That said. I don't really have an issue with eccentric gym leaders being cringe when it doesn't feel like the game wants you to think the character is cool. Gen8 was way worse with that.
>>53706588>was the budget for this game 4 fucking dollers? This might be the least cinematic cutscene I've ever seen in my lifeEverything's happening in the open-world for the first time in the series. I guess we can't expect good looking cutscenes and combat animations right away.
