>>54009342I loved PLA
Don't go in expecting anything like another pokemon game.
There is a pure joy in studying, catching, and befriending all the wild pokemon you can find. Learning their characteristics and behaviors, the times the rare ones appear, the best way to catch certain ones, and of course the difference battling system actually allows for quicker battles that don't waste your time.
You can go for the different style of moves like agile style first then you immediately get to move again and you go for strong style.
Opponent didn't get to move, you win the encounter. Speeds up a lot of shit. But also the animations for moves are really good.
The best part of the game is just exploring and collecting and living in this world of pokemon as wild, dangerous animals.
It is unlike anything else out there. Bottom line I had the most fun playing PLA of any pokemon game since I was a child.
Also the hisuian forms are some of my favorite mons period.
