So i've been pretty out of the loop for a while with the

8.5/10

+ The main story was great.

+ Returning features like Festival Plaza are nice

+ The aesthetics\mechanical changes were well executed.

- Post-game lacks any trainers with Pokemon over level 70

- Removing DexNav was a tragedy

- Frame Rate lags in Double-Battles\Battle Royal

i thought everyone here hated festival plaza?

They do, and it is awful

Every area is a hall way so there is no real exploration and most areas are also not unique in any real way.

Music varies, but that's subjective. I personally didn't like most of the tracks. There are a few standouts though.

The framerate is atrocious on an o3ds, I wouldn't want to begin to imagine it on a 2ds.

Story was solid though. However, the main villains scheme isn't really that intimidating and perhaps has the least consequences of any villains plot.

I liked the rival, but they pulled the trigger on his backstory far too late. I can see why he would irk people too though.

festival plaza is bad because it's not nearly as fast to use as pss (you can no longer wait for a battle or a trade while you wander around the game world) - getting into online functionality now requires full involvement
