Just couldn't do it. The newer Pokemon games are trying so damn hard to innovate in places where they don't need to. Not only does the game run horribly, but it really just doesn't feel like Pokemon anymore. No diving into tall grass and hoping you get the Pokemon you want and instead you can pick and choose your encounters. The Terrastallization mechanic, while really cool to utilize from a competitive perspective, is brutally uninteresting for casual players. The story is pretty bland even for Pokemon game standards. I may go back to it but I doubt I will.
