Am I the only one actually enjoying the game and playing at his own pace??

I'm still making my way to the 8th gym
caught Xerneas last night

nope i'm not such thing fuck you

Also I'm looking for a 6th member for my team, which is composed by

Charizard
Sylveon
Greninja
Mienshao
Malamar (shiny adamant fuck yes)

Will I run into special attackers in next routes and before the league? if not, what would you recommend?
