If you want any semblance of a challenge, don't really use the Wild Area. You can break the game wide open without even meaning too. Leon's really the only trainer in the whole game that actually puts up a fight. The wild area is fun tho, until the postgame where it becomes a grind spot. The sheer variety of types across multiple weathers means a lot of variety in team comps
Pokemon Camp is cute, and seeing the Pokemon interact is cute.
