an almost empty open world, hugely obvious lack of polish and bugs hold back a very fun and addictive blast that is a great example of a pokemon game with very interested characters and story, for the most part really good pokemon design and a diverse and interesting story. it is sorta easy but having an overlevelled annihilape mowing through everything with close combat may give me a slightly unfair perspective on that. i do really enjoy this game but it sadly has issues and couldve been something really special if it was given more time. also the art direction makes me want to vomit.
