Demo Review: Pokemon Academy Life
10/10/2015Now, before you say anything, I know what you're thinking.
It's Pokemon, yes, I know! Pokemon! *squeals and does a little happy dance*
So, as some of you may know, I'm a huge Pokemon fan, and I've been a fan of that franchise for more than a decade... and a half. Hahaha, I practically grew up watching Pokemon, collecting Pokemon cards, and of course, playing the games. I couldn't be prouder to say that I own at least one game in every single generation of the Pokemon games, (Except XY, as I am still waiting for Z, hahaha) from the Gameboy to the Nintendo 3DS. And even until now, as a broke (usually, hahaha) young college student, I make sure that I always have spare money for Pokemon releases. Gotta catch 'em all! (Oh, wow, if you know me in real life, well... please don't tell anyone else about my hidden nerdy side! Hahaha, kidding.)
That said, I have to warn you guys that I might be a little biased about this game here, because... hey, it's Pokemon! <3 And a Pokemon SCHOOL, too, no less. Ahhh, just thinking about it sends the fan girl in me squealing her lungs out~
Ahem. Anyway, I've already talked too much. Let's get on with the review, shall we?

This is it! I'm gonna be... a Pokemon Cum Laude! |
Just playing this part made me feel so nostalgic, since even the font and the music are all proudly Pokemon! It actually made me want to play an actual Pokemon game, hahaha.

Liar! You just want to smell me! |
Since this is a visual novel, expect that there will be a lot of choices along the way. And you will get a lot of them in this demo, especially during the roommate-finding process. You can choose to ask four people if they'd like to be your roommate: Calem, Cheren, Brendan, or... okay, I forgot his name. Hahaha. I first picked Cheren, but then I chose Calem.

Then I guess you're not introverted. |

Hobbies: smelling me, smelling you, smelling everybody. |
