I hated SWSH, Sun and Moon, X and Y, but this is genuinely much better than all of those games. Don't get me wrong, it's not one of the best games ever made, but it's certainly average or slightly above average. It's like a shitty BOTW with Pokemon in it. That's it. But is it literal absolute dogshit? Not in the slightest. Don't buy it but emulate/pirate it. It's genuinely fun at times but the grinding sucks a bit.
