>>49504109>You’re not bombarded by tutorials or any thing. At the beginning there’s a tutorial portion that’s slightly annoying if you’re an adult with functioning brain synapses but it’s less time than it’s ever been.>You're not bombarded by tutorials except for when you are!I don't care if it's "less bad"; it shouldn't be mandatory to start with, and they're made even worse with those silent mouth flaps.
>All the unskippable cutscenesAnd that's the problem. The cutscenes aren't skippable even though games from forever ago implemented cutscene skip.
>If you can’t deal with 17 minutes split into tiny chunks over the course of 60 hours you have bigger issues.Ad Hominems are not an argument.
Also the game isn't 60 hours long.
>You do not have to go “catch a bunch of bidoofs”False. You have to complete "research tasks" (aka fetch quests) in order to progress in the game. Any claim otherwise is sugarcoating it.
>Fetch quests happen naturally and rarely do you even have to go out of your way in an annoying way to complete them.False. You have to defeat Pokemon with certain types of moves, have certain Pokemon use certain moves over and over again, etc.
>Wild Pokémon do not force you to fight themIt's more that claiming Trainer battles are a waste of time is a bad take because you're always getting into battles in RPGs for EXP, money, and items.
