A big one that got me back into gaming after a break, bought a 3DS for this one. I know this is actually commonly a least favorite for Pokemon fans but hey nostalgia prevails and I've yet to play most of the really acclaimed Pokemon games (hoping to fix that in the upcoming year). But nonetheless there's a lot I love about this game. The world is especially great, I especially love the big open Paris like city that's sorta the game's main hub. Also this has one of my favorite new Pokemon collections even if it's smaller with a great set of 3 starters and awesome legendaries among a few others. But tbh my biggest compliment of this game relative to other Pokemon games is actually its brevity. I love that this game doesn't overstay its welcome and can be beaten in like under 20 hours. So many other games in this franchise I'm just totally exhausted by the end (unfortunately especially Legends Arceus which I rly wanted to like enough to put here), but this one was such a blast for me beginning to end. Very much could just be nostalgia tho idk, planning to replay next year so we'll see where it moves!
