This game was disappointing, to say the least. I was really excited for Gen 9 especially since it had a Spanish influence. The nonlinear open-world aspects were a nice change of pace and all the new Pokémon were cool. Despite those better aspects, this game is disappointing because of this many flaws: there were tons of bugs at launch, the story wasn't very interesting, and most importantly it didn't advance the franchise in any meaningful way, instead it felt like a soulless cash-grab entry. I'm a huge Pokémon fan but I think this game has killed some of my enjoyment: I didn't catch all the Pokémon and haven't played the DLC. If Gen 10 is anything like this game I might be done with the series.
