This was the last pokemon game I played, and it was pretty good. Definitely seems better than any of the games released on switch (Besides Arceus). This was the last game they allowed you to turn off the broken exp share, and it gave a pretty solid challenge throughout. It's nice to see 3D trainer models finally appear (It's frankly baffling that something so simple couldn't have made it into generation 6, but I digress). The game has a decent postgame but man am I tired of these Battle tower/tree/manor/whatever. It's so lazy, just a bunch of battles and then a final, slightly harder one at the end. Whatever happened to the battle frontiers in Gen 4? with all the cool battle modes that would keep me playing those games for 100s of hours? At least you could encounter characters from other games in this one, it made it a bit more interesting.
