I love the vibe in Lumiose City- I'd definitely go there. There's a ton of shops and the Wild Zones provide a nice place to interact with nature :). Plus, there's the Lumiose Museum, where Volo's outfit stands glorious in its case... I'm stealing it and fleeing for a life on the rooftops. Maybe pick up Kamado's outfit on the way. I've always liked that Golduck on it. Sure, I'd be an outcast, but why not? With the sheer mass of clothing and hairstyles in Lumiose, I'll be a new girl in a day.

I like Team Rocket because they were the starting point for all of the antagonists, and though their goals aren't as solid as the other teams, you can't help but enjoy their more basic concept and style. Also, the Team Rocket trio holds a place in my heart that just can't be broken ;). My favorite Pokemon character is N of Team Plasma- but Natural is the only good part of them. I hate Ghetsis for what he did to N, and the rest of the team for... well, working under Ghetsis. I agree with Conquest about Team Yell and Star. They're just a fan club and a cluster of students each having an F in the Pokemon Battling course. I like the whole Penny storyline of trying to stop Team Star, but the basic concept of Team Star was really bad.

I enjoy the Pokemon games quite a lot as they are, but I can't help but think that yes, they are getting easy. In games, I find myself hopping from one thing to the next with no difficulty or grind. I think a change that can be made is perhaps a setting for difficulty. Well, to be more specific, I want better level scaling. I like it when I have to spend some time grinding EXP, or when I need to get TMs with effective moves against new opponents. Right now, it seems like players can breeze through the base game without any of this. I understand that Pokemon is meant to also be accessible to younger players that don't want to go through the process of grind, but it would be helpful to maybe have a harder mode that expands on limiting EXP and smarter AI. I want more NPCs that swap their 'Mons and use coverage moves, like we're fighting actual people.

In Pokemon Legends Z-A, the Mareep in Wild Zone 1 has always been incredibly helpful! Its evolution line has served me well (also, they're cute). I've always used Rookidee and the other birds for other games. In terms of overall liking, I enjoy using Rookidee, Fletchling, and all dog Pokemon.
