>>59009984>Off tune trumpets in your ear the whole timePlug in some headphones or speakers and it sounds fantastic, the built in speakers are not the best.
>Most of the new Pokemon suck except for like salamenceAesthetically not my favorite Pokedex but it's still full of favorites like Sableye, Chimecho, Seviper, etc. If you're talking battling, you have another pseudo who is fantastic, all the legends are very powerful.
>Most of the old Pokemon they put in the game also suckAlakazam, Starmie, Gyarados are all good, what are you on?
>Only one of the starters is good at allAesthetically they get the job done, gameplay wise Swampert is one of the best, Blaziken is a bit of a glass cannon but one-shots most things, Sceptile is not the best but has the best attacking grass move in the game.
>Too much waterIt's like two routes and they are filled with interesting things to explore. You could argue it drags in that section but that's quite subjective.
>Every other encounter is a fucking wingullAgain only in the water section and you can repel if you don't want to spend a couple seconds one-shoting it.
You should actually play the game instead of repeating talking points you hear on youtube and superficially looking at the roster. It's a very well balances, thought out game with fun Pokemon to try out.
