Been keeping up with the pokemon leaks and dang there's been some utterly baffling decisions made with the new game. So many choices which just seem straight up regressive. Also the story is apparently on the short side and there's basically no endgame, and there's some weird jank being shown in videos as well.
Seems like they needed way more time with this, but due to pressure from TPC and others they were forced into releasing it this year, which may have contributed to the decision of the cut pokemon.
Anyway, reviews are apparently out tomorrow so will be interesting to see what reviewers think of the game, I expect that all this stuff won't affect reviews too much, considering the worst mainline games (X/Y) have the best metascore (88). I think it will still be a good pokemon game, and will get mid 80s like all the rest. I'm certainly picking this up at some point but I have absolutely 0 hype for it at this point.
