The graphics are great. Personally, I certainly had had rather be back 2D, but it was clear that Nintendo visit and switch to 3D. The 3D effect is insanely good at many points in the game, the 3D effect is incredible depth and annoying at no time or disturbing.
The music is great as always succeeded, there are also pieces from the predecessors, which I think is a nice bonus. It is consistent, matches the events and is mostly a catchy tune.
It is still the classic MD gameplay, you save Pokemon defeated crooks and done all sorts of other jobs. There are many new features, so you can, for example, to expand its property, plant berries and build new buildings.
Now for the flaws.
The game has become much slower. The dialogues have an incredibly slow speed text that you unfortunately nowhere can adjust and that can be quite annoying in some situations. For example, if I want to short sell something, I have to only the couplet of the shop NPC's anhöhren and that takes something in the text speed. Also, I can imagine that it is extremely annoying when the 2nd time by playing, because one can not simply click the dialogues.
Also in the dungeons the gameplay has become a bit slower. The attack animations have become longer, which has, however, to expect all new Pokémon games.
We are already talking about the next flaw that dungeon. Something they have changed to the random dungeon generation, which I personally do not like. The dungeons have fewer rooms and these are usually quite small. But plenty are now forever length transitions generated, in which a team fight is therefore almost impossible. Also, most dungeons are more like a labyrinth, so that sometimes it takes forever to get ahead a level (and yes I know that there were in the previous games PKMNMD even partially so, but here are almost exclusively those spaces generated).
The teammates have become stupid. In the previous games, they have teammates moves perfectly, so that one could isolate well the enemy always, now the teammates go more towards the opponents and move completely different than in the previous games, which will make experienced players mad. This flaw is with the slowness of the game the most annoying.
All in all, the game is good, but it is by no means ran to the predecessor. MD fans, the part put to definitely that others must decide for themselves;)
