Been playing it for about 3 days now. It's okay, really lacking polish in parts though. Almost feels a little rushed. There are so many buildings you can't even enter, which is something I hadn't experienced in a Pokemon game before.

It does feel rushed in some areas. Something I noticed in the first city.

There's only about 8 buildings in the whole city, yet they copy and paste the same shop. They're literally right next to each other. It's not something that really matters, but damn... xD. 

And above in the first clothes shop, the two people working there being identical in every way, using the exact same model. Reusing the same character model in the same building, it just feels weird. It's classic pokemon, but as it transitions to 3D/HD these things just start to feel rushed/lazy and weird. Again it's nit picky and it doesn't matter, but it does make the game feel rushed and just strange.

Yeah i noticed that too, it gets worse tho. Without spoiling anything but there's one particular city that feels super rushed.
