In short. It’s a direction pokemon needs to go if they want to stay innovative and not stagnant. This is the most fun I’ve had with Pokémon since the original diamond and pearl. There are a few issues but the direction they are going is exciting and I will give it 5 starts for how fresh this feels. There are going Pokémon die hards who can’t handle a game without gyms, but without this, pokemon would have died from repetition. I hope the new gen is like this. I would buy it. Honestly if it’s not, I probably won’t spend money on a game I payed 100 times over.
