[@Raijinslayer] Yeah, Pokemon S/M is pretty good, but thats because they're taking a generic JRPG or Anime storyline and adapting it to Pokemon, when before they didn't really have a story structure other than 'kid goes out on journey, finds villains halfway through, kid beats villains, kid finishes gyms, kid beats Elite 4'.

YOU being the champion is pretty fun though. Makes the Elite Four not such a painful grind as much, even if a properly trained lvl 100 pokemon can sweep it.
