Did not think the series could get worse than ORAS, but here we are. The most interesting the game got was at the very beginning up until the first gym. From there you are railroaded through a painfully uninspired region whose only charm exists in (some of) the gym leaders. The touted wild area with raid battles is a bland, empty waste of space and the raids themselves do not work half the time. And then there is the story, which is insultingly bad even by the series' low standards. Anytime you get close to it throughout the game, a character will steer you away with "haha don't worry about all that grown up stuff, you just focus on your next gym! >:3". Just so you can find out at the very end that there is literally 0 immediate threat, and the bad guy makes one up just to prove that "there could be". If you enjoy it, fine, I guess. But for me, this was the game that made me realize I have had all the fun I can with the mainline series.
