It'd be a "good game" by pokemon fan standards if they made the whole ordeal slightly less braindead like in previous generations, but in terms of actual presentation, it's probably the best the series has ever looked in regards to its competition at the time. On top of features like customization, QoL, online, and actual gameplay changes in fairies and megas, it went above and beyond what's expected of first entries in generations.
