>>29808136I'm playing it, about to go to the third island
-The game is harder than XY, as well as ORAS to an extent. What I mean by this is that, while playing with the Share on, it feels about as difficult as playing through ORAS with the Share off. The generic trainers aren't usually much a threat except for the occasional surprises like one that Parafused me and then flinch stalled. Totems are an extreme pain, Wishiwashi summons a partner that uses Heal Pulse on it, while Lurantis has a power herb, and later summons a Castform that sets up sunny day.
-Storytelling feels like BW again, and going by leaks it looks like it doesn't really drop.
-The game still handholds you as much as XYORAS but its a bit less blatant about it, they do a better job of disguising it.
-World is easily the best so far, its hard to actually describe how the routes feel, but its not like any previous ones.
-Using my O3DS, framerate is actually pretty stable in singles, but bring in a third pokemon or more, and it goes to shit. bonus points when an aura is thrown in.
Overall, It may be my favorite introduction games, but it still won't touch Platinum, B2W2, etc. But I didn't expect it to so I'm not upset.
