Too easy, I avoided all the avoidable trainers and ran away from all the random encounters. Still, I was always overleveled.
The villain team is the worst in the saga, blowing up the planet to return it in a beautiful state? ...Why? The recruits can't say a normal dialogue without talking about something concerning the beautiful, it's annoying from a certain point.

The new Pokemon introduced this generation was very solid! That's the only positive I can think of, really.
This is probably the most generic, uninteresting, and formulaic game in the main series. So many of the characters are dumbed down, streamlined, and ultimately forgettable. The story? No need to even talk about that! I can sum it up by saying "Predictable". But that's not the worse of it. Nope!
The worst part about this game is the antagonist. Don't even get me started how forgettable he is, but really, his motives are so basic and uninteresting that I just moaned any time he appeared on screen. I'm so glad the generations after that started having their evil teams be more dynamic. Guzma for the win!
Ok, I know I've been harsh with this game, but in reality, I still think there's a lot to it. I exaggerated when I said that it only had one positive, because in reality, it has quite a few! Triple battles remain (this is the last gen that had it) which are tons of fun. The national pokedex is a thing, which is very cool! Megas are very awesome visually, but really are lame gameplay wise.
However, just like Gen 5, I know people will begin to praise this game in a few years saying it was underrated and that we should've cherished what it had. I say this is easily the weakest generation of Pokemon. Gen 8 is only somewhat better.
FYI: I grew up with this Pokemon generation.

Very underwhelming entry into 3D for mainline Pokemon, especailly when it gets beat out visually by the Genious Sonority games like XD & Battle Revolution. In terms of content, this pretty much loses to Gen's 4 & 5 in almost every regard. Kalos as a region fails to leave a lasting impression; none of the locations or characters offer any real charm or personality. Team Flare is a joke, and there is little to no postgame worth mentioning outside the Looker sidequest. Mega Evolution is very hit or miss, great idea but many Pokemon who were already good get one as fanservice.
