>>32846614Controls are absolute dogshit. Despite being 3D rendered, you're still walking on a grid, and you don't get a wider variety of movement until you get the bicycle later.
Sky battles, full stop. They're literally only there to remind you "Hey! You should always have a Flying type on your team!" and nothing else.
Player customization is extremely limited. There's not even an option to take the damn hat off.
On that note, the field character models look fucking awful. It feels like instead of designing characters that look good in 3D space, they converted character sprites into 3D models. ORAS is even worse with this; look at the Professor's fat stupid head.
Dull, uninspired, forgettable stories with obnoxiously long cutscenes. At least with Sun and Moon, they TRIED making likable, memorable characters so you'd have at least a little investment in the cutscenes. X and Y? Who is this big red fucknugget? Why does he have alien probes on his back all of a sudden? What's this glowing deer? Who are these kids - who contribute absolutely fucking nothing - following me everywhere I go?
I played Sun & Moon first, and then decided to start X, and I can't fucking stand it. There's a whole lot more I could bitch about, but I'm too tired. How did you deal with this?
