This is a game I can see why people like it, but I see so may problems with this one. Let me talk positive first, The story in this game is really intrging with Arven and Team Star and while not the best Pokemon Soundtrack it has it's bangers like every Team Star theme. Now onto the negatives, the game is not well optimized for the switch at all. We have so many problmes both old and new as well as it overheating my switch recently. The Gym Test and raiding Team Bases are boring and monotonous. The Titan bosses are a joke with them being piss easy. I like the idea of an open world pokemon game but this game isn't that at all. There is an order to do things and even then you have to defeat team star bases to traverse further in the region. The Final battle is scrippted and I don't want that in a Pokemon game. I can understand why people like this game and I think it's better then Sword and Shield, but this is not a huge step up from those games.

I fucking love this game, I only don't like that you need 20 members to fight the final boss, other then that it's nearly perfect, you have a slu of weapons to use that can be useful in there own way and can be someones favorite, as well as the curses you can use that can give you secondary effects, the art direction is one of the best things about it, and having to manage all of your members with their sleeping arangements, dieseases, faith, etc. gave it a bit of a Persona/Animal Crossing feel to it. Easily one of the best games of last year.
