>>35605524Heres my honest take on it
I went through a phase after the game came out where I despised it but I’ve gotten over it
There should’ve been more Pokémon introduced, but those that were, were pretty cool. Whether they’re shit or not is a different story. Lots of cool attempts at new abilities and weird attacks tho a lot fell through like parabolic shot or whatever
The Megas were pretty cool when they were first introduced but I would’ve rather taken new moms. Though they did breathe new life into a bunch of obselte old Pokémon, like charizard. The expansion of them in ORAS perfected it I don’t feel any more are needed. At least for now
The gym leaders are pretty forgettable, but imo it’s only cause this is the 6th gen Of gyms, the characters aren’t necessarily bad, tho they could’ve developed them more
I’ve only played through a Kalos game once so I don’t remember the region too well but the environment was pretty varied, a lot more compared to Alola. Interesting places like the pokeball factory that while they didn’t serve any purpose beyond plot points were neat. A lot of Pokémon were obtainable in the game thaybmade the 2 month lag of pokebank’s release not matter as much.
The plot could’ve been better, mainly because team flare was so unthreatening. Seriously, at least team skull is supposed to be dorky and stupid and useless, team flare grunts are just the most forgettable, not to mention their admins are completely forgettable as well. Even Malva, the E4 member, who was apparently a part of them never explained her role in it she’s just butthurt at you for shutting them down. They had potential but they rushed them imo
The legendaries were a lot more unique at the time where most games had dragon-esque box legends. Nice to use Fairy type too, though I wish they made a trio or something, some sort of legendaries you could hunt for in the overworld, zygarded and meetwk weren’t enough
