I finished this game relatively fast compared to all of the other Pokémon games I've played. Storyline is alright, a bit boring though. I felt like everything is basically given to you. You don't have to search for important TM and HM's, they're just handed out. Older games, you had to use certain moves to get through parts of your journey. Not nearly as many battles as I remember. No safari zone, cycle roads, anything extra really. I do like that all Pokémon gain exp from battles, that was an item I always hated finding and waiting to get. You have a bike and can run right off of the bat. I do enjoy the open world and the fact that you can see Pokémon walking around so you don't waste as much time fighting the same ones over and over. I just feel like it was very watered down. I've played just about every generation, this one is by far my least favorite. I'm just now writing a review because it was hard for me to stay focused on it like some of the other games.
