A breath of fresh air that kind of landed flat for me, as my quest to play each game continued. I try to make my 6 Pokemon team only from the newest gen, and it was disappointing to see so many old Pokemon - every route had like one new Pokemon and that was it. Mega evolution is whatever, hoard battles were annoying unless you had Surf or something, and all your friends can't wait for you to kick their ass.

Still, got my first full odds shiny (a Gulpin!) here, so that's cool.
