>>51237794>pros>see the mons interact with the environment and each other in a mainline game>more dynamic combat and an actual new mechanic>actual new catching mechanic>but most of the QoL features pokemon has compared to other rpgs remain>side quests centered on pokemon individualityRegarding difficulty, its probably harder than gen 5, very reasonable game, even if it might be still on the easy side compared to non-pokemon games. Specially if you challenge yourself a bit like not using "continues" in boss fights and want to actually get to catching Arceus.
>cons>characters aren't as developed as post gen 4 games>barely any story>you can get the ocasional graphic glitch>there are clearly rough edges in the gameplay, like Agile style being practically useless
