Vastly over rated. You can tell most pokemon where cut on GameFreaks part most likely because they didn't want to work on over 1,000+ different models when you're camping with your pokemon. I just want to play the meta game. I don't care about "bonding" or "playing" with my virtual pocket Monsters. The soundtrack is terrible. Toby Fox is an over rated indie developer. He should stick to ripping off Nintendo games and appeasing to the woke crowd with Homestruck. I hope GameFreak choses to hire more competent developers in the future otherwise I'm finished with suporting this company.
Edit: I quit playing after Kabu's Gym. Way too easy. Its insulting to a returning veteran player like myself. With all the inovations you'd figure GameFreak would finally add an Easy Mode and Hard mode - but they already did and failed to implement it properly back in Black and White 2. You had to beat both games ONCE and link with the Black 2 for hard mode since White 2 had easy mode.
