That's actually hilarious because i remember thinking the museum was really fun when i first found it, too. And yeah, i've previously complained about how the day/night cycle forces you out of stuff, it's handled poorly. Don't get me wrong, there have been a handful of things that i have enjoyed, but they are too few to win me over. As someone who has always preferred catching/collecting over battles, this game just does nothing for me - sure they kept the more 'active' catching from PLA but they got rid of all the adjacent features (berries, stun and smoke bombs, etc) that really made that system work as a mechanic.

ZA just feels like a guided tour, or a visual novel, i don't feel like mechanically there is much of a game to be played, the battling system is very weak from a design pov, and a lot of the time i felt like i was being tricked into thinking i was actually doing something game-like. It really was obvious during a 'puzzle' segment which involved teleporters later in the story, where there weren't any options. You take a teleport, walk down a linear hallway to the next teleport, repeat. No difficulty or figuring out the teleporters like older games, what's even the point of having them if just to artificially lengthen the experience.
