>>21682724I'm excited for the game because I liked gen 3. But honestly, their entire marketing campaign has been like 90% dedicated to Megas, which expand the metagame but arn't real game content, which is what I assume all of us buy the cartridges for anyway. Here is what's actually new (aside from obvious mechanical upgrades and whatnot):
>Contests revampedCool enough, I liked contests.
>Air travelFucking awesome, I've wanted a feature like this a long time.
>New islandsIf they're anything like the ones from the demo they're nothing to be excited about, almost anybody can make those same things if they were given the tilesets and whatnot.
>Tons of legendsMeh. Aside from being able to transfer things, unless they're actual game events I'm not that interested. For example, it was uninteresting to catch the bird and Mewtwo in XY, but it's cool they had a somewhat unique area for each legendary in gen 4.
>Event involving RayquazaGreat.
>Battle ResortIt's a mystery right now.
At this point, I'm not sure the amount of actual new game content is comparable to the other remakes they've done.
