The positive side of the game is that its completely different to past Pokémon games, with the way of catching Pokémon and aiming the ball, or can still throw out a Pokémon to battle the wild Pokémon to weaken and then catch. Moving the player around to get views of the battles are awesome also. Having missions to go and complete, with having missions to complete pokedex, like catching a certain Pokémon more then once (although I don't want to catch a Bidoof 15x).
This new direction is cool, and would like to see how and if they expand from this.
Cons
Its a great game, although it does become repetitive. Game music is pretty quiet and very basic which becomes very boring especially when reading the game dialogue. (Would be great to finally get a voice over on these games). The graphics aren't to great but is expected from a Nintendo game. Being one town in the game is also quite boring, yes you can go out and explore the open world but just into the wild areas is boring, more towns to explore with more story would of been a bonus.
Online Multiplayer is a disappointment with only having trades. I would of liked to have Battles. Or & co-op missions to catch or battle Pokémon with my friends.
