Gameplay is absolutely phenomenal, until you try swimming and you’re watching a slideshow. the game is very fun and addicting but the tech issues keep it from being my favorite Pokemon game. The story was surprisingly very cool, it drags in the beginning but they really did make it feel like an adventure. I liked Arven’s story and Nemona is the only rival post-asshole era that feels like a genuine and good character. The end of the game was definitely a massive lore dump, but it was genuinely really pretty and probably where all the graphics budget went. I would recommend this to any Pokemon fan, but for anyone that’s still not decided, I would wait until a patch to fix performance issues. Otherwise, a very fun and enjoyable Pokemon game. I will probably bump up the score if they ever do fix performance.
