i'm very conflicted on this game. on one hand, the open-world is really fun to explore and i'm really enjoying my time with it... but on the other hand, the technical issues are impossible to ignore including graphics in the background randomly bugging out, character models flickering in and out of existence, lots of crashing, pokémon getting stuck, character models bugging out, getting stuck on miraidon, miraidon disappearing, entire models struggling to load in and an abysmal frame rate to top it all off.

i want to love this game but the technical aspect of it is making it so hard for me. for a game from the biggest media franchise in the world, it's inexcusable.
