Everytime I pick up this game i'm like "Yes this will be it, i'm going to finish the game."... And that never happens.
I usually get about half way (getting the badges) and my motivation runs out.

Visually its really pretty, the Pokemon all look great, the characters are just like from the original show.

The thing that kills it for me is how they changed the "capture" mechanic, and made it like Pokemon GO. Before you would battle the creature down before attempting to capture it.
Now you throw berries and Pokeballs at it in the hopes to nab the creature.. Maybe its just me, but it sucks. If i want to play pokemon GO i'll play Pokemon GO.

I'd still recommend this to any Pokemon fan, but if you are a "GenWunner" and want a "decent" remake true to the original games, go play Fire red or Leaf Green.
