>>38942412XY has plenty of strengths and weaknesses. Definitely rough around the edges, as their first 3D RPG. It really shows in areas like camera, lag, and limited character animations.
At the same time, they deserve every credit for things like the PSS interface, Super Training for EVs, Pokemon Amie, custom player avatars, and all of the new 3D assets for Pokemon. It was not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
