>>49574971I've played for like 5 hours, its "fun" in the sense that you have a lot of freedon to wander and explore, but there isn't a lot to do other than catch and battle wild pokemon, or do the story. The story has been meh so far, the boss battles are really boring because they're not really pokemon vs pokemon and because we still have exp for catching, eating, and breathing if you explore and fill the dex, you become overleveled fast.
I also hate the "new" combat, which is the same as the old battle system but with a turn order which means you have to use quick attack or similar or else the opponent will hit you 2 or 3 times in a row, which is infuriating.
Overall the game is a solid pokemon game, but in terms of mechanics and graphics, it needs a fuckton more polish. Alsi shiny pokemon are stupid common now, and the rates only go up.
