WIRED An adorable journey into a new part of the Pokémon universe, complete with hat tips to the 1999 original. TIRED Bombarding Pokémon with fruit, songs, and scanners gets old. Not a lot of room for experimentation. (From 2021)
In another salute to the original 1999 game, players eventually get access to a few tools that can be used to lure—or coerce—Pokémon into a variety of poses. These include an edible apple-like Fluffruit, some music for Pokémon to dance to, a scanner for finding hidden critters, and a variety of Illumina orbs that make Pokémon glow.
To all the sleepy Exeggutors out there just trying to get some rest, I am genuinely sorry for invading your beachfront home in the dead of night to attack you with make-believe fruit.repeat photo tours. Aside from the moments that drive the story forward and unlock new habitats, players will be pushed to accumulate “expedition points” for each area by capturing incrementally “better” shots.
This is also the part of the game where your fluffruit really comes into play; not only as food but also as the never-ending bane of every sleeping Pokémon’s existence. Although music might wake up the little Pokémon or even elicit a tiny dance, I begrudgingly found myself hurling fluffruit at larger Pokémon to rattle them into my desired position.
I’m getting into the weeds about this aspect of gameplay, because in the end, it was simultaneously the cutest and most tedious element of the game. For me, the joy of this game is stumbling upon your favorite Pokémon being adorable in the wild. I, a 30-year-old adult, audibly cried out with delight the first time I saw a Squirtle in this game, and I was more than happy to come by a second and third time to check in on that little papa.
