Ok, so graphically and performance-wise, this isn't the best. But if you can get past that, there's a fun Pokémon adventure to be had here.

It's Pokémon, so you probably know what you're getting. But the open-world style encourages more exploration that previous entries in the series. There are three main "goals" that you can tackle in any order as and when you like, however I was often wandering off to see what I could find over that hill or round that corner or in that cave and easily got distracted from the main "story".

If you play this game, I'd really encourage you to do it at a leisurely pace. There's nothing wrong with blasting through the gyms etc, but if you take your time and explore the world, you'll get the most out of the game.
