The game itself is a solid 4, its a great first entry into what they could do in the future. certain game mechanics could be changed or tweaked to make it polished, as well as more enjoyable. I wish they had more time for quality and features. more towns, characters too. the Pokedex is grindy and the characters are a little lackluster, with quests on the side that beg for more. i love the game so much leaps and bounds above sword and shield. all in all more time would have been great BDSP should have gotten a S&S like upgrade then spent more time on legends and polished and added content and gameplay.
