I really want to go back and finish this game - but I don't have the patience to deal with the slow nature of each level. Messing up one thing requires you to complete levels all over again, and eventually it came to a point where replaying felt like a chore. I love the visuals of this game though, among the best on the Switch.

A Pokemon fighting game is such a genius concept - it sucks this was relegated to a dying Wii U, or it likely would've been more successful and memorable. I was always a big fan of the core fighting mechanics and I remember the online being really good. The single-player story and VA is pitiful, however.

I'm still not sure why they decided to fundamentally change the Mario Party formula with the car, but honestly... it's not terrible. 9 still has some really good minigames, and the single player is decent. The car makes each board go a lot faster, which helps with this as well. I liked the boss battle mini-games a lot.

Ugh.
This is the cheapest the series has ever felt. The graphics lack the normal Game Freak/Nintendo polish, and the multitude of glitches on the initial version is frankly inexcusable. However, at its core, Shining Pearl is still a fun game - Sinnoh is always a joy to explore, and the late-game fights were genuinely pretty challenging. I wish that some elements of Platinum were included.

I completed Pokemon Sun with only a Popplio. There are two other required catches; a random mon to enter Po Town, and the Box legendary. There were some challenging fights (Totem Lurantis and Guzma), but otherwise it was fairly simple. I had a lot of fun creating strategies for the run as well.
I wrote most of my actual thoughts about Gen 7 under my Moon journal entry.
