This game is very good and I don’t like how much hate this game franchise gets from game reviewers (ign) because this game is amazing. This game is one of my favorites and single handily made me really love Pokémon.The music is amazing, the story and characters are the best aspects of this game and characters like grovyle, the partner, and the guild are amazing and this game has some heart wrenching moments and is probably some of the darkest and maturest writing in a Pokémon property like the ending which made me cry like 3 times and has some of the best emotion and story despite some confusing story elements. The game has alot of content here and the game takes hours to complete and that doesn't include getting the master rank and recruiting the legendary Pokémon. Now there's only two issues I have with this game and that's the difficulty and bosses and both are still good but sometimes the difficulty can be unbearable and this games bosses are painfully difficult at some moments especially during sections like the future and special rift since you can't go back out and grind reviver seeds so if you don’t have a lot of reviver seeds your gonna have a fun time. Overall despite my complaints this is one of the best games I've played. 5/5
