Real time transitions in the field to battles, capturing, trainer movement during battles, being able to let your Pokemon out to chill with you and each other, I'll be honest if they take some of these core mechanics away for Gen 9 I don't think I'd be able to accept it, this has to be the new standard.

This game is part of the main series. It’s just another branch of the main series just like the Let’s Go remakes. So when they eventually do a Let’s Go Shinoh they could eventually add the Hisuian evolutions and variants but in the modern age as a twist. Also, I still got to beat Let’s Go Eevee and hopefully they’ll make Let’s Go Johto too. Yet I may get Legends Arceus later. Yet I sort of want to see a futuristic Kanto region and Kantonian forms of older Pokémon.

[@WolffenBreon]

I got this game several weeks ago after holding off on pokemon since sword and shield. And I'm honestly having fun with it. Yes the open world can be a bit barren and the graphics are kind of meh, but if you're just looking for a casual open world pokemon experience with some new changes then you may enjoy this game. Just check out a walkthrough and see for yourself instead of blindly listening to people that have their standards set too high, it will cost you nothing and if the game isn't to your liking then all power to you! You just have to see for yourself.

[@coolcourd]

The game is amazing. there is a lot of content, many challenges, unlockables and plenty to explore. It has a ton of similarities to Breath of the Wild, but it does feel more like Pokemon. It was designed in a way that makes sense for kids while giving a lot to challenge adults. The biggest flaw is that there is way too much dialogue. I usually like to read the story, when I play games but I had to mash A. It is just too much, they really could have condensed it. The game was leaked and can be played with a switch emulator. I preordered the game and plan on replaying it all on the switch. If anyone reading this emulates the game I encourage you to preorder/buy it and support the development teams. :)

[@bassboylowg]

I'm 20 hours into it, and it is one of the best pokemon games yet. The way the pokedex works, and the accessibility to crafting your own items are huge benefits to the game. And the animations.. Holy smokes, the pokemon feel more alive than ever before, when one of your pokemon gets withdrawn after no HP, the enemy pokemon will look right at you like 'what're you gonna do huh?' And the Alpha pokemon are a legit threat and make you tip toe around using as much stealth as you can.

[@darshitrawat0112]

i loved that they ditched ivs and evs completely for introducting effort levels , effort levels can be gained using items and is really easy to make your pokemon strong, all you need is right nature. This means even if you can a pokemon late game it can as strong as your pokemon from the start. one thing did not love tho is item limit in your bag

I'm split about the game, I actually love that pokémon tries this sort of game. A lot of the mechanics and features look really interesting and cool, I love a lot of things they decided on, but from what I've seen in videos I'm a little dissapointed with how the world looks, it looks bland and lifeless/empty and the graphics don't look as nice. But maybe I was just hoping too much for the same lively, atmospheric and beautiful world of Breath of the wild, but with Pokémons. Still bought it and still going to play it though, the downsides don't outweigh the negatives for me imo. Also I'll have to actually play the game for a proper judgement

[@Erduk]

Even if there are tiny problems with the game, I'm still super happy with it because it means a new expectation has been set for Pokemon. There are small blemishes, but so what? It's one small step for gaming, one huge leap for Pokemon. If people support the idea with their wallets, imagine the NEXT game made like this. It has the potential to grow into the best video gaming series in the world if tended correctly.

[@kasperigronberg9836]

It looks alot better when you watch actual playtroughs in these trailers it looks kind of dull but in gameplay it look really good!
