Fun little puzzle game with a a bunch of little tasks to do. Captain Toad and Toadette are fun little characters and the environments are fun and colorful. Definitely will replay in the future.
I believe it to be the very best Pokemon game. I think it has the best Pokedex, best overall gameplay, and the extras added are also fun to more experienced players. Also very best starters in my opinion. Sceptile is goated. The game does suffer from a lot of water routes towards the end of the game and the HM's being permanent until Move Deleter is extremely annoying, but you'll be hard pressed to find a more complete Pokemon experience.
Very very good game and such an enriching experience. The game really does combine the best aspects of the previous entries into a 30-40 hour experience that never really does overstay it's welcome. Every Pikmin type previously introduced in older games makes their appearance here and each have their own separate use and utility. The Ice Pikmin and the Glow Pikmin introduced are extremely useful and I love the gameplay mechanics that are introduced there with freezing water and nighttime battles. Not to mention the whole gameplay changes with Oatchi in the mix. I know some people viewed him as a ploy or gimmick, but I always viewed him as a Pikmin/second Captain hybrid. The game has very gorgeous locations and the music is very beautiful and ambient.
I do have some quibbles with the game however. In contrast to the earlier entries, the game is very easy. I found myself basically Oatchi rushing into every enemy with Ice Pikmin and just waiting to win, even some bosses. I thought the Dandori battles unfortunately got very stale after a while especially the later ones so that's what knocks it down for me. And the Sage Leaf challenges are brutal AF. Especially challenge 7 where the auto-aim is working against you the whole time.
Nevertheless these are fairly minor gripes that do not tarnish the experience at all. Very very good Pikmin game
