  5. You know what I want to see? Like seriously this is something I want very badly in a pokemon game;

    Let me use features like pokemon amie/refresh/camp without getting bonus effects in battle. It’s bad enough pokemon games are as easy as they are, these thing reslly push them over the edge. I’ve beaten the game but havent even looked at camp for fear that it will make the game braindead.

    Though to be fair, I’m thinking leon just might have my vote for most difficult champion.
