While they are not NEARLY perfect games, as they are very much flawed games thanks to all of the performance issues, what you have beneath all that are the best Pokémon games since Black & White. Great story, characters, INCREDIBLE music, and fun new Pokémon and mechanics.

I have been with the franchise since Red/Blue and this is the most fun I've had with the series probably even since Gold/Silver/Crystal.

My hope is that GameFreak either patches all the issues out, or take what they've done right and work to fix what they didn't in the next entry.
