This game's like, not good. The puzzles are so dumbed down and easy enough for a child to solve. Almost every puzzle boils into, walk into room, interact with something that literally has the answer just written on it word for word, then input it into whatever puzzle is presented.
The story is hardly compelling until Journey into Lost Memories where I feel like there are characters that are worth getting invested in. The Trace Memory half is so stale and boring I almost didn't even feel compelled to finish the collection.
The voice acting is, really bad, at least the direction is, every character sounds like they're reading off a script and I can't speak for the translation but the dialogue feels like it was translated by a machine.
If you're desperate for a VN/puzzle game then go for it I guess but if you have the means I'd wager the DS/Wii versions are the superior way to experience these judging from what I've seen others say.

Been 4 years since I played it and man I gotta say this game manages to be the most cumbersome game at times. Online experience (trying to get real people for Max Raids or trying to do surprise trades) is absolutely bogged down by multiple bots and hacked Pokemon that massively take away from the experience you'd have at launch. Wild Area is still gross looking, barren, and empty. Character designs are still this game's biggest saving grace. The finale against Eternatus is still the coolest part of this entire game.
The added on DLC does help a little in terms of QoL such as expanded Pokemon availability and ability to give GMax to any Pokemon, and Isle of Armor at least has the foresight to scale levels based on whether you've beaten the game or not, but Crown Tundra is broken beyond belief. You can run in, lose to Peony, then go get a free Level 70 Suicune to make a joke of the entire campaign, AND you can keep going into DMax Adventures to get a full team of Lvl 70 legendaries quite literally as soon as you hit the Wild Area in the main campaign if you choose to, because Pokemon will still listen to you because they aren't traded over.

I don't have a good enough review so I'll just list the fun facts I remember.

Absolutely fantastic game. I saw it for sale online for $20 and thought "What the hell?" I've been into the monster collecting genre for a long time and have been trying to find something that scratches that itch like old Pokemon games did for me back in the day. This game absolutely delivers. The monster designs, the difficulty, the story, the writing, all of it are what kept me enthralled as I played. If you enjoy games like Pokemon you owe it to yourself to give this game a try, you won't regret it.
