Somehow is this one of the best and worst Pokémon games at the same time. The gameplay is a lot of fun and I enjoyed the freedom they gave you (after the ridiculously long and text heavy tutorial section). The side characters actually had some depth to them as well, with Arven being my favorite. But good LORD the performance is unacceptable. It's worse than it has ever been in any Pokémon game and it bring the game down by a lot. The frame dips and stutters combined with the low resolution can literally make this game nauseating. If this ever gets a "remaster" on the next Nintendo hardware, this might skyrocket into my top 3 Pokémon games.
