These little changes make this feel like a new but still familiar experience. Pokemon that were bad may actually be good and some are still meh. The little changes done to the game go a very long way. Once I got on route 1, I experienced something I haven't felt in a long while: I was playing a Pokemon game. Most intros are 10 minutes while Clockwork's is basically like 2. There's more to it than that, but it feels so cut down compared to the dragged out starts of most of the recent fan-games. You get a Pokemon and you're off on the start of your journey.
So one thing that this game does that I really like is the fact that the story doesn't overstay its welcome. The best way to describe it is that my nostalgia vibes are kicking in and I'm loving it.
So basically I'll talk about my thoughts on getting to the first town. Where do I even start? I guess I should say that I know have gone 2 hours into the game and am finally getting pretty close to the first gym badge. My computer really doesn't want me to listen to the soundtrack of the game. Anyways, I was doing a livestream so here are my thoughts starting with the long essay of rants: Not sure which thread to post this in but I suppose the newest one is the better one to choose from.
