This game made me realize how tired I am of the main Pokemon series' combat system because I actually thought the GO catching mechanic on the wild encounters actually streamlined the game enough that it didn't just feel like I was playing the same game I've been playing since 1998.
You know, even though it's a remake of said game from 1998.
So there's my review. It's a game if you want to play a Pokemon games but you're tired of some of the Pokemon gameplay mechanics while wanting to play a game that has the other gameplay mechanics of the older Pokemon titles, creating a weird tonal Frankenstein's Monster of a Pokemon game that makes it feel weirdly out of place compared to Sword/Shield.
