The game is way too easy compared to previous games. Training each Pokemon individually is now pointless. The new experience share gives full EXP to all your Pokemon in your party. You can run through the whole game with a single Pokemon, get him up to level 70, and every other Pokemon you obtained will be around his level. The variety of Pokemon you could get are rather high though, that's good. It's a fun little game with it's wifi features and customization, but the story is the same as other previous titles, start off journey with your basic rival, get a couple gym badges, run into the bad guys, in this case team flare. Get some more badges run into the leader, fight him, and capture the legendary Pokemon on the cover and continue to the elite 4. This time around they actually live up to there title. Each elite 4 has only 4 Pokemon. Water, Fire, steel and ghost. Easiest elite 4 you'll ever meet. Don't worry, you won't need any revives or hyper potions.
This is your game if you like variety or if your in to competitive Pokemon battling. It's not if you expected a challenge.
