The game is mainly the same as the others, but it's fun. So far I have 4 badges. The game starts off with you going to a lake with you rival. Once you get there, you'll get attacked by a Mukkuru, which is lv2. After that, you and your rival keep the pokemon that were used (Your rival will keep the type of pokemon that beats what you picked(Water beats fire, fire beats grass, and grass beats water)). You'll be getting lost unless you use a map of which to go to because you won't always be going to the right gym. You use the bottom screen to pick your actions, attacks, ect. Only new thing in battles is the type of attacks. Theres special and physical attacks that'll affect its power. Now theres Super Contests. Its mainly the same from R&S, but now, in the first stage, you dressup your pokemon with different items. In the next stage, it's dancing. Its like follow the leader. The top screen is used to see when you need to press the buttons and your position (so you know if your the leader/follower). The bottom screen is to press buttons. If you need to press red, press red, not to hard to understand. 3rd stage is the second stage of R&S. Not much is new here other then the 3 judges. Theres also no pokeblock in this game, but its now bread. You put a berry in the machine, and you use the bottom screen to rotate the bread to make it a higher lv. If you want to know more info about the game, just ask.
