Yes. The whole game was honestly disappointing to me. The change in the Exp Share doing so much plus getting the Amulet Coin way early in the game gives you complete level and money advantage. The starter choosing combination gives you easy type coverage, as you could choose water for kalos starter, grass for the kanto starter and then the event torchic gave you solid coverage for nothing. Gyms were a breeze, no cave puzzles, laughable Victory Road, and pathetic Elite Four made me not like the main game so much. Fine. After game really disgusted me. Now, I'm not saying make it completely impossible to get to Mewtwo, but they put him right at the entrance. They could have at least made a deeper cave worthy of a champion seeing as how the guy wouldn't let you in until you became one. They put Mewtwo in for a nostalgia purpose, why not add something reminiscent of Cerulean Cave? Zygarde I could care less about, but it's also way too easy to obtain. And it's awful at that. It's defensive, yes, but a defensive Dragon/Ground type is going to get you nowhere at all. I wish that since they didn't implement very many new pokemon, they let you pursue old legendaries. One from each Generation would have been cool seeing as how this game combines them all. Looker's missions were sort of interesting, the dialogue was great (though the yes/no option pops up at grammatically incorrect points..) but it was overall very lackluster. The Battle Maison would have been cool if they had more battle events like Emerald. The other battle place in Lumiose (i cannot remember the name) seems very unfair right now because they use teams of three with Terrakion, and the generation doesn't give you much to answer Terrakion and Poketransfer isn't launched yet. The various Cafes are very gimmicky and get old very fast. If you don't have a competitive interest, there is very little to keep you playing the game after you beat the pokemon league.
