Nice to meet you guys! You can call me Chris.
Boy, do I love this game! The GTL is awesome, you can just buy whatever Pokemon you want, or if you're doing a casual playthrough and want a Pokemon under your OT, buy one of those Pokemon and Ditto and just breed, simple! I love that so much, it got me an Axew right after the fourth gym.
I also like how you can just ask someone to help with trade evos, if you want to evolve your Boldore, for example. Helped a guy out that way and felt really good.
Overall, holy crap this game is so good!
