>Too many features are weirdly locked off. Requiring another game, the previous game or game completion to access.>Difficulty modes were not worth the trouble to unlock. Also who wants to unlock easy mode???>Fossils, fishing, and daycare are locked until you beat the game.>The game is balanced around the XP system this time. That means the levels of your opponents soar higher than the last game. Some players found it too difficult to brute force it like they did Black 1 and White 1.>Thanks to the XP system, hard mode makes no actual difference either. That is due to having more pokemon and higher levels to fight. More XP = easier game.>Hugh has 4 pokemon and he is a terrible rival. He's not competing with you. He makes it super clear from fight 1 that he's just battling you to make you and him stronger. After his quest is over, he's just making you stronger.>Colress is the worst. ANYTHING FOR SCIENCE. Completely irredeemable. He'll do ANYTHING FOR SCIENCE. Thanks to him, a town got iced. He even helps you. So he's a terrible villain. But he was never brought to justice. So he's still at large, and everyone's OK with this because his theme rocks and he's also a mad scientist.>Elite 4 is still a push over. 4 pokemon. Dark, fighting, psychic and ghost.>The game still drags ass with the story, and this time the "right and wrong" crap is done even dumber. Such as attempting to plant seeds of doubt at grossly inappropriate times. Why wouldn't the cat attack Hugh? The town before this is an ice cube, NOW is not the time to question if Plasma's actions are right or wrong!
