Unironically better than any other pokemon game official or otherwise. Thats what happens when the super fans who know the games better than the people making them actually get to make the game.
On top of that almost all the designs being from rando anons across /vp/ just tickles me, thats adorable and despite not being a 4chan freak anymore its still the only time ill try to curb my gag reflex to call it 'soulful.' Oh yeah, right. 4chan
Its irreverent and offensive in the most 4chan way possible, pure apathy for the emotions of others for the lels to top all else, like having the de-facto HM 'slave' be, well ill give you three guesses. Not actively evil but i can understand how that 14 year old style humor can be a massive turn off for people who didnt unfortunately grow up in that space. Tho personally i can stomach the gross reminders for what still feels loving to the community who let it happen at its core with most of the references to the culture not being offensive and just being cool to see in an environment like this. The design of Foryu still gets me and tentaquil just being there makes me smile. Fucking notridley are you kidding.
Again, even if you arent a weirdo you can still find enjoyment out of this if you just want a hard pokemon game that makes you think and is still fair. You even get a chance after the elite 4 going into the orange islands equivalent to massively switch up your team comp so you can really see how much this game has to offer in terms of battling, which gamefreak has fallen short on for the past who even knows how long at this point.
