Honestly really enjoyed this. Has tons of charm and the updated graphics and soundtrack are really nice, I haven’t played the original but this made me a fan. My main complaints would be that the (admittedly uncommon) precise platforming moments are hard with the game’s camera angle, and some of the mini cutscenes this remake adds are missing sound effects which can make them a little awkward. But these are minor issues in a good game.

Dear God this dlc left an awful aftertaste after I finished it. The main story was fine (although short) and I really liked the double battles and references to past games. The issue I have is with how the postgame is handled.

Of course my first thought in the postgame was to work on completing the Pokedex—but it turns out you physically can’t without MASSIVELY grinding out hundreds of miniature sidequests like “Catch a Pokemon!” or “Take a picture of a swimming Pokemon!” If you don’t have all the Pokemon locked behind grinding in other games through the Home application, you’re screwed if you’re a completionist.

It’s faster if you have friends with the game and dlc to grind with you but at this point, the fact I need to convince my friends to grind for maybe 2+ hours with me completely turns me off from an entire aspect of the game.

One thing I was really looking forward to in this DLC was catching the legendary paradox Pokemon they teased, but of course that turned out to be locked behind making huge progress in the Pokedex! And returning legendaries are shiny locked so that’s another reason to not return to this game!
