>>41913395the game should net get credit for having HD graphics when its just the nature of the system its on. The game really looks about as good as SuMo do on their native screens
I always have trouble connecting to raids, and they really are easy to solo. A lv. 100 mon (not hard to get) will usually do the trick 90% of the time.
What do the Wild Areas have that allows them to remain fun beyond the first 20 minutes it takes to explore them? Most of the items you find aren't anything special, and the mon placement is arbitrary and mostly depends on if the weather happens to be good. Looking up a guide to find if I have the correct weather to catch a certain Pokémon isn't fun.
Overworld encounters are neat, but that's as far as they go. They aren't so special that it improves the game in any substantial way
The online sucks. It takes forever to find a trainer in ranked matches with the game occasionally not being able to find one like 25% of the time, and they only allow the specific formats the game wants you to play. Showdown finds you a game instantly, has a variety of formats, a real quantifiable ladder system, and allows you to try out tons of different teams through their teambuilder
