I don’t care what everyone else says, I’m having a blast with this and that’s all that matters. Would voice acting make it better? Yes. Are the graphics dated? Yes and no, the character designs for humans and Pokemon have not looked this good for a while imo. Was the tutorial aggressively long? Again, yes. But I’m truly hooked on the battle mechanics, and am finding this city to be pretty dense with things to do. Admittedly, I was a bit disappointed by a certain story element that happens kind of early on, hence the 4 star review. But the online battles do make up for that shortcoming a bit!
There are some 1-2 star reviews that have very legit concerns about their experience with it, but there are also a bunch of 1-2 star reviews that are very obviously review bombing and have never played it or even attempted to. At the end of the day, it’s your money, you do what you want and enjoy what you want! Don't let some trolls on the internet dictate what you can and cannot enjoy.
