Slight improvement from Pearl remake.
By So much VHS on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025
First I want to mention that this does seem like a improvement coming from the Pearl remake but first problem right out the gate i noticed is that Your character looks like a dork. Also character creation suck it's better than pearl but still. later in the game you can go to the hair salon to actually pick out different hairstyles that aren't in the character creation but it's like why didn't they add it in the character creation and they overcharge you $1,000 just for curly hair, 3,000 it's just insane the same thing with clothes they want to overcharge you $1,000 for a cap like who was in charge of that?! also This is the First real open world Pokémon game but unfortunately this world is not worth exploring. everything to me I'm this game just feels bare bones it's like they tried to do more but at the same time didn't really want to take the time to actually polish anything, for starters why is there no voice acting? a game like this i feel like they should have finally took those steps to, another problem I have with this is again characters Pokémon in my opinion just never had interesting characters I didn't care for anyone Overall it's a improvement from pearl remake but still suffers a little bit of the same problems I had with pearl like the world just feeling empty and not lived in i mean yeah there's people walking around but like no more than maybe five or six at a time I also just didn't have the energy to finish this one I was just too bored. if I had to rate this 1/10 it's gonna have to get a 4/10 which is below average on my scale they most definitely could have done better than this.
