Why did I have to pay $60 for the same game I already had with just an instagram filter added basically? The faces the characters make are terrible, and any intimidation factor you'd have for a boss like Lusamine or Guzma in the Alola games just isn't present here. It looks like I can kick Cyrus over and steal his lunch money. In the battle scenes Cyrus doesn't look that bad, but in the overworld.. You get Blue haired midget voldemort.
If I wanted to play a game for the 'nostalgia' I would just play the original. If I want a 'remake', I expect them to put the effort into creating a split experience from its predacessor as if it was 'Remade'. Like the introduction of megas, or primals, a new path... something.. but this? This is like sending out something that reads 'shining pearl' but instead truly is 'Spitpolished clamrock' EnJoY...
