>>55944867It's kinda weird. Gen 5's biggest filter HAS to be the intro. Whether it's a Pokemon pool more limited than fuckin' Gen 1, or the mandatory Pokestar, these issues almost immediately clear up on the way to the second gym and the game becomes way more enjoyable.
>>55944854>Inverse battlesOH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THESE! Jesus fuck, what's with Gamefreak making cool battle formats just to scrap them the very next generation? What's so wrong with having rotation battles in Alola?
Also, they always get underutilized in singleplayer. Only exception is Gen 3. Even in ORAS, I feel like inverse battles were kinda wasted.
