I love it man! I'm only just before the E4. I would have beaten the entire game by now, but I've stopped to help out with RNG Research (probably gonna be a while). Basically, it's the same old pokemon we've always loved, BUT, they've added soooooooo many new features (new mons, new attacks, new abilities, new mechanics, new world, new items, new battle styles, new characters, new storyline, online play, random wifi, dream world, multiplayer missions, etc, etc, etc). It definitely feels like a NEW pokemon game, not a "third version rehash" (Platinum) or a "straight up remake" (HG/SS). Even with my very limited familiarity with Japanese (never taken a class), using all the guides out there, it's easy enough to get through, and even still know what people are talking about.
