Played for the first time in 2023, and I only got through Sonic’s story, but I gotta say, if it weren’t for all the bugs and glitches, I don’t think this would’ve been bad. I can definitely see the potential. That said, it is beyond broken.

Probably the worst mainline Pokémon game tbh…
Some of the best new Pokémon designs, and I love mega evolutions, but the gameplay has never been more stale, and despite being in 3D for the first time, most of the characters and Pokémon animations and poses seem so lifeless and boring.
That being said I love the design of the Kalos region and am excited to see it revisited in a future game

This game is mindless, in the best way possible. The whole game can be played just using the analog stick (besides hitting A for menu selections).
Love putting on a podcast, or a tv show and playing this while listening/watching. Tons of unique characters to unlock, each with their own unique ability
