There's a lot to love about this game. I didn't expect to enjoy the story, but it gets pretty interesting and exciting at the end. There's plenty of great quality of life features, and an open world filled with Pokemon is amazing. Changing types is also my favorite generational gimmick so far.

I just wish this game was finished! The bugs and frame drops were too frequent for me to look past. While there's plenty of new ideas, I didn't find myself engaging with some of them as I found them lame or boring. And I think I don't really like traditional Pokemon battles nearly as much as I used to.

Still, I'm glad this game made so many steps in the right direction. With a bit more polish, it would've been great.
