Might be the worst pokemon game so far? The starters are boring, the characters are for the most part boring, and there is no break from collecting gym badges. The other games had you solving the team "blank" crisis every now and then but this one is just 8 gym badges in a row with no stops inbetween. Also the experience gained from battles is very random and too high and makes leveling up too easy. Lastly nobody likes grinding watts for several hours so they can buy the necessary moves they need. The game looks great, most of the new pokemon and type combinations are very cool, and the gyms are more exciting. The addition of a park with extremely high leveled pokemon early on is odd but i like the design of it. But this does not make up for its flaws. I have been a huge fan of this series since the beginning but i really feel like they got lazy with the plot on this one.
