When i was watching the pre legend battle cut scene for X&Y i was like omg where are we going now, turns out we weren't going anywhere & i'm suppose to catch it already. Throughout the battle, i thought Xerneas would run away, but no. I caught it on my second Ultra Ball. Throwback to RSE, i used over 40 UBs to catch rayquaza (I used my master on groudon

)
Then i spent the next few days telling myself it was really good. B4 i realised what absolute **** the game was.
Conincidentally, this is how my feelings for Applause developed.

Ugh the plot twists in BW

When u didn't need to face the champion

When N's Castle destroyed the E4

When Zekrom flew into the room

when a N had a legend

then having to battle Ghetis

having Gym leaders & Rivals that made relevance to the plot.
