The good: Fresh battle mechanics & decent graphics (probably best in a pokemon game at least from a performance standpoint it runs well on the switch 2). They tried something new with the entire setting in a city, so gotta give them props for trying.
The bad: Worst one for me is the congested wild areas...a far cry from arceus. Also there is a LOT of dialogue and cut scenes compared to previous games so while I didn't have any expectations going into it I can totally see why the community is complaining so much despite it being a pokemon game which never had voice acting.
Price is really not worth it, but hey we pokemon fans will probably buy a game even if it costs $200 so only way Nintendo won't keep increasing prices is if people stop buying the game.
Overall, 6 out of 10 without considering price. If I consider price, might have to go with a 4 out of 10.
