Yeah, but the Torchic is seriously overpowered, and I'm one for having team variety (unless I'm doing a Mono run, that would be really fun with Fire in XY actually...). Since I'm using a Talonflame on Y and plan on choosing Fennekin when I eventually get X, I guess I'll just wait until Z to use the Torchic.
Oh, here guys, I can give you something you aren't missing out on - the plot is a bit lackluster and Flare is the weakest team I have ever seen since the likes of Galactic (even Team Rocket's cliche ways was more interesting because they did more devilish acts), though their boss is kinda interesting. Hope someday we get more teams like Aqua and Magma, they were the best made to date in my opinion (Plasma was good too, but they went cliche real fast).
And it's a bit of an easy game because of the new ways to gain experience (Exp. Share new functions, catching EXP, the Battle Chateau giving you new people to battle all the time...). I'm seriously like 10 levels too high constantly.
but the gameplay makes it up 1000 fold
i seriously adore the region, the new pokemon, the extra things, the fashion...
I also hear there is the tiniest postgame in ages in this game. Super disappointed to hear that from places. It's predicted the stuff will be implemented in Z.
