The batting is interesting and different, although the constant movement is taking a lot longer to get used to and I’m Not using any strategy because it’s just button mashing and cool down - they should have stuck with arceus.
I like being able to customize my avatar and change her clothes. I enjoy the battle zones, it’s a great way to level up.
I’m not a fan of the wild zones and stagnant map. I feel everything is congested. I prefer adventuring in the true wild / nature for my pokemon. Having me catch them in a small area or on a roof doesn’t really do it for me. Sure, I think it logically makes sense to catch some pokemon this way (pidgey, grimer, etc) The pokemon aren’t hard to find in these wild zones either. They are just walking around.. not hidden. No challenge.
I’ve played it for a few days and I’ve now lost all interest which is sad because I’m a big Pokemon fan. Sigh.
