things became a lot better.
Things which most people dont pay attention to in pokemon nowadays, is used for competitive. And knowing these subtle things in a not-competitive situation, makes your pokemon stronger.
With the introduction of the special stats, things in pokemon became tunnels into the core of the strategy in which only your bond between pokemon and master will determine the outcome or battles
Pokemon now resemble things slightly more complex, and they too have become more complex.
Also its in 3d.
