On the whole I liked it.

The new normal pokemon were awesome, there seems to a huge open area with controllable camera, pokemon in the overworld (while not getting rid of random encounters).

Dynamax is just stupid. How about, just not have a stupid gimmick? It was megas in gen 6, z-moves in gen 7 and this now.

Megas were at least nice.

We got new temporary evolutions (could be definitive, give'em numbers!) and with them some really cool designs.

Also Charizard was finally able to become a dragon-type, which was so damn long overdue haha.

Its was an instant win button that broke the game. In the game it was introduced, it was poorly implemented, as only 3 opponents you face in the entire campaign use megas. Not even the elite 4 used em.

It was used as gen 1 pandering, instead of giving pokemon who were overlooked and often out of the spotlight. Speaking of that, Banette deserved a full evolution, not a temporary super saiyan form.

Not a single gen 6 pokemon got a mega, except a damn mythical.
