There's a LOT of streamlining which is very much appreciated here. "It's super effective!" shows up during an attack, and how they handle EXP and learning moves makes post-battle far more streamlined and less annoying with pestering about learning moves and what-not. It's not perfect, and there's definitely some redundancy still (the menu to go back to town has two "I'm gonna keep exploring!" options, actually equipping new moves - while still less tedious than the old option - kinda takes too long for no real reason, and the "continue" screen in boss battles can be too verbose). It's still a much-appreciated step forward for the Pokemon franchise, though.

I will say, though, that rare Pokemon like Cherrim or Munchlax can be REALLY annoying to find, which is a huge pain in the butt. The action RPG elements don't really help either, especially for Pokemon that opt to flee - it MAKES SENSE but it's annoying for rarer ones that might not always show up.
