Notes so far on the first game:
-Battle backgrounds are lovely! Lots of detail.
-Nexomon designs are pretty nice so far. And there are like 300, so you come across new ones quite often. (I've only gone through one area and town and have all 15ish available.) I've already had a hard time deciding which 'mon to keep in my team, so I'm mostly basing it on what has an evolved form according to the Wiki. I was gonna use this cute clam, but went with the crab instead.
-Character designs are super cute. The NPCs are quite varied and colorful.
-Battles are quick. Nexomon and moves are animated, but it's all quite fast-paced, which is nice.
-You get money from wild Nexomon fights, not just tamer fights. I dig it, especially since I've only fought like 5 people, including a gym leader of sorts.
-There are only 7 types! It's kind of refreshing. Bit more than a typical FF lineup but also way less to keep track of than Pokemon. I've put a type chart below, which shows all but Normal. The types are Fire, Water, Mineral, Plant, Electric, Normal, and Wind. Plant being super effective against Electric is a little weird, but I guess nothing else would really work when it's set up this way with two strengths and two weaknesses. Normal just does/takes standard damage. This honestly takes away a lot of the stress--for lack of a less dramatic word--when it comes to building a team, since you can essentially have all of the types in your party, even if you don't use a Normal one. The only type I don't have right now is Fire.
-I chose Velokitti the Electric kitty as my starter. Glad I did, because, apart from Fire, it's the only type I haven't seen. I almost went with the Wind dragon or the cute little Plant, but I made my choice based on assumptions of what I figured would be common early on. Many of the Nexomon in the first area are Plant and Wind.
