Pokémon X & Y

I've been away from Pokemon the past two gens(I think) but I picked this one up because it looked too good. Damn, I'm having a blast.

First off the the graphics/presentation looks wonderful. The 3D towns and routes are a really nice touch. It just feels like the series is moving a refreshing direction. I love the mix of Pokemon from all the generations and I won't lie, when I heard the original starting three Pokemon were available early in the game, that's what sold me. There are so many new features: super training, anime, wifi/multiplayer, ect...I haven't really even touched that stuff yet and I'm more than happy.

Reading through the thread I saw you guys talking about feeling over leveled. I have to say this is my only real complaint; the EXP stone-thing. At first I thought it was awesome because it meant no more grinding, but after playing for a few hours I'm not sure I like it. There was one fight I had where the guy had like 5 Pokemon and all of mine grew 2-3 levels in a 5 minute span. I mean, sometimes grinding was a chore, but I feel like without it the game is going to be short. Can anyone that beat the game yet comment on this? Does the game feel shorter because of the new team share exp?
