What a duo of games man. Pokemon will never have a Gen like this again. Part 1 was the pinnacle of Pokemon story and this is the pinnacle of gameplay. This is the most fun I’ve had playing a Pokemon game. Battling just feels so seamless and good here. Rotation battles and Triple battles suck (there’s a reason they’ve never come back…I think), but double and single battles are great! The story here, however, is a major drawback. Nothing really happens. Plasma is back…but not doing much of anything. N is back…for 5 minutes. The return of your rivals from Part 1 is cool but that’s all I really liked. I liked your rival’s design but god he was annoying. The story isn’t like bad tho it’s just pokemon. And the gameplay is fun enough to where I don’t care. You certainly can tell it’s getting easier, but that may have also been because of my team. My final team was Palkia (58), Cobalion (54), Virizion “Verizon” (54), Terrakion (52), Thundurus (36), and a whole bunch of HM slaves. Now I know what you’re thinking. “Rey, you’re cheating those are all legendaries.” And to that I have to say…nuh uh. I got Thundurus and Palkia at Level 5 through Dream Radar and then the other 3 are just given to you basically. So I’m not gonna just NOT use the resources given to me. I also just really like Palkia. But yeah, I had a busted team. And I loved them all. Good game.
