This game revived my dead hopes that there would one day be a good main series Pokémon game again. The concept is fresh, the visuals are appealing, and both catching and battling Pokémon really felt exciting for the first time in decades with different mechanics. The soundtrack is a love letter to Diamond/Pearl's, with beautiful remixes and many smaller musical references mixed in. It's not perfect, but all the above things more than make up for its shortcomings and make it a fun experience. If Legends: Z-A is at least as good as this, I'll be truly happy.
