Even though the lack of Pokemon and the removal of some moves caused hate, this is a really good game! When you get into the game, moves are not very noticeable unless your using google. The lack of Pokemon may be sad, but you can fall in love with the Galarian Pokemon AND stick around with a few of your old pals.
The Wild Area is a great way to get out of the games story line to train, camp, and just take a break. See-able Pokemon in the world respond when they notice you and the precious Pokemon named Yamper even cheers when you dance! The towns have stunning beauty and are more creative than in other Pokemon games! For example, one of the towns have mushrooms above your head!
The gyms are really awesome. When you first enter, its filled with life. Shopkeepers and other challengers waiting for who knows what. When you enter, your sure to have a mini game. Many different ones depend on the gym. When you get to the stadium, which is after the mini game, the stadium is full of life. This game is really great, and there are many more features that I never even mentioned, like max raid battles, rivals, multiplayer features, the story line, side quests, and more.
