Areajugones
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

Lots of new ideas that breathe fresh air into a license that is becoming increasingly stagnant.
Illumis as a whole (level design, artistic direction, easter eggs, original soundtrack)
Perfectly smooth on Switch 2, and surprisingly beautiful in many aspects?

The freedom of action of the combat system sometimes causes some annoying issues.
Another missed opportunity to take advantage of touch and mouse mode on Switch 2?

Finally, Pokémon dared to break away from its previously untouchable formula.
Real-time battles are the future of the franchise.
The story is endearing and the characters promise to become memorable.
The modeling efforts of Pokémon and certain decorative elements

Illumis lacks identity, fortunately the game makes up for it with its colorful characters.

Storytelling balances emotional intimacy with large-scale tension.
Strong worldbuilding ties gameplay, setting, and lore together beautifully.

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.

In the graph, there is still much to be desired, despite the good visual direction of the Pokémon models.
The way you confront the coaches in the Z-A Games easily exploits the weaknesses of the system.
Some issues with mobility systems are adding up.

The new real-time battles are chaotic, but fast and fun.
Smart and respectful structure of players' time
A lot of content including mega-stones, side missions, collectibles, etc.

The urban landscape becomes quite monotonous quite quickly.
This will make the noses of classic combat fans turn up in disgust.
I share a respected technical department on Switch 2, but nevertheless running late.

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.

The real-time battle system recontextualizes familiar moves and strategies in exciting new ways
The colorful cast of characters enrich Lumiose City in a way that X and Y wasn't able to
The new Megas and their corresponding fights showcase great new designs and utilize the battle system to its full potential

Lumiose City is visually uninteresting and fails to adequately represent the people who live there
The cramped world design limits approaches to catching Pokemon
Stealth mechanics are a bit funky and the world design doesn't always support that approach
