Simple things like level caps and balancing things by giving everyone good movesets to fit their niche really make this game fun. Im wrapping up my run tomorrow by catching clovenix and fighting the E4 again. I loved this game and have some NG+ mons prepared for when 1.3 drops in 5 hours. Gamefreak have zero idea as to what makes a game good and memorable. The best moments for me were when I came up with a goofy strategy that actually came in clutch. For example in my fight against darude:
>he sends out galavire while I send out donutsteel
>donutsteel's trace copies levitate
>he volt switches out to his potarded
>it has no moves to hit me so I just shift gear up to +6 and sweep with iron head
This game is so fucking good best pokemon game Ive ever played, right next to black 2 challenge mode. Only thing I'd change are some of the sprites and character portraits. Some of them look like garbage (chompest, humpunny, the hyletrack prevo, the ice cube line) while some look amazing and detailed (thundacock, goryannus, fireshitre, the fontaba legendary duo)
