Understandable the game really targets the story towards young kids . I haven't played any of the recent games however this made me glad I hadn't.

Most of the core elements apart from the story lines were pretty good tbh . I had no problem with how the battles went , and the titans were quite cool to fight even though the story was still quite cheesy .

However , both the gym's and the star battles as whole were very excruciating to sit through , I thoroughly didn't enjoy finding out what the secret menu item was or giving a man his wallet . I understand it's a new age were the villains aren't actually villains but Jesus Christ there was maybe one guy out of like 12 who wasn't a 'Saint' and he was just a bore , so on the whole the gym trials were boring and tedious and the fights were just like normal .

Team star was no better however, not once did I care about them or their story as it really wasn't engaging or shown at all . But we did intact get a monologue about friendship after we defeated each one with a little 1.5 year flashback and don't get me started on that stupid automatic fighting thing were you had to waste a couple of minutes just running around telling your Pokémon to attack 30 others .

Finally , the ENTIRE ending for all of the storylines may have been the worst part of the game . Taking on the elite four to then battle the greeta to then battling nemona was long even if you enjoy a good battle . To also having to battle director 'Clive' then battling penny and then having a 20 minute sequence were penny rambles on about friendship and then that gets resolved ( gosh never thought it would've been penny ) . I think if I had clomped Arven's storyline first I would've enjoyed that the most however I didn't therefore it was just another extension to my boredom . Sada's twist was the best of the many it kept me at least a bit entertained.

The things I hated most definitely were the cutscenes and all the photos taken after a getting a badge , that actually really pissed me off .
