What we have here is, in essence, a very realistic retelling of Pokémon X and Y. The Acceptable Breaks from Reality regarding the time it takes to complete certain in-game actions are gone (even Route 1, the shortest route ever, is said to take an hour to traverse), and Team Flare is more than willing to use guns rather than relying entirely on Pokémon to carry out evil deeds. On top of that, Satori is a compelling protagonist, pragmatic and not above using her mental abilities to rattle opposing trainers, yet intensely compassionate towards her Pokémon, making decisions as much based on their desires as on her own. In a way, she's almost like a less sheltered N.
