there were five things about this game that i liked, Arven's story, terastalization, the new designs, the music and paradox pokemon. Everything else about this game is somewhere between mediocre and just bad. This is the first main line pokemon game I haven't been able to find enjoyment playing and I played bdsp. It is buggy as all christ, I have played ps vita games with nicer graphics than this game, it claims to be open world but nothing scales with your level and speaking of a bad open world, this game uses like 6 textures outside of the cities. why does every single area look the exact same. The pokemon all feel way too small, it is so inconvenient to buy items because all the stores have the same name but have different stock despite being BESIDE EACHOTHER, online play is SO broken, why can't you change your clothes, WHY IS ED SHEERAN HERE, you cant interact with doors and most npcs anymore and why does this game feel like 70% of the dev time was spent actually learning how to code for the first time. I get that everyone hates on the new pokemon games but i have always enjoyed the modern games and never deemed them bad enough to hate on. There is no excuse for how bad this game is. you cannot blame the limitations of the switch when we have xenoblade and botw on switch. This is simply a lazy, bland, buggy game pretending to be ambitious while being made by the least ambitious people.
