Typing this from the past

Only on the first rival battle but some notes:
-That rival music is pure ear worm.
-The menus. Good lord the menus. Love the neon bits for the start menu. And what's this, new battle screen? WELL DAMN. Love the big, central fight button.
-My imagination, or is this game faster then BW?
-More menu goodness! The route things are surprisingly fresh. Not gonna ruin it for you guys, but they are quite a surprise.
