I said that "it has nothing going for it except for the pvp." The single player difficulty is so easy you can run through every gym with one or two Pokemon that aren't even strong against the enemy types of that gym and still win against them. The game has a nice bit of strategy when you have to put it to use, but the fact that the single player doesn't require it, then it's moot.
It'd be like if we were replacing the game of Pokemon with a electronic version of the game of Chess except if you were playing against an AI opponent rather than a human, the game automatically changes all of your pieces except for the king into queens and all of the opponent pieces remain the original pieces. You'd have all queens and the only time you'd lose that game is if you were a complete idiot. That's how it feels with single player Pokemon. It's got a deep underlying strategy to it, but you don't actually have to use it because the game has piss poor balance.
