Far too easy. I know Pokemon is an easy series by comparison to other JRPGs, but XY were insulting easy for a Pokemon game. While the 'improved' EXP share can be disabled, it still should not exist. Also, all E4 members still have four Pokemon each from BW, and many trainers have Pokemon with only THREE moves. What the fuck?
I like how padded out everything was until the third gym, the rest of the game felt rushed as the games go into overdrive, and there is no postgame to back them up. The supporting characters and 'rival' are also bad. Like come on, I want somebody more willing to push my shit in and carries more than three Pokemon.
I do however appreciate Gamefreak being far less transparent about EVs, and being more generous with IVs overall, which I still think are retarded but whatever.
Here is to hoping a potential 'Z' or sequel version will ramp up the difficulty or at least offer me difficulty levels from the start of the game. I wonder how much harder the game would be if the NPCs could swap out Pokemon more intelligently, I only ever saw this once or twice in BW2 when Perish Song wasn't involved.
The event Torchic was broken as fuck and probably spoiled my playthrough, but this is practically true for all launches.
