At least it can go back to PLA, I'm kinda surprised they allowed that, thought the transfer from gen 8 to 9 would be one way.

didn't play PLA at release. played SV first and thought it was fine but then played PLA for the first time right after and was blown away by how much higher quality it was

i played it for 30 minutes and when i realised the whole thing was going to be fetch quests i just stopped. good thing i emulated it before release instead of paying for it like a chump.

That's about as many as you need to catch to 100% the pokedex and get to the bonus boss.

As a spin-off, it can be subjectively the best pokemon game ever made or the worst. Both views would be correct. It depends if you're bored of the normal pokemon formula or not.
As a Pokemon game though, Gen 9 is objectively vastly superior.

No, it wasn't. It's a cutscene fest padded out with non-engaging "missions" like watch Bidoof bite 5 times. New areas are locked behind these and trainer battles are scarce not that you'd want to do them anyways with the shitty battle system.
The game has 0 replay value and only appeals to shiny autists since you can find them relatively easy in it.

Anyone that calls PLA open world is the one that didn't play the game. The game is literally just GO but with a $60 pricetag. If you did not like GO then you won't like PLA

having more speed in the mainline games can just deny your opponent from playing the game while you outspeed and sweep them. versus agile letting you get off 2 attacks before you’re forced to take a hit in return no matter how fast you are.

I'm currently playing it and enjoying it very much. I love the more quiet and pensive ambience.
Besides the game mechanics and all that, the aesthetic direction of this game shows how much it actually matters in a videogame.
If it had dungeons to explore it would be my favourite pokemon game, but it is my favourite 3D one and top 5 overall.

Getting into Eterna Forest and hiding watching some psyducks hang around a small creek while the first chords of the Eterna Forest theme played made me, for a second, feel like I was finally playing that pokemon game I've always wanted as a child. Same while wandering around and hearing the midnight theme for the first time.
Tbh I felt bad about kids growing up today who had SS or SV as their pokemon games. But now I'm glad they have a good game like PLA
