It is honestly a very neat monster battler, especially with the 1-bit aesthetic, but this honestly really needs some audio, it is deafeningly quiet. I do want to give props for resolving the zubat problem that caves have, absolutely HATED burning through repels to get through those in EVERY generation.

Other than that, some additional changes I'd want added are:
- A way to recover HP passively
Potions are rare, and some enemies hit extremely hard. HOWEVER, I want to deviate from Pokemon and request that it cannot be easily abused. For example, make it take 30 mins irl to fully heal a familiar in the resort may be a good way to balance it.
- Automatically send caught monsters to the resort if the party is full
- Let us pet our familiars!
- Add a settings pane to the menu

This is actually pretty good, especially the animations for sprites and the personality of monsters wasting turns to just goof around (reminds me of undertale kinda) but I have some suggestions. There needs to be both a shop to buy items and a way to more reliably heal your familiars cuz potions are surprisingly rare and monsters tend to hit kinda hard. Also make it so that capturing excess familiars automatically sends them to the Resort so we don't have to take extra time to run from battle, go to the resort, drop off a familiar, then go back and attempt to capture the familiar until it works. Those are just a few suggestions :)

there is no way to rest familiars, this is actually a really bad mechanic...
make it so they slowly regain life on the resort so it avoids abuse, but gives a fair recover

It's very impressive! It works well, pretty addicting. I could see there being some improvements with progression but I liked it

Fun lil Mon tamer :)
Takes some relearning each time you come back to it but that's my only complaint
