There are a lot of good ideas and mechanics here. Open-world Pokemon? Check. A core mechanic that makes use of the type system with both offensive and defensive utility? Check. A Pokemon game with a school setting? Check. Fun Pokemon concepts? Check. Flexible progression? Check. Larry? Check.

All of that is unfortunately brought down by an overall feeling that this game is mostly unfinished. It performs badly and looks mostly bad.

This could've been a 5/5, but as it is, it barely gets 3/5.
