if you play this for the gameplay and not just for the content variety then you're probably not very bright
the content variety, aesthetic, worldbuilding, etc, all top-notch, decent enough storytelling too, but the gameplay is ass
the real challenge is in the party-building metagame to be fair, not the battle system proper, but even the metagame is trash, it's literally just scope out what you'll be up against and withdraw / catch a type advantage, that's the entire challenge throughout the entire game, there's a level curve of course but no real difficulty curve
