I love this one. I think if the performance was better this would contend for my favorite in the series. Obviously not perfect, performance excluded. I thought the world leveled with me, until I fought the grass gym leader last and ended up crushing him with no effort. If the game did level with me, I'd love it more. I liked the characters, the new pokemon, the map, and can't wait for the DLC. I'm part of the problem, don't you forget. The performance is definitely unacceptable though.
