The plot of the game is becoming less and less interesting.
The visual style of the game on Nintendo Switch 2 represents a leap compared to previous installments.
Some mega-evolutions that will leave you speechless
The subplot of some secondary characters and how it fits into life in Luminalia.
It is a game aware of the real world and addresses themes in line with social criticism.
The translation into French is exquisite

An interesting story, in the vein of the sub-series Legends and connected to X and Y.
Total freedom to customize our character.

The new combat system is fantastic.
The pace of the game seamlessly transitions between high-quality content.
Multiplayer promises great afternoons.
The battles against the Megas and the system itself deserve a more prominent place in the saga.
The Spanish localization deserves a special mention alongside the narrative efforts.
The postgame hooks quite well with the changes that are made to certain functions.

The return of mega-evolution is spectacular and justified.
The story is more mature and the secondary characters are developed.
The post-game content is abundant with side missions, multiplayer, and completing the Pokédex.

Artistic direction, the city of Lumiose beautifully reimagined. Exemplary fluidity at 60 fps, finally! Gameplay, more dynamic thanks to real-time battles. The music, something to whistle after a game. Solid lifespan, plenty to do.
A city often empty, lacking in life at times Collision bugs occasionally, annoying especially during battles A feeling of redundancy An adventure lacking in excitement and exploration The urban setting may not appeal to those who prefer nature and escape.

Visually not very beautiful... and even repetitive!
Exploration limited to Lumiose City
Difficulty quickly surpassed by the level of our creatures
Lack of dubbing that hinders the accessibility of the title for younger audiences.
The first complicated hours: multiple dialogues, plenty of boundary limits...

Pokémon battles are genuinely tactical and extremely fun
Rogue Mega Evolution fights much improved over Frenzied Pokémon
On Switch 2, it's feels like a smooth, almost constant 60fps

Visuals feel lifeless and flat
Wild Zones feel far too small and a little pointless
Lumiose City overall feels restrictive as a setting

Real-time battles that energize gameplay The return of Mega Evolutions The day/night cycle and Z-A Royale tournaments that change the atmosphere More vertical levels
Graphically, it looks cheap. The urban setting quickly becomes tiresome. The delimited combat zones. The lifeless NPCs. The permanent clipping. The invisible walls. Uninspired level design. Unengaging exploration. Zero dialogue throughout the entire game.

some of which are rather slow.
Slow start
Falling can be frustrating.
Sometimes repetitive story structure
Still no voice synthesis (!)
Textures in some places unattractive or flat

SmartworldLuminopoli condenses the game loop even better...
Real-time combat is much more dynamic...
Various improvements made to the historical formula...
The distinction between day and night works for a certain period of time.

... which however leaves room for a lack of depth
... but also less balanced compared to the past
... leave halfway
By removing the interiors and characters, the rest is visually unattractive.

TestingBuddiesOpen city full of atmosphere with a special look
The main and secondary quests, as well as additional challenges, provide a common thread.
The new real-time combat system immerses us in the heart of the action.
Catching wild Pokémon is now much more dynamic, for example with stealth options and real-time Pokéball throws.
We, as trainers, can suffer damage while catching wild Pokémon.
Fantastic day and night change with beautiful lighting.
Transition from the typical race of orders to a more diversified competition.
