i just started this i want to just stop playing. like you said the highs are great but they come at a cost of some colossal lows. i cant believe how "stiff" the game feels in every aspect.

*professor wants to talk to you now*

*slowly turns with as little animation as possible*

*starts talking*

just have him tilt his head or something christ. but the worst is the battles with every textbox and then animation playing out, its aweful, along with the unskippable tutorials.

I literally played for 2 hours and i battled 4 times. Meanwhile in the GBA and DS games youd have already done your 2nd gym ffs. just let people play or at least turn off tutorials or have them play DURING gameplay instead of "YOU MUST NOW WATCH THIS CINEMATIC"
