3ds game on the switch - yeah it’s a little dissapointing.
My imagination was probably at fault. I was imagining a breath of the wild style Pokemon game. Your trainer enters the land - in the distance you can see towns and a city, mountains and caves, swamps and forests - all explorable- the gyms playable in any order you choose. The player would roam the land seeing Pokémon moving about in the wild. If you wanted to capture a Pokémon, you pressed a trigger button to enter aim mode, and throw a pokeball at a Pokémon. If you hit it, the camera would swing down into the battle view - the player now controls your Pokémon - real-time- left, right, forward etc - there’s an ATB style meter slowly filling up, and once it does, you can call on an attack, pressing one of the four face buttons etc. Rival trainers would of course, be populating the land as well, going about their various routines, itching to battle you, if you strayed into their area.
That’s the game i was invisoning when it was announced. I own too many Pokémon games already to just buy another 3ds style Pokémon game. The antiquated game system needs an upgrade.
