This game has the best story and main campaign of any Pokémon game. The new characters (Penny excluded) are some of the best in the entire series.The new Pokémon added were a step up from gen 8, as was the main marketable gimmick. This is the first and possibly last game where you can have a team with all 18 types represented. As far as Pokémon games are concerned, and after the DLC came out, this is no doubt one of the most fleshed out and complete experiences. This game does most everything fans have been asking for.
Criticisms of this game range from dishonest to broader complaints about the franchise overall to youtubers just looking to clickbait the bugs (which will most never happen in normal gameplay). Its insane how doomy the detractors get when Pokémon hasnt been bad for that long whatsoever, and series like Sonic and Megaman have had multiple rough patches up till current year and still get overwhelming support whenever a new game is announced. Pokemon fans need to play other games.
But yes, the game looks and runs like complete dogshit. Like the textures warp around the models terribly and the game cant keep a stable 30 FPS despite being limited. That’s why I cant give it a perfect score. GameFreak is terrible, but SV absolutely is not.
