Worst demo i've ever played
It accomplishes absolutely nothing. No skipping, having to sit through boring dialogues, waiting for the stupid chat box to type and then another seconds to actually get to the next boring dialogue. Did they make it unskippable just so they pad playing time?

When a game has actual better story than any pokemon games and people have no patience to read the dialogue for immersion. Pretty sure almost no one knows there is 2 endings in the demo, and the story is dark. People should read it like it's a good book.

I doubt many people finished the demo. By the time I was set free I was burned out from all the reading. It would be one thing if the setting grabbed me, but it really didn't.
An actual child could write a better story than Pokemon. Thats not really why people play those games. I'll go back to the demo at some point if I can. But I've been playing other games instead.

*IF* a game has a good story, it doesn't need to force people to read it. It also definitely is not good storytelling to just do a huge lore dump at the very start, when people don't even know yet whether or not they care. This is how a child would tell a story it made up and that it is very excited about.
Even in a story-heavy game, the bulk of the exposition should be introduced at a later point, when the player organically became curious about the world.
People read good books, when they want to read good books. When they play a game, they usually want to play a game, ESPECIALLY when they play a demo.
If your demo might as well have been an e-mail, you did something horribly wrong.

I finished the demo and it was actually quite good! I enjoy narrative stories seeing as I play a lot of visual novel games. But I do agree that it needs at least a way to skip the intro.

Nobody plays monster-capturing games for the story, man.

yep, it barely got to the point I got impatient and I honestly expect that might be worth it later in the story.

I play them for the story actually, and I despise PVP instead.

I'm kind of the same even if PVP sometimes get's me a little curious
