If this game wasn't so not good looking and riddled with bugs it would definitely be up there with my favorite Pokemon games. I enjoyed being in the open world, and the characters were better than I was expecting. I REALLY wish there was level scaling when it came to wild pokemon and how many badges you had, but besides that big gripe I had a lot of fun with this one

Lacking in terms of story, though I didn't mind Lysandre as a villain. The gameplay is typical Pokemon battles with a few changes that makes the grind a bit easier. EXP share was handled great in my opinion, as it's something you can turn off if you don't want to use it. Not a difficult game, but then again, most Pokemon games aren't difficult anyway. The diversity of Pokemon in this game is one of the high points, as you could complete the game with such a different set of mons each playthrough.

My personal favorite Pokemon spinoff game. The gameplay loop is a bit repetitive but it's enjoyable finding perfect links and battling in the different maps of the game. Each pokemon only having one move seemed like a weird choice at first but it adds just that bit more strategy to it. Not a hard game by any means, but it definitely has its moments here and there. Art style is great and using actual Japanese warlords is so interesting and cool. Postgame giving you the ability to play as all the other warlords was a fun choice
