Unironically my favorite modern Pokémongame since the transition to 3D graphics. Absolutely love the open world gameplay along with the different story routes as well as the new Pokémon that have been introduced. Haven't felt this same level of love for a Pokémon game in YEARS and it felt great to finally get into the franchise again and really eat up this game.

It's hard to ignore the poor performance as it really does drag down this game, but hopefully this is something that will be resolved with that big patch planned for next month. Other than that, really loved this game and I hope they can build on this different formula even further with their next entry :)
