I don't have a vast history with Pokémon games, so I think that prevented me from being too disappointed with the many bugs and unsatisfying aspects of this title.

I honestly thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. The world was ugly, but I found roving around the empty land on my motorcycle Pokémon through hordes of wild creatures very charming. I thought the gym leaders were all interesting design-wise, but I found the gym challenges frustrating and pointless. The Team STAR anti-bullying PSA was lame, and I hated the dorky characters the storyline focused on. The terestalize gimmick was AWFUL. Tera raids are excruciating and horribly designed. You can tell there were a lot of good ideas here that just didn't have the time to become fully fleshed out game mechanics.

The highlight of the game was definitely Arven and the Titan arc. I never would have imagined finding his character so endearing, but by the end he was really the only aspect of the game I cared about.

There's still endgame content like legendaries, competitive PVP, shiny hunting, etc., but I think my game ends with the story. Had a fun time!
