Camera control in my Pokemon? What's going on? Shame it's only outside towns and probably dungeons too, but it's better than nothing I guess.
The Max whatever feature seems like a mix of mega evos and Z moves, both powering up your mon and improving their moves. The three turn duration is a nice compromise between the single use per battle of Z moves and the permanent state of megas (until the battle ends, that is).
That raid feature seems taken from Pokemon Go, and it looks interesting. Guess I'll have to pay for online after all...
