This game hit my nostalgia buttons extremely effectively. Some thoughts:
- The exp share is a good change - pokemon games were always easy without self imposed rules, and the exp share makes it less of a hassle to keep your party level flat. You are overlevelled for the vast majority of the game, but the idea of not having those levels when you get to the elite 4 sounds awful.
- minor frustration with how the HM menu is accessed, especially if you are using other poketch apps.
- The duplo figures cracked me up, especially when they looked surprised. It definitely changed the tone of some of the cutscenes, but not necessarily in a bad way.
- the pokemon looked different to same gen pokemon games in a really nice, more cartoony way.
- The underground not having customisable secret bases is annoying. the greater range of pokemon available is cool.
