>>26952314Holy shit fucking this. I honestly feel sorry for all the assblasted jerks that shit on the franchise because "MUH GENWUN"; or, possibly worst, "it's been the same game since forever", andthen they masturbate watching the trailer of Gears of War 4 which is the EXACT same thing as GOW2 that I played almost 10 years ago.
I'll always buy pokemon games because the idea of having hundreds of possible team mates and a battle system that, for how balanced, is still a lot deeper than the usual RPG if you get into competitive and breeding, and surely with more variety.
What kills me is that the concept (even leaving aside battling but just the idea of adventures in this world) is one that feels always open to more possibilities, and each game feels like it didn't tap that potential fully. The last game that gave me that feeling was BW2. I don't think ORAS is as bad as people here bitch about, but when I find in Hoenn the same fucking battle maison I saw in Kalos I legitimately get pissed off.
tl;dr: GF had the luck of coming up with a god tier concept, but rarely live up to the potential
