>>15134631>implying no other gen had mixed reception everIt seems like EVERY gen had "mixed reception", the community is always divided on everyone's opinion, everyone has a favourite, and everyone has a least favourite, and they're almost never the same.
For myself, I found the game a little bit lacking in the number of pokemon, around 70 new ones, not many of which are really that great. They definitely could have done more for fairy, as in, give it some moves, you've pretty much got one or two options for fairy moves, and most of the status moves completely blow. But all in all, the introduction of the fairy type seems to be headed in the right direction, and I really like how they're using it to improve older pokemon(azumaril and togekiss are total bros for me). Also I love mega evolutions, it's just such a cool concept and refreshes some old pokemon with new designs. The story wasn't all that great, but then again, when is it ever great in a pokemon game? Only in B/W did I actually care about the story.
