My main idea of a console Pokemon game largely involved being able to see the Pokemon roaming around in their natural environment, which this game (along with Let's Go) is doing.

The immersion there really comes down to how detailed they go, which I doubt is much - though, at the same time, more focus on immersion means more time with each individual Pokemon's animations which means less Pokemon, apparently.

So, right now, it seems like there are sacrifices in both directions. The behavior isn't detailed enough (I'd want to see Pokemon interacting in specific ways, not simply wandering around) while also still requiring a certain amount of effort that is taking up resources.

Which is why I like the idea of a simpler battle-focused app while the main games go all in on bringing the world to life - but they really have to do more effort to justify it. I want to watch Zangoose duke it out with Seviper, Tauros stampeding through the field, all of that. For me, that would be worth the cost of less in-game Pokemon.
