Honestly after reading all reviews there's not much more that I can say, these definitely needs to be the Pokémon games going forward, the time line is perfect.
Example next game can be at the beginning of the gym tradition, possibilities are endless.
As for the lack of inventory space what you should do is take everything out of your satchel before going out except for balls and medication. Each map by itself doesn't have enough items to fully take the space in your satchel.
