Scratch is a realtively good attack that forces enemies to move back but you have to be extremely precise to hit them and(since it's a melee attack) if you miss you will take damage almost 100% sure. I actually find that really interesting and challenging, especially at the beggining when you are getting used to the fighting mechanics.
You do have some potions and berries but if you can't beat the game with that well.you basically lost and have to restart the game. Nurse Joy is one of the survivors but due to the low amount of supplies she can only restore Quilava's health 5 times in the entire game. You can heal your pokemon a limited amount of times so you need to be extremely careful and thrifty.
Instead of having the classic pokemon combat, Pokemon Dusk opts for an action game. Here is just you and a monster desesperated to kill you. You catch pokemon, train them, fight turn based battles, pokemon centers and shops, towns and.what? Oh, forget about all that. You can't do that! *snif Gameplay Pokemon, that classic Role playing game. No.NO!.You just don't use "Not Tomorrow" in a pokemon Game. It's not a master piece or anything but It just does things in a right way. It's a great and memorable story mixed in a pokemon world which makes it feel way more unique than it actually is. And even with that, there are things that were not detailed yet and leaves it open for a sequel. It really leaves it open to make a sequel because the pokemon setting can afford that. And since pokemon has such a big world it makes wonder what's happening in other parts of the world while we are trapped in this city. You are always wondering what's going to happen next and you always want to know some answers. When he's repentant you notice he's genuinely repentant. When a character is angry you can see and feel him angry. You care about the characters because the game gives you reasons to care. They are interested, they have their own personality that differs them from the rest, they have their own story(even if it's very short). Maybe because, unlike many other similar stories, the characters a well developed. The idea of showing survivors in an apocalyptic world isn't anything fresh or new but it's well implemented. In a city like Goldenrod City you can imagine how much potental it has to offer. Never forget that brave zombie bellsprout. Also, he's the main character so it's predictable that he's going to be the one who does everything. Especially because Etahn is the only one who has the pokemon and is the only in condition to fight against the zombies.
Now, he's forced to forget about his dreams, and live in a world where he's constantly fighting to survive. After Ethan is saved by Dave, he passes out and wakes up in a haven. This is the first impact the game has to offer since you have all the old cute and charming pokemon graphics from a game from the previous century and all of a sudden a girl gets shot, the games gets way darker, there's 8 bit blood, and we are talking about death, pain, fear, you know, basic stuff. Luckily, Ethan is saved by a young man called Dave, who shot the zombie with his gun. Then, a zombie girl attacks our Hero with no chance to react(actually he had the chance, he was just stupid). When Ethan gets there he finds out that the pokemon center is closed and the town is uninhabited. You know, that city in the original game that had the radio tower, the train station, the giant mall, and had fucking whitney with her fucking miltank. It's pretty much the story of the original Pokemon games, Pokemon Gold/Silver until Ethan gets to Goldenrod City. The main character of this story is Ethan, a pokemon trainer travelling all over Johto in order to beat all the gyms and become a Pokemon Master. Before reading you must know that I'm not a native english speaker so I apologise for any possible mistake you might find.
Pokemon Dusk is a great game, with a really fun gameplay, great storyline with quite memorable characters, fantastic music, it just does it all great. And I think I found the second excepetion. The only exception being the one of the title of this review. Movies, games, doesn't matter, I find a boring and repetitive genre that has been seen a hell of times and has nothing new to offer. I've never felt attracted by the zombie genre.
