Easily the best Pokémon games since Black & White. It's a damn shame that they run as badly as they do and look as awful as they do, because these games do so many things so well. The gameplay loop's addicting, the freedom is refreshing (even if a lot of it is just an illusion, really), the story goes places I didn't expect and I actually ended up caring about it by the end (which is something I can't say for most Pokémon games), and the music is fantastic. The three separate storylines was a nice design choice as well, and I hope they bring it back in the future. It's not without faults even outside of its technical shortcomings (it has some of the series' worst character designs to date, the gyms are pretty forgettable, the new mons are disappointing, etc) but I actually enjoyed a Pokémon game again, and it feels really fucking good.
