Wild you have to pay $60 plus tax for a worse experience than just "acquiring" the game on a PC. Played start to finish on Ryujinx and didn't have anything even remotely like the glitch fest on Switch. Frame rate issues in busy areas but other than that not a single graphical or other type of glitch. The Switch really is an utterly useless device.

As a Pokemon game, it's pretty good! Way better than Sword and Shield, but the current bar for a new Pokemon game's quality is underground at this point. I like most of the new designs, the semi sandbox structure is fun and I liked figuring out the order to tackle the various challenges. The story is probably the only one I cared about in a Pokemon game since Black & White, and the cast of characters are genuinely fun.

I never thought I'd have this much actual fun with a Pokemon game again so I gotta give it credit for that. Game Freak is still a one step forward / two steps back dev but at this point I'm not sure how much of it is their lack of skill and how much of it is their ridiculous deadlines. Really, less than a year after Legends Arceus?

Check it out if you like Pokemon and wanna have a pretty fun time. Uh, maybe don't play it on Switch though.
