I really wanted to like this game. Cute art, diverse characters, plus cats! But it was super buggy on the Switch and I didn't find the gameplay interesting enough for me to power through.
When I worked at EB Games, I would buy the used copies of Pearl, transfer all the good Pokemon that were left on the game by the previous owner to my Diamond version, and then I'd return the game. I still have some of those Pokemon to this day.
I really liked the concept of this game and climbing around on on all those things was really fun. However, I didn't get very far because I felt bad for killing them.
