the most bland pokemon game i've ever played
several ideas are thrown at the wall and almost none of them stick

the new pokemon are cool, the pss was a great addition, fairy type is cool, but everything else about the game is so forgettable

after gamefreak took risks with the gen 5 games, they reeled back and played it much safer with this uninteresting mess of a game

it's competently made and perfectly playable, but lacks so much of the charm that made the older games and even the gen 7 games much better than this piece of shit

gen 1 pandering was at a high during this game, but it doesn't really make sense because this game came out before all the genwunners got back into the series - it just ends up being lame ass kanto references one after another and i can't help but to roll my eyes thinking about it all

the only reason to still own this game is just to use it to complete the dex in a different 3ds pokemon game
