>>39281084Same as before, decent but lacking like the other 3DS games. I was mostly fine with the new Pokemon/story/region/characters. The cutscenes would have been much better if they were shorter and skippable, but I didn't hate them for a first playthrough.
It's dragged down by once again being baby-tier difficulty with every trainer having 1-2 Pokemon, with even lvl 40 Ratattas later in the game and having almost no worthwhile post game again. USUM's Rainbow Rocket turned out way shitter than I expected too, being just a short boss gauntlet and that's it.
Still a fair bit better than XY, but the lack of any challenge in the story and basically no post game yet again still killed my interest in playing much after finishing the story and doing what bare minimum extra there was to do. I used to put hundreds of hours into raising more Pokemon and doing post game stuff. Haven't done that since gen 5.
