If it wasn't for the constant amount of bugs, glitches, plainly embarrassing graphics and visuals, this would be one of my favorite entries in the Pokémon series. There's even more minor problems I can get into like the marketing of choosing your own journey is not ENITRELY true, but I often began to forgive these problems for the sheer amount of new stuff this game brings to the series.

There's so many positives. I still felt like I could go in mostly my own pace. The characters in this are actually memorable. The music is amazing as always. The new Pokémon introduced are mostly very good. The new mechanics are pretty interesting (except terraforming). Honestly, I wasn't bored ever with this game. Just keep in mind, this is coming from someone who is very forgiving, so you might see all the negatives in this game to be huge and distracting, which is vaild. However, I do appreciate that Gamefreak is finally changing the series up.

Also glad to see this gen has an equally amazing starter trio.
