It's alright I guess, nothing crazy but more integrations with the main Pokémon games were fun to have

…Huh, Dream Radar is on Backloggd.

Yeah, Dream Radar is certainly A Thing. To give it some credit, Dream Radar does open some very interesting options for team members, considering hidden ability Pokemon come from here. Literally only went through it to use a Staryu early on my team. And the legendaries are cool, especially since you can get them at level 5. Using a Multiscale Lugia for a playthrough is technically viable and that’s really funny.

But like, Dream Radar is just annoying and grindy, even a bit frustrating at times. Like, apparently there’s a mechanic where the Pokemon you can find depends on the ORB COLOR YOU COLLECTED MOST THE RUN BEFORE. The game doesn’t tell you this. Orbs are annoying to collect, being a long grind to get a sizeable amount for upgrades and specific radar extenskons. Specific Pokemon are hard to find, with encounters being slow and limited even with the extension that increases Pokemon. Dream Radar is generally just a really annoying grind in order to get anything from it, something that’s just kinda… tolerable.

Worth it for my early Staryu though

I mean like. The free legendaries were cool

Shooting Pokemon with guns before Palworld made it even worse.

Stuff like this makes me glad getting rare variants of Pokemon is just baked into the game itself these days, because man this always felt like a waste of time.

The game itself was actually kinda fun in my opinion. But if you played it before Black 2/White 2, it trivialised those games to no end because you were given legendaries

It's like face raiders, but worse.
