>>49611485>the RNG involved in obtaining baby PokémonWas already said but it's probably the biggest issue for me. What sucks even harder is how late some of them are. Elekid isn't until fucking Coronet Highlands...why? Magby is locked to late-Cobalt Coastlands as well. I'd like to have these options early in the game but PLA said no.
>turn orderIt's completely unexplained. 40 hours in and I still have no clue. I have a basic idea of it, but then the game just throws seemingly random turns either in my or the opponent's way. It's only gotten me by surprise a few times, so it's not a gamebreaker, but it's frustrating not knowing one of the core mechanics of the game.
>Darkrai and Shaymin events are locked behind having saves of worse gamesFucking why? What was the point of this? Why would I want those piles of garbage?
>scaling slopes/mountainsThere are so many tiny inclines that the player slips on because they needed an excuse for Sneasler to exist and it's embarrassing. Why can't the player just grab onto a ledge and pull themselves up? It's a lot more evident in a game like this where you're otherwise given more freedom of movement, and it looks ridiculous. As if 80% of the game evolved past its grid-movement routes and then 20% is still stuck there.
