However, I will say that the game does get old rather quickly, and I did have a bit of trouble dodging some attacks, but that's likely just a matter of me not mastering the timing. It honestly feels like the game needs more variety, and that likely could be largely fixed by making the trainers...well...send out their own Antimon rather than fighting you hand to hand. Though for 48 hours, you did seem to do a lot of attacks for the trainers themselves, so I can't really fault you there."},{"author_name":"Sam Twidale","author_uid":"42276","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:41am","epoch":1440383760,"text":"Really funny, the text attack descriptions were great.
