This game has the meat of the best pokemon game to ever exist hidden in here somewhere. The new pokemon designs keep being amazing. That being said, I have never played even a Pokemon fan game that runs like the pile of gravel this game runs like and its frankly embarrassing. I really hope the patch starts to fix some of the problems with this but it wouldn't fix everything. Nintendo finally had a chance to do a legit open world style game but nope, its pretty much do it in somewhat linear order or you will either be pounded into mulch or be super over leveled. All I wanted was a Skyrim like leveling system in a Pokemon game if they were going to do open world traditional pokemon. PLA failed for me in the same ways and was a technical mess as well but not anywhere near this bad.

As much as I liked this game it was really hard to not get lost in the sauce playing this, especially in the late half. Its also weird seeing how much of the design philosophy carried over from this game into Bayo 3. Still really fun just gets worse and worse as it goes and the side stuff is tedious and pointless.

Man when this game is good its real good. When its not its really not good. The story is a bunch of garbage and I almost can overlook that if I wasn't playing as a character that I hate to play as a quarter of the time. Or if Jeanne's levels didn't also suck. Or if all the skill trees for all the weapons didn't feel exactly the same. Its still fine and playable enough just was expecting more with such a long wait. I legit think i would have had more fun skipping the cutscenes in their entirety.

This game is just a blast to play with friends. Its easy enough to pick up and play that you can make something happen even if traditional fighting games aren't really your speed. Eternally afraid of playing this game online, there are some real good people who play this game online. Also a real godsend that the DLC characters are free. I really hate picking up a game like this only to find out you have to shill out a whole other games worth of money to get the whole cast.
