It's good for shiny hunting as well. That's about it.
The story was fine. The characters were charming. And the finale with Dialga/Palkia and Volo were good. The music carries those moments as well.
It reeks of laziness. Anytime something that isn't 5 canned animations happens, it fades to black. The game is the definition of "tell don't show" for story.
Like most Pokemon games, you can see the soul, but it stumbles throughout and obviously needed another year to fill in the missing pieces.
Listen to the soundtrack on youtube and watch a non-commentated battle with Volo and you'll get your "value".
