>You are free to prepare the way you want to Gym Leaders since there are no roadblocks>In the same vein, an omni-HM mount is given to you at the start. Maybe you have to unlock its capabilities though, which would be clever game design.>Story is pretty much split into three (if I had to guess, League, Evil Team story, Research like in PLA?), basically letting you have your own experience without bothering with shit you don't care for>Pokemon Centers, battles and multiplayer have no transitions which leads to smoother gameplay. also saw a minimap>The gimmick is much deeper than anything before, though slightly less balanced than Z-Moves. It's the only one of the four that feel like it could be a series staple, since it doesn't require an item/connection to the region (I think?)>Raids are still in and now as a reasonable pace it seems. Don't really know how it's going to work, hope it's not too much like Goshit.The only thing that has yet to be confirmed for it to be a very good Pokémon game is a great, good ol' battle facility.
