Honestly, this is probably my favourite pokemon game. I really did not think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but I just had so much fun playing it. I put around 75 hours in, which is by far the most I've put into a 3ds Pokemon game. The game is honestly pretty well balanced, with me wiping at least once every major story battle (I stopped using heals about half way through the story). Having every legendary available in the post game is also super nice.

very solid, underappreciated game. Definitely something that I would dislike a lot more on replay though (just like any pokemon game).
