Oooh, nice. I knew there was another ice gym leader and that the puzzle wasn't another standard variation of the usual sliding maze, but didn't know there were other sliding puzzles elsewhere in the gym.

Obviously as the games get more advanced so too do the range of possible puzzles, but are there any types of puzzles that would have been easier to do in an older generation than they would be in a game based on X/Y? (I guess the main example I'm thinking of would be the introduction of diagonal...

Holy mother of Ash, that's absolutely f***ing amazing. Love everything about it. ...Everything, that is, except the name "Fartog". Seems a bit unprofessional for a Pokemon game.
