Worst pokemon game I've ever played. There's no battling against friends, which i could potentially get passed if pokemon felt more rare. There's no random element about this game, so trading is pointless. I can literally tell you exactly where to go at what time of day to catch the same alpha every time. The only reason I give this game 2 stars is because catching is enjoyable to a level. But that's all you do in this game. Other trainers rarely have more than 2 pokemon so battles are quick and unsatisfying. And the plot is full of holes and diluted by an obnoxious amount of cutscenes and dialog. The fact that this is a pokemon game is the only reason I don't give it 1 star and call it a pile of garbage.
