I bought both and spent over 20 hours playing.
You are forced to capture a lachonk at the start of the game. Some battles the camera will lock into a spot where you can not see.
A lot of the Pokémon are hard to see in the open world.
It takes about 2 hours before you finally get to explore and battle Pokémon which trainers and Pokémon are completely avoidable.
The games no longer care about gameplay experience they care about story and lore way too much.
Not everyone wants to play Pokémon to sit in school for hours doing work. We want to play the game.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY THEY ALREADY ANNOUNCED ANOTHER GAME FOLLOWING.
