Okay so I want to reiterate that this game has been incredibly fun to watch a playthrough of so far, to the point where I almost wish I didn't and could have played myself. But unfortunately I've spoiled most of the story already. It's darker than your usual Pokémon game, even as a spinoff imo, and.. Spoiler Actually being able to go into a black market type of auction and make bids to retrieve stolen goods really caught me off guard, since the main series games removed gambling via Game Corner. Not what I expected to see at all lol. That arc in Detective Pikachu was amazing!!
I completed this entire game, and I really enjoyed it. However, I only have one real problem with it... Spoiler The ending was really disappointing and it left off on a cliffhanger. Though I hope the movie can clear this up. However, outside of that one problem, this game is fantastic. I enjoy the concept of a Pokémon mystery story.
I didn't play it myself b/c money, but I did watch let's plays of it. I must say, I thought the game was charming! The storyline was well-thought out and easy to follow. However, it also made it boring because it was so simple. There didn't seem to be a real challenge.
I've been thinking about getting it but the only friend I know that plays it says is pretty boring so I'm not sure if I should try it now.
It was a pretty good game, I thought it was fun, but I'm not sure it was really worth it for the price. If the price drops though, I'd say go for it.
I wanted to buy it, but after watching some Let's Plays, the game seems to be very simple so I won't play it.
