I'm roughly an hour and an half in watching the game and the training wheels are still on, despite the person rushing through everything.
So far, it's nothing really special and nobody really noticed the giant vortex above the mountain. Overall, it's basically Snap but with the main game attached to it. But it might work if there's more stuff to it other than going on an safari, fighting the occasional trainer, and buying clothes. As it is now, the game makes it an grind to catch dozens of the critters just to get promoted...And that's basically it, outside of the mandatory fights.
