I really liked this one and am so glad I came back for it finally. The ways in which it shakes up the structure of the series is positively divine, and makes me hope we only diverge more and more as we reach gen 10. The pokemon added are mostly hits, the new abilities made gameplay tactical and interesting for me for the first time in a long time, and overall it was an experience I sorely missed, even loving the new generations. If you were like me and skipped gen 5, it is WELL worth going back for.
