>>27036432>first half of the game ignores the main conflict, filler makes multiple conflicts seem like the "main" one>intro introduces a seemingly important item that doesn't get mentioned again until more than halfway through the game>guild members outside of Chatot don't get developed before special episodes which weren't in the original release, they're all just there to believe in the main characters>second half of the story is just above in full swing, everyone accepts Grovyle immediately because "the main characters do" and everything goes perfectly>villain is (once again) just a legendary who dindu nuffin>REAL villain doesn't show up until post-game ("it was me all along!") and doesn't get punished for his actions>boring slog of a post-game with a "twist" that spoils itself hours before it happens and an unsatisfying conclusion>Shaymin Village was the only good part of Explorers' post-game, and it wasn't even in the original releaseWhy do we like Explorers again?
This is an exaggeration but I actually didn't like Explorers' story that much and the special episodes were way better. Freely call my taste shit. But at least it was better than Rescue Team.
