@SubsonicSparkIe You should! I would just say you shouldn't go in expecting an accurate recreation of Sonic physics. It's very much it's own thing and you can feel the doom roots. Also please play with a keyboard and mouse. I know it sounds weird, but it's just way better.

@trousersofcrime I think people file Pokémon games in their minds as their own completely separate genre or something, and just refuse to engage with them as what they are: JRPGs. There is this expectation to go into a Pokémon game already knowing everything and facing no adversity. I dont get it
