In anticipation for Sun/Moon I started replaying X (because I still want to believe in those south Kalos theories, clearly, haha) and I'm having a nice time. It gets a lot of flak but I think overall Kalos is in itself a cool looking region and the fashion stuff in particular really pleases me.
To make things more interesting I'm going with a full Ground team, too! Got the fifth badge and so far have a Nidoqueen, Rhyhorn, Gabite and Krookodile. Originally thought about having a Gastrodon and a Gliscor, but I guess you can't get a Gastrodon til after you beat the game, so it might be replaced by a Quagsire.
This whole thing has made me realize how slow, both stat-wise and just overall progression-wise, Ground mons are. Terrible attacks early on, low accuracy on a bunch of them too, haha. Some fights had me going for the Sand-Attack and Swagger and other debuffs to actually survive, which was nice.
