Gameplay
The format for this game has you progress through multiple maps in a sort of dungeon with mini-bosses and map bosses, collecting Pokedollars from defeated Pokemon to purchase healing/status items. Starters and encounters are randomly generated from balanced pools, and rather than catching Pokemon, you are given multiple choices similar to starter selection throughout each playthrough. This game is meant to be challenging, with a limited number of healing items, no healing spots, and an optional, but default, perma-death (your save is deleted if you black out).
