So this is why they stick to weak, underpowered handhelds...

This is supposedly the full pokedex:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...IyolLH-KQRQjIG

738 total, but that includes the shiny models and variants (like male/female Pikachu), so less than 369 total.

Edit: Includes Unown too, so probably less than 300 total.

Edit2: not the complete list. Also, it includes normal Dialga as well as the new version.

LKD basically said "fuck it" and put out her impressions on the game:

Twitter has to be one of the least convenient places to write/read a review of all time

[Serra]

That review seems similar (if not a little toned down) to a lot of the comments I've seen elsewhere. People are visually disappointed but enjoying the gameplay.

Still not super interested in it, not sure if I'll end up picking it up this week.

This is getting good reviews and now I'm just confused whether I should get it

Any BGers tried it out yet??

[Greedouw]

Mine is arriving late of course.

I'm waiting for opinions here as well.

[Gokulo]

I'm not very far yet. The graphics are what they are, but I try not to pay too much attention to that. Gameplay seems fine for now, but nothing amazing. I am however quite annoyed with controls and interface.Will probably get used to it sooner or later, but overall it doesn't feel very user friendly - e.g. some button mappings are really annoying and I keep throwing pokeballs at trees because I forget to switch to pokemons each time

I'll say the battle systems definitely feels better and it's so great you can just switch between Pokémon moves instead of forgetting them

[Tyrath]

Oh thank Arceus you don't have to do all Research tasks for a pokemon to get it's pokedex entry marked as complete

And yes, I did a 180 and just bought the game. Enjoying it so far

[Scythiroth]

I'm enjoying it as well so far, maybe about 6-8 hours in. I've always been a fan more of the collecting/completion aspect of Pokemon games and have been really liking this game because of that, but I can probably see other types of Pokemon fans not liking some of the changes made in this game. Might just depend entirely on what you enjoy about Pokemon.

[Vaspinne]

The streams of the game I've seen so far make the game look not too bad. How much story/side-questing is there, does anyone know? Is it like, pretty bleak like Sw/Sh level? Or is there some meat to it?
