Preload unlocked yesterday and I started playing, with kinda low expectations because of all the bullshit hackers were talking about it. But they disappeared just after a few minutes into the game. It's full of both big and minor improvements. And even in the first hours of gameplay you can already notice some plot changes. Battle GUI and world look waaay better than in SM and minor changes like Rotomdex live-registering a Pokémon the first time you battle it give it a really nice atmosphere. I haven't even reached the "real new stuff" people talk about yet, could only play 2 hours so far because I have exams next week but I'm sure I'll cap the playtime counter again, can't wait. If you don't know if you should get the game because of all these faggots talking shit about it, go and get it, you won't regret, this is the ultimate Alola experience.
