>>56202994seasons were cute and even if you don't like "wait three months for a single great ball" the visual changes were very nice
the overworld in general looks pretty good, like a DS-era 2.5d game. trainer sprites tend to anti-alias but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for ds games
the battle sprite anti-aliasing is pretty crusty but pokemon moving during battle as well as the dynamic camera was cool to see in a mainline title
the side content was fun (though absolutely did not need forced tutorials)
while it was around, dream world was cool. i think just the idea of doing something on your DS to then continue it on your computer, then it comes BACK to your DS in the form of pokemon w/hidden abilities was fun. a really good example of "doing stuff with your pokemon aside from battling"
some of the mon designs were pretty good and remain well received to this day
BW2 has pretty good mon availability all things considered
rustling grass was great and idk why they didn't bring it back, at least for XY
