Wouldn't be enough to make it the best but it would be a solid middle of the road or better title. I'll never understand why gamefreak feels they need to explain mechanics more and make the game easier. Pokemon was never particularly hard. It's been getting worse and worse.
Not giving you items at nearly every opportunity, re-tuning battle difficulty, and making the game just a little bit more non-linear would do wonders and make it top tier.
I don't understand why they don't get it. They're making modern Square Enix tier choices here which doesn't give me a lot of confidence for their future titles.
