Played this at launch and have done so a few more times since then. Enjoyed the game and love that you can hunt Shiny Pokémon easily in this version of the original Yellow Version. Seeing the Pokémon running in the wild and the animation style was cute and made the world more alive. The catching mechanics in this game are based on Pokémon GO and not the classic games, so all of your team gets EX from multiple catches or trainer battles. You still have 8 gyms and the Elite Four to defeat as you do in the classic games. Plus fighting Team Rocket and even Green in the post game.

Post game also allows you to challenge 153 Master Trainers, each one being a master of one Pokémon (including Mew, Meltan, and Melmetal). I beat a handful of these but ended up stopping due to boredom of grinding.

I have another run of this going that I haven't touched in a bit, but its a fun game to play once in a while.
