Firstly I wanted to say, I whole heartedly disagree with how people are reviewing this game.
A few points are justified, yes this game has laggy points, yes it sometimes breaks and yes the graphical performance isn't the best at times.
BUT one thing that people are missing completely is this is the first time Gamefreak is doing something drastically different from what they have in the past. The whole open world thing, the whole storyline, the choices you can make in the game... Amazing!
I couldn't put this game down, I played it till the end (completed all three pathways), and there is still lots more to discover.
What I really want to ask the people who are rating this poorly, have you played the game till the end? Because what this game does something that is truly different from the others.
This is the game that you dreamed watching the anime, minus the glitches. I ask you guys to stop jumping on the bandwagon, play the game fully and then review it, because I honestly think the reviews would change.
Goodwork Gamefreak and please please don't go back to the linear gamestyle, stick with this style you are on to something!!!
