Don't buy this game, or any pokemon games really. I refuse to support Nintendo because of their lack of actual content in games. They ship sub-par games, that bring little to the table.
This should be $10 game Max with how little effort they put developing this.
These last few "Modern" pokemon games have all been a letdown, this is no exception. Like the old Gameboy games, they really don't innovate, & don't add much new content. The only thing Nintendo ever does...
- just have different pokemon catching pools, and a little gimmick. -
Take scarlet and violet for example, which was 'OK' at best. Different pokemon pools slightly, and the gimmick of crystal "terrastellize" abilities, and a pokemon motorcycle.(oh that awful un-skippable cutscene every raid fight as well). That is it. Nothing great, that is what we can expect of every pokemon game.
Like how they never upgrade properly their slow console hardware, Nintendo proves they don't value their customers. Nintendo will continue deliver poor quality games, and will take as much money as they can while doing the least possible. For these reasons I have sold my switch. I suggest you consider doing that as well. Don't buy don't support. Hopefully that will cause Nintendo to finally get out of their chairs and do something, but track record shows otherwise.
