its very upsetting that this game came out the way it did because if you look past the awful optimization issues, bugs, glitches, bad graphics, and frame rate issues (which is a LOT to look past i know) the game is genuinely pretty fuckin good

it has its issues still like i dont care about the team star story like at ALL, some of the gym challenges fucking blow, and some of the story beats couldve had more build up without going out of your way to find it. But outside of that you have a good mainline pokemon game with probably the best story since gen 5's black and white.

i wish i could say its a home run for the series but sadly it is extremely held back from being fully complete.
