As per usual lately in Pokémon games, there are some nice ideas in this but they are heavily overshadowed by big problems.

The performance is unacceptable and I'm usually not even noticing these kind of problems in games, I played docked the entire time and there are some areas (specifically when it rains and/or you're surfing on water) where it goes south of 5fps. On the graphics side it's trash, but that was evident from watching any screenshot.

Gameplay-wise, like mentioned before, some features could be a step in the right direction but considering Legends: Arceus came out this same year (and with all its problems Legends is miles ahead of this game) everything feels like the usual one step forward, five steps back.

Worth your time only if you are an hardcore Pokémon fan, and still you'll probably be frustrated by the experience and the wasted potential.

We're at the point where any features cannot be taken for granted in this serie. They removed set mode, the national dex, the battle tower, any postgame content. You can't even explore most houses and the stores are just menus. All of these sacrifices for a mediocre open world game that is barely able to run at 30 fps, a shitty gimmick that makes your pokémon change its typing and is very competitively balanced :) . And a pokédex smaller than DS titles that look like they could have been on the SNES. A disgrace to the franchise and to gaming in general.
