After Pokemon Legends ZA was announced, I rushed home after work to replay Pokemon X. The last time I had opened up this game was before ORAS, so at least 10 years. I tried to like this game but the entire thing feels undercooked. The novelty of every Pokemon now in 3D has worn off, and unfortunately, I see this game as one of the most bare-bones titles in the series. The game just comes and goes without much happening. Most of the budget very clearly went to making the 3D models, which at the very least they have gotten great mileage out of, leading to some bangers on the 3DS in the future. Hopefully, Legends ZA will make up for Kalos getting the short end of the stick.
