Why is this game so small?
We had rightful expectations of a massive, exploratory adventure (like every gen before 6, but better polished).
Instead we got an incredibly small world, with a ridiculously linear adventure. There wasn't a single fun, puzzling cave all game. Remember Cerulean Cave? Well you were likely too young for gen 1 so probably not, but even first dungeon Mt Moon was more challenging than Poni Canyon.
All the effort was poured into six hours of cutscenes. Being marketed towards 11yos, it wasn't a fantastic story that warranted 99% of the game being poured into it. There isn't good multiplayer to make up for it either to say the least.
An incredibly underwhelming, sad game for a 20 year anniversary. I'd rate it no more than 6/10 at most.
Take off your fanboy goggles and compare it to adventure rpgs.
