No spoilers again just my thoughts.
I put in a couple more hours at work and it's more of the same. The initial luster wore off and I'm kinda just seeing all the holes at this point. It's hard to explain but the game just feels really rushed and not fleshed out whatsoever. It feels like an indie game that got way too ambitious for it's own good, but at the same time it doesn't seem like it was developed with any kind of ambition at all. I know that doesn't make sense but when you play it you'll understand . It feels like a poorly done port.
The overall feel of the game is just low quality. It doesn't remind me of something that was built from the ground up to be a "killer app" for the Switch. It is nowhere near the scale of something like BOTW or Odyssey. I'm not a graphics snob whatsoever but the graphics in this aren't close to being optimized for the Switch. The cutscenes are poorly done. There is no voice acting, the background music/sounds don't match or set the mood. For example, there are scenes where you're inside a stadium for battles and the crowd is relatively silent. I've noticed typos/grammatical errors in the dialogue. I'm pretty sure there was a typo within the first few lines of the opening scene. I shrugged it off when I first saw it but looking back it was just foreshadowing the things to come. There are more things but I'm not trying to write an essay .
I'm not trying to bash the game at all and I've still been having fun with it. But I'm anticipating a huge backlash from a lot of people once the game officially drops. When it's all said and done, the toned-down Pokedex will be a smaller issue than the game itself.
Yeah some of that technical stuff can be patched out for sure. But I guess the point that I'm trying to make is that the game as a whole is barely a step above a Gameboy Pokemon game. I'm not a diehard fan, and don't follow Pokemon news closely at all, so maybe my expectations are way off. But when I heard this game get announced I expected it to be sort of like an Ocarina of Time, franchise-altering Pokemon game and it doesn't come anywhere close to that.I'm not defending it at all and don't even intend to pick it up, but a few of these feel like a Day 1 patch away from not being a thing anymore. That's pretty common nowadays with games that leak/review builds of games.
Maybe I'm too optimistic about their competency though

man imagine if they did thatI was really hoping it would use the BOTW engine for example and be a much more next gen Pokémon.
It actually is this go around, it doesn't have the drawbacks that it used tooShe said rare candy was a good way to level up your pokemon. I couldn't take her review seriously
This is crappy GameFreak we talking about here. If there's a day one patch it's only gonna be to fix something game breaking. They couldn't even make Gold and Silver right, Iwata (RIP) came in and fixed that game for them. GF been incompetent foreverI'm not defending it at all and don't even intend to pick it up, but a few of these feel like a Day 1 patch away from not being a thing anymore.

I got into hardcore poke battles and trust me half the folks who are buying this won’t be into it.
