Still to this day my favorite opener to any Pokémon generation, and my second favorite entry in the mainline series overall! This game introduced so many amazing Pokémon to the series, like Excadrill, Haxorus, Chandelure, Krookodile, Bisharp, Mienshao, and my personal favorite, Hydreigon. Add in an amazing soundtrack, beautiful sprite-work, and an interesting story, and you have one of the best entries in the series.
