>>44246471i think this is mostly it. Fuck story, Gamefreak can't write for shit. This game, instead of having a story, has decent characterization, which is the narrative this series actually needs.
And the combat system actually has some strategy and depth too it, without over-relying on gimmicks like transformations and super attacks. Those add flavor to it, but the fun is in teambuilding and strategizing. You know, what Pokemon COULD be about!
