I'm about 5 hours in now, and I'd love to give my first impressions.

Here’s the good for me:
-The music. There’s gonna be great lofi videos using the music from this game
-The graphics are gorgeous (more on this under bad)
-I am having a lot of fun building my team, exploring the city, and discovering new things. The city is way more diverse than I was thinking. The demo made the game feel smaller and I am glad not everything is so tight.
-The shiny sound is back!!!!!! I have found 2 shinies today.
-We can go inside buildings again!! (not all of them though!)

Neutral:

-Dunno how I feel about the battle system yet. I am pretty bad at it, but I think I need more time with it. I think I'd miss turn-based if they made the change permanent.

Bad:
-The graphics ARE good BUT there are some instances where they're horrible. Some stuff you can see up close is super low resolution. A lot of things are a flat 2D texture rather than being modeled. Some parts of the city are very empty and feel lifeless. Other parts are alive.
-I wish the wild areas we're a little bit bigger.

As I mentioned, I am having a lot of fun exploring the city and chatting about the game with friends online.

My team so far is:
Chickorita
Vivilon
Litleo (shiny)
Heracross

Agree with everything you said.

I like the verticality of climbing the buildings and having environments to explore on the rooftops, but it would've been super cool if they also had a 'sewer' or underground tunnel system as well. Would have added just a little bit more to explore and had more variety for the environment.

My team atm:

• Chikorita

• Scatterbug

• Spinarak

• Binacle

• Fletchling

• Soon: Espurr (want to catch in Luxury ball)

I have been in tunnels!
Not huge ones, but there's quite a few of those. :)
