i am very mixed on this game personally. it is a good example of a twist on an older game, but not a great one. it is a very fun game with many interesting new features such as the pokemon go inspired catching method, pokemon in the overworld and the reintroduction of mega evolution keep this kanto game fresh and really fun, but it suffers from a lack of content outside the very linear story, no safari zone, almost no post game and a quite low difficulty level, also i wish i could evolve my pikachu. this is a very good game though
