Where to start. ....

This game is buggy. Very buggy. How can a game, from a studio like this, from a publisher like this, be so buggy.
Framerate drops everywhere and also the game crashed from time to time.

Maybe they will fix it someday. But the core game doesn't impress me too. You start at a academy, where you could have a school life. But they decide to send you on a journey to do what ever you want to do. But that's not true.
You can choose if you want to become a PokemonChampion OR to beat Team Star OR to find the legendary spices. But after you beat one of those roads, you still have to do the other two.
So there is no this or that. There is only "what first?" . And not even that! If you choose the wrong side of the map, Pokemon are to high levelt and beat everything out of you. So, all in all, there was never a desicion you can make.

While you're exploring the way to get to another point you can find items and pokemon. Special items you're asking? No. Just everything you can buy at a supermarket. With the money you have earned. And you will get MUCH money.
So exploring is not necessary either.

Soundtrack is a coinflip too. It can sound good, but it also can sound very cruel.

What else did I forgot to rage about?
Ah of course. You can have a picknick with your pokemons. Clean them, make a special sandwich to get a better status to catch a special kind of pokemon. But did you need that? No. You just buy 99 Ultraballs and throw the shit out of these pokemonsters.

So yes. All in all it was a big dissapointment. I guess hardcore fans still have fun with this game and try to complete the Pokedex, but I was really bored fast.

I can tell you: Game Freak won't fix it. Maybe some bugs but not all of them. Look Sword/Shield... It still has big bug there

Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. But that's how it is. Why should GameFreak change anything, while people buy it anyway? I learned my lesson now. I'm done preordering this games.
