Despite not being actually an open world game like Scarlet and Violet the interactions with wild Pokémon are way more immersive and again, despite not having many battles it houses the hardest battle in a pokemon game to date, not to mention that it doesnt have performance issues. Only downsides I could find is that it doesnt look good, it lacks autobattles and the research tasks for some Pokémon can be kinda annoying to complete.
