I honestly don't care about the culling. I enjoyed every single pokemon game up until Gen 5. The first game I felt meh about was XY and then ORAS. They lacked the magic previous games had. Then Gen 7 came around and basically ruined the franchise for me. I sold Moon about halfway through because it had not one redeemable quality. Literally every enjoyable aspect for me was either removed or dumbed down from previous gens. Also fuck the cutscenes.
My point? All I want is a pokemon game that isn't half-assed. A game with complex route and cave designs, hidden areas and underwater caverns, an asshole or down to earth rival and not the same bubbly faggots in the later gens, event exclusive areas to catch mythicals instead of them simply being handed to the player without any buildup. Is that all too much to ask? Gen 3 and 4 did all of this very well and so should the current games.
