A really great game, the best Pokemon has been since Alola, the issue is the technical problems that come with this entry. It's very clear almost from the getgo that the project was rushed to fit the holiday season. Which is honestly a shame.

I get why they do it, because the Pokemon game has to match up with the toys and the anime and the cards and all the other things that have made Pokemon a multi billion dollar conglomerate. But maybe, just maybe, delay the game for a few months? You could have the anime be an advertisement for the games, like in the old days. Pokemon always has had a winning formula to some degree or another. This one just needed some time in the oven to really optimize performance. But based on sales records, it's pretty clear that people are willing to look past bugs if the game is actually fun.
