>>43799670here’s the positive feedback I can give after having collected 10 badges and beaten the e4:
tradeback guy so you can evolve trade only mons
shows you your mons’ hidden power type/power upfront
better gym scaling in the late game and rematch option so you can experience each gym at its hardest
move tutors and tm vendors that make getting extremely niche or rare moves on mons easier (event/gen1 exclusive/egg)
here’s the cons:
the cringe oc characters and music replacing the e4 *this was absolutely a deal breaker for me and I just stopped playing after beating them*
the vast majority of npcs look like complete dogshit because they applied their 2-tone character customization to them all for some reason (the black characters look really bad but this is not a racial issue)
some really stupid rebalancing that reeks of “I know better” with a move tutor that teaches mons moves they shouldn’t be able to know
