>>51121754it's better then gen 7, I played x after ultra moon and I was kinda taken aback to how quickly they sent me to the first gym
gen 7 was such a slow burn it takes almost half an hour to get to a DAMN POKEMON CENTER
gen 6 was "here's you're friends, here's your starter, go play." however gen 6 tortures me with constant friend encounters but those are usually spread apart alright enough
