If someone says a Pokemon story can never be good, show them this game.
The story is incredibly emotional. And with the special episodes being exclusive to this version than time/darkness, it elevates it to a further level. Those who have played it all know just how good the Grovyle episode was. Which has probably one of the best scenes you can end a story with. It is beautifully sad.
And the music elevates it to another level too. It is simple, but works. I don't think there is a single soundtrack that sounds bad. And when it needs to sound good or emotional, it just goes out of its way to orchestrate some of the best melodies you can hear.
The gameplay being a mystery dungeon is of course not for everyone. It has not aged too well and can be very tedious. Especially for those late game 20+ floors. It is challenging but not everyone can get into it.
