The story is uninspired; I mean, it's not what I pick Pokemon up for but man literal bare bones on this one even for Pokemon's light standards. Literally go circles around the region with no evil team to even spice things up. No, Marnies' fat goons don't count. Marnies' brother is pretty cool tho. They streamline training Pokemon for competitive purposes though.

Gigantamaxing is the lamest gimmick so far in the series. They should have just stuck with Mega-Evolution and expanded on it. Out of all the mechanics they've introduced in the new 3D era of Pokemon, Mega Evolution has always felt like the proper step forward. Z-moves are cool too and I liked the games that contained the combination of the two. This though... it's stupid. And I know the next games, Scarlet & Violet, have an even weirder gimmick that I'm not currently interested in either but I'll save that for when I get to it. The world map was nice. The rival always takes a loss like he just buries his frustration deep down and will eventually lose his shit in what I can only imagine will be an incredibly comedic manner in the future. The titular legendaries are just okay. "Dog with a sword in it's mouth" honestly sounds like a stupid design for this series and is something that would fit better in Digimon (a series I love more). Shield legendary looked decent at least as it's design actually had the shield incorporated into it rather than stupidly holding it somewhere. Nothing about this game really stuck out. Villain was lame. The big bad legendary at the end didn't leave any sort of impact. The whole experience was as lukewarm as it gets. 5 or 6 out of 10. DLC EXPANSIONS: The DLC expansions on their own are an 8 out of 10 and felt much more like the experience I wanted going into this. I'm probably very biased, but I love hunting down the legendary Pokemon no matter which game it is, and that's exactly what the expansion gave me but in a more engaging way. The DLC brings the overall score up and is the most memorable experience of the game. Without the DLC this game would be incredibly forgettable.

I liked being able to explore better than the old games and I'm glad they added some co-op to it.

As with all Pokemon games, the gameplay was fun and engaging, but it didn't do anything to improve on it
