It's not what I wanted.

But it is something I didn't know would be as good as it is.

I'd like to see large portions of the changes from this game, incorporated to the main games, because that'd be a lot more fun for an actual game.

The game play is pretty stretched. If someone told me this game was meant to be a proof of concept, I'd say they did a good job, it's a solid concept.

The short hand is, if you're looking for a bit of a time sink, and a fairly refined game, you're gonna like this. If you're looking for deep competitive combat where you fight lots of trainers, you will like it less. But if you're willing to set that aside, it's not awful.

It's still a game that a company like GameFreak could have done better.

I'd give it a fairly high end 7 / 10. Where for reference, SW/SH are maybe a 4 / 10, Sun And Moon are about a low 6 / 10, X/Y are a low 6, and Black/White 2 (What I'd say are the best games) are about a 9.

Edit because clarifying something: I went into this game expecting it to be fucking terrible. I'm happy it's as good as it is.
