So, could it be that this is actually what a full fledged pokemon game will be from now on? I mean, it is not as if Nintendo is calling it a spin-off themselves, thats just something people are assuming right?
The main change from the main series so far is not battling wild pokemon, but my impression is that turn-based/grindy RPGs are frowned upon these days, so this could be a creative decision to answer that. Another missing feature would be HMs so far, which is another big discussion point in the series, as forcing players to delete one move from one of their pokemons to proceed in the story (or carrying a HM dummy) is not really commendable...
I totally get that the existence of CP, interation with pokemon GO and absence of a few things (GTS, breeding, any monster after the original 151, etc) give a spin-off feel. Just offering my two cents, as this looks more and more ''full fledged''... Either way, it has my attetion. Looking good so far, but I still want to know more before buying it
