>>49481010I've got about 15 hours game play so far, barely progressed the story. Main observation is they are showing you how Pokemon COULD go. The fact you can run and duck and dive around… in a turn based battle? For no reason? They can't leave behind the old mechanics, but they can begin to show you how they could take it in new directions. Gradually, one step at a time. SwSH was a tech demo for "wild areas". PLA is a tech demo a game based entirely in wild areas. In a few games time they may start delivering more well realised 3D environments, dungeons, puzzles etc. But not yet. Remember, BOTW had no dungeons either. PLA is still an "early days" trial of new developments. The more complex intricacies of older gens will be worked into these new formats over time. At least, thus much such is my, as you say, assumption.
