>>49156681>No, you played the game and saw the same amount of cutscenes I did and came to that conclusion. Unless you literally meant imagine, which would be extremely strange.I mean, I did literally mean it, because even though it certainly feels like a lot of cutscenes, I felt there were a lot of them in Platinum too and I can't be sure which has more. It's definitely an upward trend but there could be dips.
>Yeah, but gen 5 has longer and more frequent ones. Every game has some forced tutorial. Gen 2 and when you get the pokegear from your mom comes to mind. Say no and she explains anyways.I mean the Pokemon Center tour is a little excessive but at the time marts in Pokemon Centers was a genuinely new feature so I understand why it was there. I'd like to be able to skip them and hang out with Cheren instead because he needed a little more development in general.
>Unova has all of those towns though. Sinnoh is kind of guilty of this too, except Jubilife isn't that big compared to Castelia.More just sick of the same old thing, then? I get you, it can get tiresome to see the same sorts of things over and over, but Pokemon doesn't have the luxury of getting to wild. No Mario Odyssey Kingdoms or anything.
>>49156714If you want to go take a visual comparison of every map in BW, B2W2, and XY, be my guest, I know this breakdown of BW compared to XY really put my pacing issues into perspective.
>>49156747I don't mind cramming things into one area, there's something to be said about the convenience of a central hub. It's a shame Lumiose's signposting is kinda shit, way too much of it looks samey and it's very easy to get turned around.
