This game rocks!! i.e....its really immersive and has really stepped up from its predecessors.
initially i thought that this would be very much like its predecessors....but i was proved wrong...because this game is full of surprises and also includes great new additions to the game the most notable being the world tournament, brilliant music, good story(for pokemon....)...and the minute changes to gameplay like when the game asks you if you want to use a repel after the effect of one is over,etc...make the game less frustrating....i had hoped that this game wouldn't be very easy and was quite satisfied by the end of the game....the victory road itself is pretty hard if you don't have the right team matchups. i got a shock when i saw that iris was the champion and felt a bit dissapointed but after the music began and i saw that her first pokemon itself was a hydreigon i was kinda relieved...and to be honest she's pretty tough....the elite 4 levels are rightly adjusted. i say that because even after going through the whole map( the places before the elite 4)..and fighting all the people etc....i found myself to be almost level with the champions pokemon....i defeated the champion in about 25 hours of gametime....which is ....kinda ok...it would have been better if this game was a little longer(like say 30)...but i dont mind that because the postgame content is pretty good so you dont feel let down.......
well done GameFreak.
