Everything about this game feels unfishied to me. The graphics, explorability, storyline, mechanics, and almost everything else leave something to be desired. I've been playing pokemon games my whole life since pokemon yellow, and this is one of if not the only pokemon game that I've had where I wasn't excited to jump right back in and play non-stop for days upon release. I quickly found a lot of the game repetitive and honestly pretty boring, which I feel comes from a genuine lack of effort and care that was put into the game design and creation. Very much seems like they figured "hey, its a pokemon game people will buy it no matter what we put out" and comes off unfinished. I do not think this is worth full game price at all of $60+ depending on system.
