim for, or trying to unlock all tiers, or even moving up on the Hall of Fame. I like that there are many goals to shoot for instead of just one or two.

3. I like its potential. Does that make sense? Well, there are so many more things that could be implemented because of the nature of the game and its coding. Such as more with gangs, which would increase the interaction... Tournaments - players battle each other tournament style for a prize of a shiny Mew or whatever. The newspaper - some players could be hired (with in-game $ of course) to run it, or maybe players could use it to advertise services (such as, "I will use my energy and will to battle your pokemon for you in order to train it, at the price of one crystal per level!" Would require pokemon transferability of course). Teams - competing towards certain goals for prizes. The game has a lot of potential and I'm excited to see what all unfolds from it.

4. The people that play. I've already become friends with so many from pokefarm, so it is so much fun to play a silly game with everyone. And it's helped me to get to know some people better.

5. It can be addictive without taking up tons of time. This isn't usually something people praise about a game, but I like that I don't have to spend hours on it every day in order to keep up. I don't have that kind of time. It's nice to be able to succeed in a game without wasting a bunch of time I don't have on it.
