>>47227689>>The new Pokémon are pretty nice overall, including the introduction of regional forms even it was pretty Gen I-baity.Agree. Gen 7 has a great roster, but I don't think that's reflective of the game itself, especially when distribution was still a huge step down from Gen 6.
>Poké Pelago was probably the only really good gameplay addition with afk EXP gains, EV training, egg hatching, frienship boosting, daily items, and the easiest berry growing system yet.I love the Pelago! True, I didn't account for that in my post. Still, I think most of its functionality was done better by the berry hybrid mechanics in XY...
>Having the Oval and Shiny Charms be easier to obtain did ease the Pokédex collection part to something more manageable. Although the lack of entries for Pokémon not available in Alola was disappointing, at least you were still able to transfer those Pokémon to the game unlike in Gen 8.This one could go either way. It's nice that getting the shiny charm is more manageable, but at the same time, I like the idea that the Shiny Charm (something only wanted by hardcore autists) is something locked behind an achievement only hardcore autists would do.
>Being able to see stat changes in the battle menu is nice, being able to see your move's type effectivenessI can't comment on this other than I think it was actually an okay addition for players who aren't used to the type chart.
>Moving the IV Judge to a PC function was something sorely needed for a while. Same for Hyper Training in a way, however, both beg the question of the continued existence of IVs.It should have been an addition for a new Super Training variant. Prove me wrong.
>Poké Rides needed a lot of work, but it did ease movesets and any need for HM slaves.It was executed in the worst possible way. LGPE did it best.
>Alola Photo Club is a decent time-waster mini-game.PR videos were more engaging and Amie minigames were more fun.
Gen 7 is good in theory. Gen 6 was good in practice.
