Pretty graphics, enhanced type match ups, better move pools for a lot of Pokemon, it's great in every aspect I can think, except it lags a tad bit while the 3d is on :[
I got Pikachu an hour or so after I began playing :3
And I got Flabėbė in the GTS. I gave away a Mawile, tho. Although I guess it was a fair trade since Flabėbė is also Japanese :P
