![]() ![]() In that game, we as a player have a reason to go out and explore. I feel that The Legend of Zelda – Breath of the Wild did it a lot better. It feels like an afterthought, a way to get the player to point A to B. When will we see the evil team actually being evil or being a danger to the player? That’s what I feel that the story in this game is missing. There is no actual reason to interact with Team Star besides for the story. We never see Team Star take over a village or do something. But, the annoying thing is that the gameplay behind that turns into almost additional gym battles. After you have beaten them, you get some backstory and during the start of the treasure hunt… You get challenged to take down their bases. You fight two grunts that are causing a small bit of ruckus. Your first encounter is at the school gates. Let’s keep with the evil team, Team Star, as an example. But, I’m convinced that you can do more than what this game does. Since, you never know where the player is going to go next and if you lead the player too much, they might feel that the game is too linear and scripted. I totally understand that it’s difficult to create an open world game and having a story that really pulls you in. On top of that, their bases are generic, I have a hard time telling their bases apart. Besides your first interaction with them, they barely do anything outside their bases. If only they did a bit more to stand out. No, this time it’s a team of students that ran away from school. Yes, the evil team this time around isn’t just your cheerleading squad for one of the major side characters. There is no real tension, no real line to pull you into the story. My biggest problem with the story is that it’s too tame most of the time. The story is more aimed at young children and teens. If you expect a more mature Pokémon game story, you won’t find it here. In terms of writing, this game is fine for what it sets out to do. This is a nice change of pace and adds a bit more depth to the game. But, in this game, we also have a third story line. ![]() Basically, taking on the evil team of the game. The second story line is what I call the “Team Rocket” story line. The first story line is your journey to become a Pokémon Master, by defeating the 8 gyms spread across the region and then taking on the Pokémon League. Two out of the three story lines are your typical Pokémon affair. Whilst you want to start your treasure hunt, you get introduced to the three different story lines that will go on. This treasure hunt is sort of a final exam / field expedition. You meet your rival on your way to school and not too long after, you get introduced to the actual main story of this game. The introduction in this game is something you’d expect from a Pokémon game.Īfter the headmaster visits you, you can pick your starter Pokémon and go attend school. It doesn’t take long before your usual adventure in the Paldea region starts. In this game, you play as a student who enrolls into the local Academy. Since, this game is something else… It split the fanbase into two camps, and I want to talk about it. And of course, I’m going to invite you to leave a comment in the comment section down below with your thoughts and/or opinions on the game and/or the content of this article. ![]() In the meantime, I have almost completed the game but since I haven’t, this is going to be a first impression. So, this week I decided to give myself time till my writing day and then sit down and give my opinion on this game. What’s going on? Is this game the first Pokémon game I’m going to drop or did I get distracted? Well, I have some opinions on this game and I wanted to talk about this game… but, I was unable to find the right words or a great angle to write about this game. But, we are now over half a year later, and I haven’t beaten the game yet. Honestly, I expected myself beating this game a lot sooner. It has been a while since the latest Pokémon game came out.
