Comp battling is kinda ass and hard to redeem at this point because dynamaxing is retarded, but that's just my hot take
Literally the single worst battle tower in the history of the franchise
Leveling / Training mons is a lot more player friendly and you can make a competitive team in no time
Still had my share of fun with it, making competitive teams, battle tower meme teams, hunting shinies and grinding raids.
Not much of a story person, usually just rush through that shit asap and then just get myself set up to make competitive teams, but the story is a downgrade from last gen.
All in all a very disappointing new gen and a huge letdown, USUM were fucking great and had a ton of fun features, an amazing battle tree, and Z-moves + megas were better for the competitive meta than the trainwreck that is dynamaxing.
Also it's missing both my favourite mons, which isn't a huge deal but sucks regardless.
I'd unironically say wait for the DLC, see if that maybe makes the games worth it more (even though you'd have to pay extra), right now I'd rather play USUM.
