>>30529373Here is how I feel as a guy who was extremely hyped for months:
Things I liked:
-Alolan Forms are a neat concept.
-Pokemon ride allows for less restrictive party members
-Small touches like sending a 7th pokemon to your party in exchange for someone in your current roster.
-Bringing back trainer customization.
-Pokepelago makes me feel less guilty about leaving a metric fuck ton of mons in the void of cyberspace.
-There are a lot of designs that I think are pretty neat for the newer mons.
Things that kinda bummed me out:
-While the story was enjoyable the first time around, knowing what happens and the idea that cutscenes aren't skippable kinda hurts replay value.
-Removal of Dexnav
-Catch rates and pokemon distribution is somewhat frustrating.
-Small details like bottle caps only effecting the stat and not the actual IV and require level 100.
-I miss my Blissey island exp farm.
-I really wish salandit had a male evolution.
-Everyone has said it already, but Vikivolts speed bros......
All in all, I don't think the games are that terrible. I'm kinda let down a little bit because the hype was someone the strongest I had seen for a pokemon game, but I had fun with these games.
