Played it all the way through and even did the little tidbit of postgame and loved how it broke the 4th wall to really make it feel like your partner and Hydreigon were interacting with you. Also loved how the player was just in the right place at the right time and wasn't the only human summoned to the Pokemon world.
The world building in Gates is great, especially when it comes to bridging together the Human and Pokemon worlds, which the other games don't really touch upon. In Gates, your partner respects the fact the player has friends and family in the human world.
The game may have its flaws, but it's right up there with EoTDS and the originals. Didn't like Super though. The mechanics were good, but the story was ass.
