The editors didn't like
Disappointing graphics
Bad lag times
Occasionally unfair mechanics
Empty landscapes
Horrid visuals
Progress gating feels grindy
Especially in early game before many environments are open
Textures popping in and out or repeating environmental patterns break the immersion
Easy to throw Pokemon when meaning to catch one
Story is still just kind of there
Muddy
Unpleasant visuals
Seriously the visuals are not good
The story is still more of a distraction than anything
