I was excited to see this game fully fleshed out on the switch. And aside from the competitive aspect, I play this game for the story. But this game had me bored the whole way through.
Literally NOTHING happens throughout the story. There is little to no build up with the plot and the player's involvement in saving the region is overshadowed by the champion because he wants to do it. The climax felt forced and contrived, and can be completed within 10 minutes.
There is little exploration and all routes and caves feel like over glorified hallways. The only "dungeons" that would be a challenge to explore would be Slumbering Weald and Glimwood Tangle, and those places are tiny.
Buy it if you want to, but be aware of what you're getting. Remember that this game costs 50% MORE than all other pokemon games.
