I fucking hate how backwards they've gone with breeding/competitive stuff again.

Everyone including myself is going to feel obliged to hack again even though I bred 90% of my mons in ORAS.

Just wanted to rant.

>Geography.
They really cram alot into a little space. Doesn't feel like it takes forever to get to any particular area, there's more than 1 way to get everywhere. I like how it's quartered off via the story.

dislikes -
>CUTSCENES. too many goddamn fucking cutscenes.
It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't such needlessly long cutscenes. But the dialogue... wish there was an Age 10+ option or something, which would cut out 50% of the dialogue which is just repeating shit.
>The UI.
I don't like how tiny/skinny the hitboxes for things near the top or bottom of the touch screen are. And the fact that you can't change the appearance between a few presets like in previous games.
>No move tutors?
>No super training?
>Oricorio...
I'm a bird girl. When I saw an actual bird that had secondary typing which was not normal, I was so pumped. Was hoping for something like Rotom - a single special type-specific move which changes when you change the bird's form. Was heartbroken to see they don't actually have any type specific moves...

oh yeah. just wanna add to the likes -
>being able to add a poke to your team immediately after catching.
>not being asked "are you sure?" about every fucking thing, namely choosing not to learn a move.

The little things, y'know.

But breeding is exactly the same.
