only big complaint was that because of how hard charizard x team was, i had to spend a lot of time trekking back to him from pokemon center. That itself wasnt a problem, its when i get inside the volcano and am running into wild pokemon nonstop. I just didnt like that once I've already done the requirements to reach the boss, it basically takes me 8-10 minutes just to get back to him for a rematch. Tediousness isnt always bad (like ev training or something) but it really started to not be fun especially when I'm constantly tweaking my team to get a little bit further each time in the fight. Like i had a strategy i thought was working but my gyarados missed an ice fang against garchomp so i lost the fight to being unlucky and tried the same strategy another 4 times cuz i thought it would work if my attacks were just hitting. So i wasted a lot of time waiting to see which strategies would work just in the act of getting to him every time.
Other than that I liked seeing snorlax and dragonite which r 2 of my favorite pokemon hence my name getting these xmas forms even though i havent caught either yet
