The start is super slow, but it really picks up. The plot can best be described as a coming of age story featuring Pokémon and some really, really weird shit going on in the final act. Anyway, the game looks good, and I enjoyed its take on the PMD job and recruitment system, for as different as it is. The characters are enjoyable and the partner is one of the best in the franchise, in my opinion. I even liked the ending twist, even if it wasn’t foreshadowed very well. All in all, if you haven’t played a PMD game before, this isn’t a bad place to start.
