This I have so much fun playing. This Gen has a good amount of awesome Pokemon, new features like Wi-Fi battling/GTS becoming a recent standard for the series changing the community forever. While the core of the gameplay remains the same, the replay valve and the features makes it a worthwhile addition to the series."
