This is a very different Pokemon game. There's so much to do and not all of it involves collecting more and more Pokemon. The game is almost entirely real-time rather than turn-based. Towns are few and far between, a lot of the game is spent in the wilderness. Merely catching a Pokemon isn't enough to fully complete the Pokedex, you have to fulfil a series of quests based on that Pokemon and its abilities, so the gameplay is much more varied. It feels more like a world to be explored than any Pokemon game before it. I just wish you could pin Pokedex quests to the screen rather than having to remember them.
