Overall I'm quite impressed with the game, it's taking a lot longer than normal to get between gyms as the wild area is so vast and overall well implemented - Im interested to see how this develops in future games. I also think the new maxing mechanic is implemented well (much better than megas and z moves), it adds a bit more tactical thinking to some wild encouters and gym battles.

Also, as somone who lives in the UK I'm surprised how well they've represented the country, from the towns, to the fields and even little quirks like post boxes and street signs.

The only little niggles for me is the removal of exp all/share options but its workable if you dont want to use it and there are some unusual graphical anomalies (but nothing that upsets the experience for me).

Oh and the music is quite unique for a pokemon game, some I don't particularly enjoy but others (such as Hops theme) are amongst the best in the series.
