After finishing this game, I have to say I really liked it. It was a lot of fun once the plot kicked in and I ended up really enjoying the characters and storyline. Hydreigon in particular I just loved reading his dialogue and he's such a great twist on the "Grovyle" character expy. Also I liked the idea of this distaste for the current state of the world and the nihilism that came with it playing into the story, admittedly it's a bit passé but I still liked the way the story did it (though a bit of it was "show, don't tell" here and there, they could've benefitted from showing us just how bad the world was as we only get a bit of it from the other characters' stories). Also, the new gameplay mechanics was really helpful, for instance the exp. system, it always annoyed me when I wanted to train up a certain Pokemon but due to whatever reason I couldn't bring them along and they fell behind. Now, that's not a problem, I can do a story event or go on a quest with another group of Pokémon and still have my entire legion of Pokemon grow.
Zweilous said:Finally the ending and what happens afterwards was very well done in my opinion. It plays on the typical endings of these games and flips it by having you be the one crying instead of the partner. You're leaving, you think everyone will forget you and not only don't they not forget you they give you a message promising that they never will and will always remember the times they had with you. It's both heartwarming and bittersweet, it strengthens the connection you all had and makes it all the harder to leave and break that connection. Also, I liked that they played a bit with the idea that you probably have people in the human world that miss you as well as filling in the time you're not there by playing as the partner. Those are really nice touches to an old formula since it uses it in the right way to keep it fresh and still prominent.
