Dude, Pokemon company is so annoying. They've been putting out some of their best games on switch, between this and Legends: Arceus, but they look so genuinely god awful that they're difficult to support. Like these are unfinished guys. It's not possible that they looked at this and went "yep. looks good!" It's just impossible. And it sucks because, again, these are really good! The pokemon battling is the same, but you won't be doing as much of it. They made the random encounter trainers optional (THANK GOD) and so you can really get your levels by just catching and be ok. The catching is like a halfway point between Legends and normal, but I really wish they would just go back to the Legends type. It's so much fun to sneak catch. Didn't stop me from having over half the Pokedex by the end of the game. Though, a lot of that was from Pokemon Home. Speaking of, I imported all of my team from past games! I had an Ursaluna, Magmortar, Snorlax, Venusaur, Swampert, and Mewtwo. They were all level 65-80 by endgame and didn’t listen to me for half the game, but I love them anyway. Everything about this game just reeks of unfinished. Everything is there, and it’s pretty fun. But it’s not ALL there, you know? I’m really hoping that Gen 10 takes this and fully solidifies what makes a good open world pokemon game, but also I know it won’t. Also, if you’re gonna make the gyms in optional order, then have the levels scale with you like this should be common sense wtf.
