Props to Game Freak for trying to breathe new life into the Pokemon formula because it really needed it, and this game is a fantastic blueprint, but it has far too many problems. It starts dragging after the first (absolutely magical) five hours, it's an absolute nightmare to look at, and there are far too many Pokemon that aggro you, to the point where it kind of sucks the fun out of catching them. Still, the core gameplay loop is fun, so a sequel could potentially be fantastic if they don't abandon it like they did with Let's Go.
