My Staff Member Progress in Café Remix

The last time I updated anything related to my personal progress in Pokémon Café Remix was somewhat over a year ago, when I detailed the state of leveling for my staff members at that time. Given that quite a bit of a time has passed, it seems right to make another update on the progress, but this time, I want to take a different focus. Instead of focusing (mostly) on their levels, I want to focus on how many staff members I actually have, which could be considered a more extensive way of evaluating how far I've gone through the game, as well as the paths I haven't explored for that purpose. 

So, the numbers are in: I have 67 Pokémon staff members fully raised to Level 25, 12 in the levels between that and Level 20 (the "working group"), and 103 at Level 20 or somewhere close to that. Overall, that also means I have 182 Pokémon staff members in total, which is a very big number. Considering the time that I've been playing - and the time before where I didn't play - that's significant and yet also expected for the best progress possible with all that the game continues to offer today.

Going back to leveling progress, because of the extreme overabundance of resources for leveling, it seems easy to just level up the Pokémon immediately as they are hired, particularly to Level 15 at the very least to unlock all their skills so they can be usable in any stage. In fact, by the above counts, that has been exactly what happened: all the Pokémon I have were leveled up as soon as I had them, further in order to avoid wasting resources, as there is such a thing as being unable to earn more.

Yet even with all that, I'm still missing quite a few Pokémon. The culprits are those that can only be gotten from Delivery and that I can never seem to encounter before they are rotated out for others, or those that can only be gotten if I purchase the monthly Premium Pass - which I don't, being mostly a "freeloader". Then there are still likely others from the time I didn't play that haven't been made available through regular or special means since they first appeared. I'm still interested in these.

With all the staff members that I've hired and subsequently leveled up in Café Remix, I'm definitely fulfilling a core intent of the game and setting myself up for future offerings for the game, which means doing even more of those actions by way of what those future offerings would bring. At that point, it just means trudging on and keeping the Pokémon staff going to make the café more lively each time.
