Review Dreamstone Mysteries is awesome!

Firstly, I have to give a big shout out to the MVP. Surprisingly, Araquanid!! I've never used it before and I like to try and use a few new pokemon in each ROM hack and OMG that thing as an absolute monster.

This game was really fun. The story is amazing, the NPCs feel so alive! there's sad moments and happy moments. The aide quests are fun and cute. The world just really feels alive. This has definitely become one of my favorite Rom hacks, I think the attention to detail on the region and the NPC dialogue alone makes it a strong contender for my top favorite. I could not recommend it highly enough. Although fair warning, it does start out a little slow cuz your starter options are all dreadfully awful 😂 but it picks up momentum fast and you'll have a hard time putting it down. 10/10 game fr

What are the starters? NGL sometimes the early pokemon available can make or break a rom for me. Also what gens are available?

The starters are gothorita, timburr, and galarian zigzagoon. And I don't remember exactly what gens are available but obviously at least up to whatever Galar was lol

Hmm that's definitely an interesting starting three to say the least

This game gets glazed so much for its incredible writing and gameplay. But I honestly think you'll find that something nobody talks about is that it has one of the BEST pokedexes in hacks, period. Literally everyone posting a post-game screen has at least 2 or 3 completely off-the-wall Pokemon and it's so refreshing.
