>kept bottle caps Weird, it's almost like retaining features is a good thing
>raids are actually a fun mechanic The first few times, maybe. Once you get to the higher tiers it's a dragged out stallfest
>introduces XP candies and mintsI mean, cool for meta shit, but subpar for main game unless you're looking for an ever easier railroading experience
>less story than Gen 7: lillie: the experienceIs this a bad thing? Lillie was a nice character, and since the status quo can never be broken for the faceless, wordless MC, it makes sense to follow the plot of another characters that's allowed to be fleshed out
>Dynamax is better than megas and Z movesNot really, the moves are less flashy than Z moves, and the forms less interesting than/basically the same megas, except they last 3 turns, are cosmetic only, and have limited use. In battle they're the same stationary chess pieces they've always been, nothing changes.
>solid waifusQuite literally every game has solid waifus, kind of a moot point
>solid pokemonSame as above
Put simple anon, it's subpar, "just another pokemon game". I don't hate it for taking away things I like, I hate it for taking away things like, telling me it was for a good/productive reason, and adding next to nothing in return. I've been holding out on "THE console pokemon game" to come out and finally shake things up, and it didn't, it's just more of the same, but now in varied 720p.
