>>42382547I did try the game after the DLC announcement and fucking hated it. It wasn't broken or anything, but just so dull, and I did not appreciate constantly being stopped or helped when it wasn't necessary. So by after the second gym I just simply didn't care to play anymore.
I also found the characters and music to be the weakest yet and map design felt shallow. I never felt rewarded for taking my time to look everywhere and talk to every NPC as they almost slways had nothing interesting to say or give. In general the game felt it had less substance to it than older entries and even the wild area got old after an hour. Maybe I'm just tired of the series or miss the pacing and sense of mystery and adventure of old games.
