The story is a worse than Black and White, which is to be expected. (Team Flare isn't very convincing.) The starters are somehow worse than Unova, if that's even possible. Greninja is the only tolerable one, at least, for me. Chestnaut looks horrible, and Delphox is by far the ugliest Pokémon. But everything else is an improvement. The game offers so many diverse teams and type match-ups. While initially, I was skeptical on the whole "Fairy Type", I'm actually really enjoying their moveset and stats. It brigs Dragon down a peg (which will undoubtedly, lower their usage in competitive play, something I greatly appreciate.) Mega evolution is incredible. While Lucario is underpowered, the inclusion of his mega form and swords dance makes him incredibly OP. I wish you could choose to make them stay mega evolved, however. The only other problem I have with the game is that the Pokémon don't follow you like in SS/HG. I miss that. Solid 8.5/10. My favourite Pokémon game since Silver.
