The issue with co-op is that it's 2 against 1 in yoir favour only. I would have no issues with them keeping that in the game because the game having the option of being easy doesn't worry me, but I do take issue with the fact that this is the only form of co-op in the game. Why can I not for example talk to these Lasses who are clearly talking to each other and, if the second player is active, face them both in a 2v2 tag battle? Why do they not get reactivated every day so my friend and I can fight them again the next time he comes oved? Why are there not multiple sets of trainer pairs like this across the region specifically for this purpose?
Thisis why I don't like LGPE, that's one of many incredibly easy and seemingly obvious implementations that they just ignored, basically screaming in my face that it's a lazy cashgrab that they gave no shits about when they made. The other thing that comes immediately to mind is the complete lack of a shortcut key to get on and off a ride poke, completely significantly destroying any semblance of fun thay could be gained from flying high around the map post E4 because every 5 wing-flaps you have to manually get on and off via the menu every time it needs to load the next area when they could so easily have had a button that recalled and sent out a selected poke like registered items in previous games.
The fact I can't wear a dress or skirt even as the girl because literally every outfit is a retexture of the default also fucks me off by how blatantly lazy it is. I also didn't appreciate the Safari Zone being replaced completely by Go Park with no alternative use, making the whole area completely worthless if you're not a Go player.
The game as a whole is mostly fun and has brought some genuinely good mechanics to the franchise (the encounter system), but there are just too many blatant cut corners for me to let it slide.
