>>41484262My only positive about this game are the wild areas and how gyms were handled. The wild area is fucking great, first time here and running into these strong as fuck pokemon and getting fucked is a great feeling. Things like Bewear, Drapion, Corviknight and other scary shit aren't rare at all. The game has no problems throwing them at you and I love it. I disliked Alola and their trials (felt really childish and like I was at summer camp). So gyms returning like this was fun. The battles are easy but the music is great and they get hyped up so much you can't help but join in. Some of the puzzles are pretty cool, I liked the rock one in particular.
But every else I was let down by. The towns and overall lack of exploration as a whole. The wild areas does not compensate for that at all if GF though it would. More about towns, they're very pretty, but simply do not feel like an actual town or city. Wydon felt 100% designed to be some flash amusement park. Compare that to Castelia, a city that's also flashy, but also still felt like an actual city where people live and work
