Great gameplay concept but story line falls flat on its face the new open world design will revolutionize pokemon games to come, but this one sadly doesnt deliver on all aspects. several flaws in the game and gameplay include: Alpha pokemon, only alpha pokemon are desired so most other ones in the world are useless, this limits you to certain pokemon to keep in your party dueling/rivals, there is none! there is only a few times in the game in which you duel NPCs and theyre pokemon are weak and it is hardly challenging! boss fights are completely pointless and boring. you literally run around throwing bags at the boss! and if you lose, you can just restart from where you left off! there is no actual boss fights where you need to dual/fight with your pokemon Berries, items and dirt/grit; completely pointless, not needed in fights or crafting, i feel crafting and all these items were added to the game to give it depth and something to farm but instead they just leave you wondering why they are necessary the story line is very flat, many plot holes and doesnt really explain where the main character comes from or why... there is no real challange when it comes to the boss fights or end game challange. this game doesnt offer any real challange at all! and ontop of that your pokemon are healed after every npc fight? Its fun to run around in the open world and catch pokemon at your own leisure but thats all this game has going for it.. theres no real challange or story line. This game could of been so much more if they really played on the open world design and included challanges from previous pokemon games, i would love to see a remastered open world version of the older pokemon games such a silver/gold etc. This game has so much potential, i really hope they bring out some DLC that really captures the possibilities that this open world has to offer
