>>35832952>Ugly startersThey're quite nice, IMO. Especially the final evolutions. Empoleon is the weakest of the three, but it's a hell of a lot better than shit like Samurott or Incineroar.
>Piplup and comic reliefEverything related to the anime is garbage, stop watching it.
>slow saving/movementYou have a good point with saving, but there was nothing wrong with movement IIRC.
>ugly prevos/evolutions to older monsTotally subjective. I personally fucking love Weavile's design.
>worst soundfontThis is subjective again. Personally, gen IV had my favorite soundtrack in the franchise. Sorry you didn't like it, anon.
>Staravia's intimidate taking up timeEither turn off battle animations or start using repels. It's not like you need to grind wild battles to get through the game.
>awful contests comapred to hoenn'sSubjective again. FYI I fucking loathed both regions' contests.
>offended by the Foreign BuildingWhy? It's totally harmless. Nothing creepy about it, either, if memory serves.
>too many legendaries, too godlikeFuck you, I loved it. This is subjective again, but all that fucking lore it added to the franchise was great, IMO. I love that we have a creation myth to go by and all this other cool shit. Better yet, a bunch of this lore came from in-game events related to obtaining them. That's the best way you could get such lore, IMO.
>pokephilia is canon in japanYou know damn well it said the same shit in the western version, too. Just in nicer wording to get it past the kids. This isn't even new to the franchise, there were references to a girl and a tentacool in pokespe.
>LucarioYeah, more furshit was unwelcome, but you can't blame Lucario for putting it into "overdrive". Furfags were already here.
>no fire typesValid point, addressed in Platinum.
>Spiritomb sidequestValid point.
>mountainsYou really don't like using repels, I take it.
>Rock climb and defogRock Climb was sorta necessary, defog was kinda pointless.
>shitI mean, they're animals.
