The game looks like shit and it's clear that they do not care, but the gameplay is very fun and has a lot of new mechanics that help make leveling up way less tedious. There are ton of Pokemon to catch, the different story paths are all cute, and the general experience was very satisfying.
If they had made leveling up just adjust around an average or you Pokemon or any kind of similar equation so you could truly go in any order you chose, I might even have given it a 4.5 despite how shitty it looks, but the game is still relatively linear just masquerading as open world.

literally just finished the main storyline today and it was good. graphics bad lol but its okay. i like the idea of the whole school thing and that you can actually take classes dont like that you cant customize your outfit all that much though. the whole tera forming and changing types feature didnt impress me all that much i feel like it didnt make you any stronger but maybe i just used it wrong lol. with sword the dynamaxing feature was better in my opinion i felt powerful lol. i did enjoy that you had the option to fight random trainers in the wild. i also really like the post game im definitely gonna complete it and probably get the dlc. nemona was mid. the whole game being a open world kinda scared me because i really like games to hold my hand but i actually really enjoyed it. comparing it to sword again this storyline was better. also it being set in spain was cute, the hispanic food was cute.
(i beat area zero pt 1 and base game, felt fulfilled enough to put off pt 2 for a while)
in spite of its shortcomings this reignited my love for pokemon. i really enjoy the new tera mechanic (although i wish gyms and trainers did more crazy tactics w it but its a pokemon game so. easy) and even though the texture work for the environments is ass ugly, i still enjoyed my time exploring it.
just uh, please make it run at a solid 30fps next time thanks

It’s kinda incredible how Pokémon’s biggest evolution and arguably best step forward is held back by GameFreak’s limited dev time because of the Pokémon Company’s endless quest for brand syngery as they’d rather prioritize increasing yearly profit margins for putting out Sprigatito merch on time over having a game that doesn’t look somewhat crusty and on the verge of imploding at any given moment.
