Yet it, along with Gen 5 (which I’d have near the top), did something that Pokemon has struggled to get right since, or has maybe never even tried. Gyms should feel part of the town, and as Pokemon continues to drift through the motions of doing the same old, same old, it’s a shame it can’t even repeat the good stuff as well as it should....
