>Route 1>meet up with friends>Route 2>Friends tag along and team up with you and show you where to find things>Route 3>Friends go seperate ways FINALLY leaving you alone untill sycamores twins show up and tell you to follow them to lumiose.>Get to lumiose>See this cool city? But first go see sycamore>See sycamore>HEY TRAINER, STUDY MEGA EVOLUTION FOR ME, ALSO THIS IS LYSANDRE, HE'S AWESOME.>Given kanto starter and emga ring>RESEARCH MEGA EVOLUTION FOR ME, BUT THESE THREE POKEMON ARE ALL YOU'LL GET FOR NOW, SO USE THEM>Try to explore lumiose>Its all sectioned off because lol power outage>have to fight Korrina's fucking llucario 3 times barring the gym batttle>YOU ARE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS, TAKE MY LUCARIO PLS>Drag me all the way to the stupid tower just to fight her lucario AGAIN.>still can't explore anything at my own leisure like any other decent regionThe problem with kalos is it just exists. you don't get to do anything, go anywhere cool ebcause the plot literally drags you around by the hand instead of letting you figure things out yourself.
