This is the Pokemon game We've been waiting for forever. It is far more convenient than any other Pokemon game ever. No longer do you have to dig through internet forums for friends and random battles. Also no need to go to the Pokemon center for everything including the GTS or Battles. You have complete access to these things at all times on the bottom screen.
My final thoughts on this game is I wish that you didn't still need to tie your Pokemon down with useless HM moves to progress though the game effectively. I know they wanna make the Pokemon seem useful but forget that. I should be able to swim when ever I want. Water Pokemon or not. Also, even though the game is fully 3 dimensional now, they used in such a way that it's still looks old at first glance. Other than this stuff and the fact that we have to wait for Pokemon Bank to move our old Pokemon, I've been having all types for fun with this game and highly recommend it.
