I’m curious to see how they’ve made the gameplay. I’ve briefly played the first one on 3DS and it really didn’t appeal to me. Felt like it was targeted to someone much younger, but this sequel with all the coffee references and references to the movie feels more like a nod to the movie which did really well with old timer fans.

I probably need to go back and replay to make a more objective opinion, but I remember the feeling of Gen 2 with the day/night cycle, breeding and baby Pokémon, and then when Pokémon Crystal came out with animated sprites during battle. Definitely my favorite.
