less than 15 hours long. Even for Pokémon, that’s short.

Moves were deleted. Heal Order, Heart Stamp, Hidden Power, Pursuit, Frustration/Return, Ominous Wind, Silver Wind, Signal Beam, and more were deleted. Vespiquen and Swoobat are still in the game despite some of their signature moves being deleted.

Stealth Rock was not deleted. Ferrothorn remains despite HP Fire being gone. So much for balancing competitive.

Cinderace, Intelleon, and Rillaboom (last one unconfirmed) have custom Signature Move animations. Buuuut...

"All attacks got modified against a dynamax Pokemon. The Pokemon will always use the special attack animation and a sprite will show on the face of the Dynamax Pokemon. Said sprite changes depending on the type.

My problem with that, Hyper Beam has the same animation as tackle."

Also, Hidden Abilities revealed. Grookey gets Grassy Surge, Sobble gets Sniper, and despite the former being a chameleon and the next one being a bunny, Scorbunny gets a clone of Protean.

And they removed the Day/Night cycle outside of certain areas.

on a small plus side, every starter is in, but apparently only available through distributions?

EDIT: in addition to the favoritism shown for Scorbunny in regards to abilities, it also gets a secondary signature move.

Court Change - With its mysterious power, the user swaps the effects on either side of the field.

what a shitshow

Many legendaries are in. Mewtwo. The four Musketeers. Kyurem and his fusion materials. Zeraora. Melmetal and Meltan. Cosmog line. Necrozma. Dusk and Dawn forms. There’s a gigantamax for Snorlax and Melmetal.
