Politics Rather than trying to choose sides, we find it is much more fun to bash everything political.
Author Comments
This game was inspired by an animated gif that was floating around the net a few months ago right after the Democratic primary.
A decent knowledge of politics is recommended to get all the jokes and satire, but hopefully most people will still find the game amusing even if you're not into politics much.
Also for those who get offended, play through the whole game and you'll see I pretty much poke fun at everyone so relax!
Finally, if you dig this game check out my major project SocioTown (www.sociotown.com). It's a web-based 3D social MMO.
Enjoy the game!

Good, but not without flaw.
It's wonderful in theory, the humor and satire are both good, and you're right...you do poke fun at everyone. So there's no real bias present anywhere. It looks good for what it is and everything is animated decently.
But like I said, it isn't without flaw.
-First of all, from what I saw, fundraisers are far too scarce. This sort of thing is important in this type of game. Especially considering in the actual Pokemon games, you can at least save whenever you want.
-Next, the music in battle doesn't loop. It plays once then stops and begins clicking. I don't know if this was the same on the walking map because of another flaw.
-Battles are far too frequent. It felt like I couldn't walk more than 3 steps without being thrown into another fight. In actual RPGs, this isn't as frequent. The constant battles drain you rather fast and make the game rather difficult. Though you could excuse this by saying political races like this are just as ruthless.
-The most glaring issue I had was one fight in particular. I came across a Conservative Blowhard, and he would not die. He had a move that could heal him entirely, and none of my attacks did any substantial amount of damage. By the time I was lowering his health to the red zone the fourth time, I had no PPs left to attack him with, and I lost. It was long and irritating and I more or less couldn't win.
Overall, it's a great game in theory, but from what I saw, it could use some fine-tuning.

Fantastic Pokemon parody
And a great representation of American politics as well.
The game play was a great approximation of the Pokemon formula, with different moves being effective against other Polimon. The graphics were also very nice and simple, which echoed the old Pokemon games as well.
My only real concern is that some Polimon use self-delusion too often and become nigh invulnerable. A friend of mine is playing and can't beat a conservative blowhard because he's used up all his moves and the blowhard keeps healing back to full health. I didn't have this problem too often, but he's dead in the water.
Regardless, it's a great parody and I look forward to seeing what other kinds of politics you can skewer soon!
Thanks for the feedback.
I agree with you (and others) that I need to fine-tune the "Self-Delusion" so it's a little less frequent. Though one way to keep them from self-deluding themselves is to confuse or put them to sleep when they get low on health. :)
Thanks everyone for the great feedback so far!
