Completed the story and the dex. I still play this occasionally to do tera raids and build a competitive team, since it's what is currently used for competition. The last area makes me wish the whole game was like it, since it was a spectacular experience. Not sure why it's so buggy and why it culls so aggresively but still slows down to a crawl or freezes and crashes at worst. I've seen it mentioned that the parts of Paldea that are accessible to the player are a minute fraction of what's actually being rendered at any given time, which is why it performs so badly on decent hardware. Weird dev choice, but I'm guessing they were under so much crunch that the priority was to get the game functioning to a somewhat playable degree to get it shipped out and to focus on bugs and performance later.
