The introduction of the fairy type was much appreciated as it balances out the game a lot more and it was a fun new door they opened. Being able to have online matches and fix your Pokémon stats was fun too. It is certainly the first Pokémon game where I meet the most strangers in and was able to trade, Vivillon was a great currency they introduced for everyone without OP Pokémon.

The environments are very tame you certainly feel less like you are traveling through the wilderness and it does not have any memorable biomes.

The game also has less impactful moments than most Pokemon games as it does not stir much emotions from you when you play, everything in it is a bit too smooth. This is also the easiest Pokemon game sadly. They where very unambitious when they made this game I feel even though they did a lot of new things like bringing a new type and having a region inspired by a place outside of japan ( France ).

If you are Japanese I get that France and Paris are the epitome of a very different but also evolved culture hence they can get something called Paris Syndrome. But I like it more when Pokémon is more focused on the nature like in ruby and sapphire and trying too put the spotlight on more unique and different places rather than Paris one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations.
