Lets look at the positives:
Battling wise it is a step down but it doesn't look too bad. Did I also mention NO MORE FUCKING ZUBATS!!!
- Pokemon follow you again
- You can ride your Pokemon
- You don't have to keep battling a bunch of Caterpie and Weedle to get that Pikachu because its now in the open
- We can once again Catch 'em all with it only being 151
- Colourful and not washed out like the 3DS games
- NO MORE FUCKING ZUBATS EVERY STEP!!!!
Also, no more HM moves is a strong positive.
Idk how that 151 thing is a positive though. There's only one new Pokemon in this game, which is really sad. I mean it's fine, it's just a remake and there's a game next year with new Pokemon, but it would have been nice if the Pokemon debut on Switch would have had new Pokemon.
