This one felt very fresh after playing Omega Ruby. It felt bright and bubbly. The change from the gym battles to island challenges is interesting, but I kind of miss the structure of the gym battles.

The story line is decent, but it was still organisation which has some noble cause in their own mind but likely to destroy the entire planet. But really it felt like I was just on a pleasent island tour for most of the game rather than being treated as the most important person in the world (as I felt like I was treated, rather undeservedly, in Omega Ruby)


But Team Skull are both dorky and adorable at the same time. The new Pokemon are pretty good, but that stupid Call system is super annoying, would have much preferred a limit on how many times it could be used in a battle. The Z-Moves were a nice gimmick, but I don't think I used them too much.

It's an enjoyable game... Still need to finish the post game stuff, which for some reason I'm not super keen on doing. Also not 100% sure I'll dip into Ultra Moon... at least not straight away.
