As for buying the game, I felt the same way as you and expected the game to suck fucking hard. I have close to 50 hours logged and still haven’t finished the main story. I’m having fun just running around the Wild catching as many as possible and doing Raids. Plus the girls are cute.
I would say that if you enjoy the franchise and don’t care about /vp/ calling you a faggot then buy it. It’s certainly not the best Pokémon game ever released but it’s enjoyable enough that I do not regret my purchase.
