terrible frame rates
poor draw distance and texture pop ins

Solid, some bits are better than pokemon sword, some are worse. I'd prefer scaling for a true whatever order you want kinda game

Not so great graphics and optimisation tbh. However, I haven’t had this much fun with a main series Pokémon game in years. If only they took some more time developing, could’ve been a 10 for me..

The ideas are real good, and some of the plots were really well written.
But the rest is an absolute mess.
The way in which those plot points were presented was terrible, and killed all momentum from the heartfelt scenes. The animations we're horrendous.
Then, the freedom to fight the big bosses is welcomed, but I absolutely dreaded the trials previous to the gym leaders. Omg what a non functioning steaming pile of garbage.
A shame overall that the technology could not keep up with the creativity, as it shows in the postgame (which clearly is the best section of the game)

Pd: The music isn't as good as in previous entries also

Story was good. Graphics were decent the games biggest problem were at launch the game had alot of glitches and issues. Now a year into the game and honestly some of the newer stuff that was added as updates as well as dlc was amazing. Trying to complete the pokedex is quite the challenge.

Update October 7th 2024 Pokedex completed.

i love the 3 part story u can choose where to go there is no set order of gym titans and team star and the plot twist of of the final
