Pros: Great new Pokémon, good balancing changes, an interesting and fun to explore open world, great customization in face options, return of mainline battling system (rather than the Legends: Arceus battling system) Cons: Lack of set mode, lack of clothing customization, lack of the Legends: Arceus style ability to catch Pokémon outside of battle, still too cutscene heavy (though a vast improvement over Gens 7 & 8), lack of exploration within towns/cities, graphical issues Overall: A fun game, but a definite step back from Legends: Arceus and disappointing on several fronts.
