It is a game that made me restore faith into GSC and HG/SS solely because of how devoid of content there was. It is a game that didn't bring much new to the table, and what little there is that is new ingame is sadly lacking. It is a game that ultimately makes me feel like I am forced to play it for competitive battling at the very end because of only 70 or so new Pokemon, flooding everywhere else with Pokemon from past gens because they have nothing else to offer aside from one new Pokemon every route.
It is a game where nothing feels good except the little bells and whistles like Amie, and even then you use it for the Pokemon's reactions. It is a game that relies solely on past successes, mainly Kanto and Hoenn's due to how much pandering there is for the former in the game. It is a game that does not make me feel like I'm on an adventure, and more a badly written official fanfiction about France. It is a game that feels badly implemented in everywhere but the singles gameplay, and that will come to a screeching halt as the horde encounters shows up to utterly DESTROY any coherent speed of the game.
It is a game that offers too little for too much of your time. It is a game that story makes you feel like you are only playing a bad novel about characters that are currently off-putting in the Universe of Pokemon. It is a game that only deserves to be played once until GameFreak decides 'oh no, we have fucked up, maybe we shouldn't wait until the sequel for this kind of thing' to add more polish to a game that nearly bricked your progress twice; one with the Lumiose save glitch, and the other with trading errors out of the asshole, enough for GameFreak to say 'we don't have plans to patch it', to patch it up to Version 1.2.
It is a game that is, as a whole, unacceptable.
