Let me inject my views on this conversation, what bit of it I read, and of the game:
Firstly, in case this was not addressed, to the trainer who said BR does not have a storage system, It uploads ALL your boxes AND your party to your BR file. EVEN your eggs. Can't get much better storage than that. Graphically, the pokemon are impressive. The stadiums are excellent, the models are smoother, true they aren't too realistic looking, but since when has pokemon been realistic? I think if we got realistic, Scyther's arms would be coated in blood and guts by now. At least you get to see them hit each other now.
The complaints about the limitations on the trainer design? I'm impressed simply from the fact that the Muscle Men look biologically accurate, instead of upside Pyramids like from Colloseum and XD. The trainers have enough variety to satisfy me. six different major models, three skin tones for each model, and a lot of clothing options you can mix and match. when before everyone looked exactly the same in player vs. player. that makes me happy. and the fact that you can now choose your player title, AND what your trainer says? Superb.
I admit I was looking for more of a story, but I'm pleased with what I got. Ten or so colloseums, 15+ different ways to battle, rental passes that you can mix and swap so that they never go dull, the multitude of things you can do just for battling puproses alone, staggering. And the Mystery Gifts? Items, most of them really excellent, that you can send to DP? True, they're also incredibly expensive, but They're worth it. And the fact that you get a free surfing pikachu holding a lightball just for beating the game? awesome.
As for Wifi mode, I had no real problems with Wifi beyond noobs with their legendary teams. The fact that I can spontaneously decide I want to battle wifi and have opponents available whom I did not prearrange a meeting with I like. battling random trainers is what I like. Having to arrange for a battle over wifi via swapping friends codes and such, like in DP, is too much hassle for someone who flies by the seat of their pants like me.
So in short, a great game, quit griping, you remind me of those star fox people who say "But it's not Starfox64!" That I hate so much, and enjoy the game. It's better than stadiums 1 and 2, it's better than colloseum and XD in terms of actual battle and appearance, so just buy the game.
