Grew up playing Pokémon, played most of them apart from some new ones and I can say this is a somewhat improvement.
Amazing game but definitely has its performance issues which should have been fixed prior to its release and need to be fixed. The fps is constantly dropping frames, things in the distance are very low fps until you walk up to it or aren’t there until you get closer. Things disappear, reappear, glitch, the lighting bugs out all the time and riding your legendary doesn’t help all of this either.
Next, most new Pokémon designs are pretty OK, nothing to special and definitely going away from its classic and previous designs (some Pokémon are good though but only a few). I do honestly think they’re either running out of ideas or just not putting in as much creativity and sticking to their roots.
Everything else, coming from a massive Pokémon fan, is great. It ain’t perfect but I do still really enjoy it, just a little let down in parts. If you’re a big fan of the games, I would recommend it but take into account the performance issues, let’s just hope Game Freak actually does something about it because they have no excuse, look at some other games on the console that are more detailed and run better.
