we're then left with the pokemon game with the most content ever, a revamped ost + gba sounds for nostalgia, the pokeathlon + sinnoh battle facility, qol and soulful features like following pokemon, always available menus, toggable running shoes, radio songs to help get pokemon and so on.
you don't have to love or even like them, but if you vouch against any of these features you deserve the shitshow the franchise finds itself in now.
