>>50527197>The PokemonThere's a-lot of designs here that I like, specifically among the new Steel and Fairy types. Corvinight, Grimsnarl, Hat, the dogs, Duraludon and Dragapult. Nice to see continued use of Regional Variants too.
>The charactersI love the League Cards as a way to develop characters as local celebrities.
>The game(s)Gym Challenge is great, even just as a premise. The sound direction for the Gym Battles is fantastic, and all of the fights are nicely staged. Eternatus Battle was a great final setpiece, nice to see the "3rd" Pokemon just part of the main story instead of selling a whole other game. Love how Leon's battle incorporates the Hall of Fame music in.
Game has weird presentation issues, like the stiff animations in battle or even in camp. Reusing the 3DS animations is a bad look after all of their PR. Wild Area also looks unpolished, though I do like the concept. Pokedex cut and everything surrounding Home is a huge blow to my investment. Cities feels less substantive than the 3DS games despite the move to consoles. And when compared to old console games like Stadium, there's just not much content or modes to play in.
Overall game has several redeeming qualities, but flaws are becoming hard to overlook.
