I just...can't agree with the general opinion that this game is terrible.

I mean I can agree to one thing: it lacked content, however, this was the first game that provided random matchups online which I had hours of fun with and the first game to have trainer customization (which is better than X and Y's).

It would have been nice for this game to have more stuff so it wasn't just specifically made for people who enjoy competitive battles, but I can't call this game bad in any sort of way. I would have quit gen 4 way earlier into its lifetime if it wasn't because of this game.
