In my opinion, the 4th gen battling is an improvement over 3rd gen. The only thing I find slightly annoying is all the spikes being used. Stealth rock makes you think twice before adding a flying type on your team.
Never claimed it wasn't an improvement. I'm just not accustomed to it, so of course my first reaction was something along the lines of "The f'ck?" when I first tried. Shoddy was weird. I hated the GUI, and the special/physical split thing wasn't like 3rd gen, so I was a bit confused at first. Not owning a 4th gen game made it harder to get used to it. For now, I'll probably stick to 3rd gen metagame since I'm more used to it and I can easily predict the movesets more often. Hmm.
