Mild Fantasy Violence
This is an adventure/role-playing game in which players assume the role of an explorer tasked with catching and calming Pokemon. Players explore a strange land, interact with characters, perform missions, and battle various Pokemon. Most battles are turn-based, with players performing attack moves (e.g., bites, elemental attacks) to deplete opponents' health meters. Some battles occur close-up, as players try to calm enraged Pokemon by throwing balms (bags containing the Pokemon's favorite things) at them.
