Personal Opinion: This is my favourite pmd game, the Pokémon sprites are so cute and the story is very interesting. It’s pretty easy to get the hang of if you’re new to it, and there’s plenty of conversation to be had to practice reading. I’ve never played in Japanese so I don’t know quite what that’s like but going off pmd DX there’s quite a lot of adventuring words but you don’t really need the text to figure out what to do since there’s visual indicators for quests.
Pros
- Accessible (emulator)
- Great story
- Adorable
Cons
- Some uncommon words including Pokémon move sets
- No kanji
