I finally got back into the series after losing interest in late 2013.
X and Y were NOT the tea for me, from the story so far, the fact that there were only 69 new pokémon, the concept of mega-evolution, etc. Plus, even though an actual 3D Pokémon main series game was in high demand, I kinda miss the charm of sprites being the main art style. HGSS and BW were among the prettiest Pokémon games imo and they used a mix between sprites and 3D graphics.
But like, yeah, aside from that, I got Alpha Sapphire, and just recently beat the Pokémon League, and now I'm gonna work on training other pokémon while also doing the Delta storyline. It feels exciting to love the series again.
