The story for this game is actually quite amazing. It's not the strongest it's ever been but it's pretty damn good in comparison to the Pokemon standard. All the characters were very charming and full of life and I became attached to them, and the final boss was super rad. I also loved a LOT of the new Pokemon designs. But after doing everything the game had to offer, I feel very dissatisfied with the amount of content. Don't get me wrong, the main journey was fun (albeit clunky, and don't forget the performance issues I won't touch on because everybody already has) but it kind of just... ended. I tried to milk as much content as I could- I did all the classes, the post game, got my main team up to level 100, hunted shinies- and even then it was over so suddenly. This game suffers from a genuine lack of stuff to do, even with the three quest lines there's nothing to do aside from hard-targeting the next main-story mission and maybe filling in your dex on the way. Hopefully the DLC will give me more to do, but that's just another $30 to support yet another rushed game.
