Probably the best thing Gamefreak has put out in ages since Gen 5 and Pokemon HGSS.
I hope that this is the new direction Pokemon takes in general. I honestly prefer this to any of the tradition Pokemon games. The battle system already felt better, and could be even better with some tweaking. I love all of the maps and wish there were more.
Alpha Pokemon are also, before you get better balls at least, the most challenge Pokemon has given us in a while and the fights with them were actually fun, and felt dangerous.
Music's great, story's the only one I've cared about since B&W, the catching mechanics are a joy to use.
My minor complaints mostly have to do with the graphics (We've heard that one a million times), balms for bosses feel kinda... silly? and I feel like trade evolution Pokemon should still evolve through trading since the Link Cable item is so rare.
Edit: There's some unfactual information in this review. Trade Evolutions still work, already did a few. Completing the Pokedex is fun but fuck Spiritomb.

Already have played it, I've played all of the Pokemon games.
s/m had a better story than b/w. imo in general b/w's story is waaay overrated
i didn't know the s/m people were the ones doing legends arceus. that explains why the story has been good (for pokemon) so far
