just so fkng bad. did not feel like a pokemon game, obviously besides it having pokemon.

the graphics are shit, it performs like shit which is ironic because you'd think that with the graphics being so bad, it would actually run decent, the pokemon designs feel like they were designed by 10 different groups of people with different ideas which seems interesting but the issue is that they don't feel like pokemon, or at the very least they don't feel like they all belong/come from the same pokemon entry. the non-linear open world system is absolute garbage and was extremely displeasing having to go scavenge the world to complete the team star bases, gym battles, etc. speaking of the gym battles they were utter trash and didn't feel like gyms at all. there were no poke-centers just stupid little mobile gas station spots placed around the world. the animations as usual with 3D pokemon games were also lacking.

I can at least praise this game for having a great soundtrack, courtesy of Toby Fox, and an actual good story which honestly isn't surprising for a Pokemon game. other than that, this is the worst pokemon game of all time in every other category.
