This game is so slow man. I'm not even talking about pacing, every battle is 28 seconds (not hyperbole, I counted) of you and the other guy sending out your pokemons, then each of them does a snazzy little animation that you've seen 300 times already, then the camera pans over them, then sometimes your sidekick goes "wow, you can catch that one", then the camera pans again and then you can finally start fighting. But the fights are even slower, because before every attack your pokemon does a cool little buildup, then the camera changes to show the attack, then it changes to show the other pokemon getting hit and doing the most overdramatic theater kid damage animation ever, then gets back up, then the camera changes again, then that same pokemon falls to the ground again if he's been KOd and then the NEXT attack starts.

So yeah it's actually pretty good outside of that if you added the ability to turn off animations it'd be like 4 stars.
