>>52604721I’ve been playing for 2 days straight now, just got my first gym badge 8 hours in and I can definitely say that I agree, it’s the Pokémon I’ve wanted since I first played Pokémon as a kid.
The game is absolutely buggy and unfinished
the corner cutting is truly disgusting yet again, probably at its worst here but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t having lots of fun anyway. They incorporated an absolute TON of ideas that I’ve wanted to see implemented into the series at some point, so this gen really feels like it’s tailored towards me personally. Plus, between the 3 stories, the school stuff, and all the exploration, there’s just a ton of content in general. And that’s all I’ve really ever wanted, a Pokémon game I could actually sink my teeth into for a while. The linear Pokémon games, ESPECIALLY SwSh, always felt like they were over too fast, I’d finish them before I really started to get into them. This time around tho, I bet it’ll be a WHILE before I’m anywhere near done the campaign.
