Lots of frustrating mechanics being done away with or made a lot less frustrating. They improved the type chart. Dragons are still strong but they have to respect the power of Fairy Types and or Fairy type attacks. Poison and Steel types have reasons to use their own attacks outside of STAB. Many older Pokemon got buffs this generation. Not just the Pokemon with Mega Evolution but other Pokemon got buffs in stats such as Clefable, and Raichu(its as fast as Gengar now).
I, for one, am very happy about Scolipede in particular getting stat buffs. It was one of my favorites from gen 5 (and still is).
And it's also more viable for competitive play, what with the abundance of fairies... cough.
But what I mean by "disappointing" doesn't really have anything to do with the mechanics - I'm okay with the mechanics, for the most part. IMO the plot was standard fare, and while that wouldn't be a problem normally, I sort of... had expectations set very high by both friends of mine who played it before I did and gen 5's story focus...
However, I
am looking forward to ORAS now. Big time.
Random fact: I'm going to the beach! And I'm also almost done with the painting I'm supposed to do for my class.
