The game feels very unpolished and a bit jank, but similar to Legends Arceus, it's some of the most fun I've had with Pokemon in a long time.
The gameplay loop and the co-op are just a blast. Open world really suits this series. I do wish all the objectives scaled though, because even if you do a higher level challenge first, you gotta go back and do the lower level ones and they are too easy.
I do wish stealth catching was brought back but I've caught 340 of them and haven't had too much of an issue with it.
I didn't encounter too many issues besides framedrops. Apparently the game plays better off a physical copy or the system memory, so if you're playing off an SD card and getting a literal slideshow I recommend changing it.
I really wish Gamefreak would get more time with these games. There's clearly a hint that this could be something amazing, but sadly you can tell how unpolished it is every time you play. I don't really think the game is unfinished though. There's 4 stories and they all feel as complete as they will get. It just needs an iron to get the wrinkles out.
