I'm aware the game is universally lambasted but I'm having so much fun with it.

I was battling some woman and a group of five smolives walked by in the background and I noticed one of them had a black olive instead of a green one. After I won against the woman I ran up to the little one with the black olive and it was indeed a shiny. I named her Madeline.

The woman in the city who rates your pokemon's size says I have the thiccest jigglypuff she's ever seen.

Sending out my tandemaus couple for the hundredth time only to find that they've started a family

is probably the most fun surprise I've ever had playing a pokemon game.

    Nah, these games are awful regardless of the performance issues. The open world is bland and empty. There are no interiors to explore. You can’t enter houses or buildings anymore and the shops and pokecenters have been replaced with a menu. All 8 gyms have the same recycled design.

    They fucked the difficulty even more by removing set battles. Still can’t disable experience share. The open world concept falls apart if you do any of the gyms out of order, as you become massively overleveled. Like being able to do the gyms in any order is one of the main features of this gen and it doesn’t even fucking work lmao.

    I thought I was going crazy that no one else here was acknowledging any of this and insisting it was great beyond the jank. I was wondering if it was because Im so used to mmos and tripple AAA open worlds and even played the Crystal Clear that was linked further down so the dream senario of finally having an open world pokmon game didn't really impress me like it seemed to everyone else here? But someone else seems to think its a better story then black and white so maybe thats it?
