Story is braindead and tons of puntable characters. The starters are retarded and ""evolve"" to story beats so they're mandatory to keep on your team.
Dev team also fucked up by taking designs lent to them and plastering them on a shitty p2w mobile runner game without compensating the artists ao now they have to design their own subpar shit for the ""dlc"" iirc they also made some really shitty recolors of Glaceon and Leafeon to celebrate diaper remakes.
