Fucking hideous aesthetic
Nothing has nearly as much effort put into it as BW2, plat, or HGSS
USUM and ORAS manage to make even legendary hunting a boring and soulless affair
The biggest drop in soul is that event mons don't have events anymore, just pick up your rare ubergod thing at the fucking Pokemon center.
What happened to Pokemon's SOUL?
Games made with Heart > Games with Soul
>pokemon haven't trailed behind you since heart/soul
>let's go doesn't count
>don't need to throw 50 ultra balls at a 1hp paralyzed moltres to catch it anymore
>new games are super hand holdy
>1hr+ long tutorial you can't skip
>hardly mention pokemon death or slowpokes getting their tails cut off
>only darker themes are found in pokemon descriptions
I honestly really like the newer games but I downloaded mGBA recently and started playing firered for the first time and there's something here I didn't realize was missing
When it switched to 3D, game freak is an incompetent lazy developer. Pokemon would be far better off staying 2D sprites and not adding new stupid mons just for the sake of it, and should be refining the gameplay mechanics and the expanding worlds. There's so much potential it actually triggers my autism that the largest most successful franchise in history is just riding it's popularity from the 2000s era.
What games that?
This is true like 80% of the time though
Gen VII was by far the worst generation.
Masuda and his philosophy of "OLD FANS BAD, NEW FANS GOOD".
Spriter here, for some reason developers don't like sprites as much as 3D models now for some reason.

>or HGSS
HGSS didn’t even fix the issues of the original like Plat or BW2.
