I have only 6 medals, but the story I find already terrific and it's still on. Gym Leaders interact with the players outside arenas, provide a side quests and are integrated into the story. In addition, there are many side quests.
The graphics are really good to become to eien exception (see below). There are many places to explore where you can not find anywhere an arena.
Also you need now no more VMs to progress in story course !! (How it looks in the Victory Road, I of course do not know).
Some coaches challenge the player even several times out or there are ways to compete again against them. TMs can now use any number of times, which is enormously helpful.
What I find most maddest, is that you meet so many old Pokemon and also can start at the beginning! The Pokemon 5th generation to see me at all not at 90%. The fact that you meet a lot of other Pokemon, but it's not so bad. Sometimes I think that this or that stupid really looks or the name is messed up, but I can overlook about it. In my team, for example, is only the starter Pokemon, the rest comes from other generations.
The negatives for me things also include:
- The own Pokemon are back in the fight pixelated .... that could have been better !!!
- You have to press the X button every time you the menu; wants to open
- When a Pokemon developed, it reminds me of Digimon
- Everything is quite futuristic, and some soundtracks
- It is very much in the game show (Musical, film studios, general ...)
Conclusion: Even if you do not so like the 5th generation Pokemon, I would recommend a purchase, because you have a lot of alternatives. The game plays just great and fun!
