>>53234247You have bad taste because you think "Pokémon is enjoyed in conjunction with how autist, headcanonny the player can get." which can be translated as
>"It's okay if the region is mediocre, makes no sense, and ruins all its heart by giving out rare pokemon like candy, I can justify it"For all the shit Jotho gets for being "small", it at least understand what it means to immerge the player in a world of mystery. That's why people still talk fondly of exploring Mt Mortar or Union Cave to get a single shitmon.
You can't reach that level of soul, of kino, if you just randomly shuffle pokemon in the tall grass "because the players will make some headcanon about it"
Your other points aren't bad, but these things don't stand the test of time. Nobody gives a shit about the online because it's dead or is on the verge of dying.
In the end, only the SOVL will stand and X/Y has a severe lack of it
