The Pokemon game that bridged the gap between the old style of games and new games. It introduced common quality of life improvements like being able to manually train EVs via a mini-game system, the ability to improve friendship by feeding your Pokémon, and unlockable places where you could capture Pokémon not found in the game otherwise. The plot was surprisingly deep with themes of sacrifice for love and the cost of blind devotion (a thing many fans complain about, but I loved). Despite having a rushed ending, the beautiful art, story and atmosphere mark it as the high point of 3DS Pokémon. It probably will never come here (Nintendo is really protective of Pokémon!) but hey... we can dream...
