I'll say the good side of the game, the game has amazing plot and story.
The character development is very well done. This games has some very powerful cutscenes too. The mastered moves agile and strong has some nice featured also. The condition affects like paralysis and poison doesn't last forever which has balance to the battle gameplay. The part I like about battling is that when you switch too a different pokemon you still have your turn. You also have to craft your own item which to me is pretty cool.
Magikarps follows you which is pretty funny.
Bad side of the game
The felt like it was rush of it whole design like I can see the world glitching from the far distances and see pokemon moves in slow frames from the distances. Pokemon design could been a little better like for example, the new forms of palkia and dialga.
The exploring was fun but lack of inspiration due to lack of things to find. Mostly of exploring is too gather resources. Some small hills and mountains have such terrible gaps you cant climb at all forcing you too use your pokemon to climb on.
The battling has a few issue, your opponents is most likely can go twice or three times meaning they can heal themselves then the second turn they can attack depending on the speed.
The throwing mechanic is not quite accurate nor match up with the cross hair icon in the middle.
Why are there so many damn side quest . . . . .
Last but not least
The the new update 1.1.0 was quite disappointing due to taking away outbreak chaining.
This is one of the few times Ive been disappointed in pokemon games.
I felt like this game was waste of it's potential and it's lack of it creativity of it's opened world.
