I've had to do less repetitive grinding in most mmorpgs I've played, and at least in those I got to see different locales instead of vaporwave bootleg copies of the same city I was stuck in the entire base game. Not even a single new Pokemon, just a handful of new Mega forms, which you have to grind the same levels over and over for a RNG chance at trying to make something unique appear. Not to mention an even insanely smaller chance to get one of the items needed to evolve a Pokemon like Charcadet into the other form you didn't pick.

In every other Switch Pokemon game I would have finished my Pokedex by now.
