PokeLegacy — a browser-based Pokémon roguelike

It's a browser-based Pokémon fangame built around a roguelike structure. Instead of moving through routes normally, each area is a node-based map where you choose between different encounters, trainers, captures, items and other events while building your team and progressing toward the next Gym.

Description:
Hey! I've been working on PokeLegacy for a while and I think I've reached the point where I need feedback from people who haven't been following the development.

It's a browser-based Pokémon fangame built around a roguelike structure. Instead of moving through routes normally, each area is a node-based map where you choose between different encounters, trainers, captures, items and other events while building your team and progressing toward the next Gym.

What I'm mostly interested in right now is the actual player experience.

Is it clear what you're supposed to do when you start? Does the map feel intuitive? Are the route choices interesting? Does progression feel too slow or too fast? Is there anything that feels confusing without someone explaining it first?

I'm also still adjusting difficulty, encounter variety and the general flow between areas, so feedback on those things would be really useful.

The game is still in development and not everything is finished yet, but there's already enough of the main progression available to get a good sense of how it plays.

If you try it, feel free to be critical. Knowing where someone gets confused, bored, stuck, or makes a choice I didn't expect is probably more useful to me right now than hearing that everything works.

No download or installation is needed. It runs directly in the browser.

Involvement:
I'm the developer of PokeLegacy. I've been working on the game design, progression, UI, balance and overall direction of the project, and I'm currently looking for outside playtesting to see how the experience holds up when someone approaches it without any prior context.
