I had fun. The gameplay loop evoked Atelier Totori, and the focus on Pokemon's creator god saw this leaning heavy into a Shin Megami Tensei aesthetic at times. And while it was still ultimately stifled by a lack of polish, at the very least a sense of ambition was conveyed. This was a uniquely fresh experience of the franchise.

I probably liked it less than I would a standard Pokemon game, but simultaneously I'm more excited by this prospect than I would have been another status quo title. The Legends subseries is a very neat idea and I'm looking forward to seeing where it can go.
