I can't in good faith give this a proper review. I didn't get too far into the game at all because I simply got bored. I cannot play these games anymore. None of them do anything interesting really. There is like a hint of change in the Strong Style and Agile Style attacks but there is next to no reason to use either. The only thing I enjoy about this game is the renewed focus on catching and cataloguing Pokémon. For a franchise as profitable and successful as Pokémon there is no reason for the games to look and play this poorly. ESPECIALLY when the Xenoblade games look so damn good.

If I wanna play a good RPG with similar mechanics and creature collecting I will just play a Megami Tensei game.
