My only complaints with the game so far are gift Pokémon and reliance on HMs/specific Pokémon being needed for things.
I don't like feeling obligated to have a Pokémon on my team, and I end up feeling bad about boxing them. When you first find the Orphanage they even rub this in.
I know forced gift Pokémon are common in the main series but I've already gotten the Larvitar from the start, Cyndaquil and a Totodile. Only using Cyndaquil as a Cut user right now.
The latter is probably one of the few things I think SM did well, considering rentals are essentially key items, something similar would've worked fine in Prism.
Other than that I'm enjoying it quite a bit, the Sinnoh music compelled me to find some Sinnoh Pokémon on my team. Using Bronzor in the Mystery Dungeon-esque sequence was also really neat.
Forgive the shitty names, I've never been good at that.
