>>48702688Pros:
>soulfully animated gen 5 battle sprites>overall strong fakemon designs on par with the early-mid gen designs>decent difficulty if you don't turn on the exp share>good waifus (pic related)Cons:
>art style clash all over the place>janky-looking overworld sprites>thematically inconsistent "extreme biome checklist" region>starter forced on the player for plot reasons>some pokemon are straight-up unobtainable>edgy cliche "doomsday villain is trying to destroy the universe" plot>sound type with completely nonsense matchupsit's not fantastic, but it's not any worse than gens 7 and 8 either, and it's free. Definitely worth a go if you've got nothing better to do.
