After finishing this game, I'm of the mind that this game is good (by Pokemon standards) and fun! I really enjoyed the new Pokemon designs this generation and the characters and world-building was pretty cool too.

It's just extremely disappointing that these games are held back by a literal mountain of technical and performance issues, a lot of which could've been easily ironed out if these games were given more than a year's worth of development time, especially since these games are coming off of PLA, which released just 10 months prior.

tl;dr: a good 7/10 can change your life
