>>45079962Nah, I'm in the same boat. It's the first (and only, given how bad the online has been since) time Pokemon has felt like a social game for me, and it was so easy to round up people to have casual trades and battles.
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion to have.
I'm actually a big fan of XY's exp share too which is definitely an unpopular opinion. The regional dex has 450+ Pokemon, it was great to use heaps of them in my first playthrough and not have to just grind the Pokedex once I was finished with the story.
