Underrated Pokémon game. Yes, it looks like a 3ds game, no the national dex isn’t there, yes there’s paid dlc. But honestly I think the max raids and dlc adventures offer so much and is the closest we’ve gotten to a real Pokémon mmo. Dynamaxing was great for balance compared to mega evos and z powers because it means you can make almost any mon on your team into something viable. Also really enjoy the themes about the environment, history and myth present in the narrative along with some really stand out characters. This game got me back into Pokémon when I had been off of it for a while so I appreciate it quite a bit. Also personally, I think the national dex is broken and unbalanced and idrc that it isn’t present. That being said, it’s still a standard Pokémon romp overall with all of its flaws included. It’s just too damn easy and the while I enjoyed the themes, you’re definitely gonna be skipping all dialogue on a second playthrough.
