    I meant its okay... I go long periods without playing it. It's definitely got a different feel to it from previous GB, GBA, Nintendo DS versions.

    Enjoyed the story but the bugs ruin the game. Like how can a AAA title in 22 be this awfully ready for mass market at release

    The game isn't bad, but the biggest issue is it's lack of accessibility, so the camera speed is sickening and the game just needs a little more thought put into it.

    Yes it's a bit buggy but the first true open world Pokemon game. A few eggs must be broken. Ive enjoyed the heck out of this game.

    This game proves that the Pokémon company does not care about its fans anymore. It’s just become another cash grab product from a greedy company obsessed with sales rather than creating a masterpiece like it’s earlier titles. Massively disappointed considering how much faith I had in the Pokémon franchise when it came to quality and care. Most likely won’t be purchasing anymore Pokémon games after this unfortunately.

    This game was big. Overall exploration and the plot were better from the previous versions. Very glitchy though.

    Great game. Very buggy but it's a lot of fun. The most fun Pokemon game besides maybe Legends Arceus. Great game.
