>>48667523>Forced EXP share>Forced AmieshitThere's no benefit to not using them (unlike items) so I don't subscribe to the self-imposed challenge bullshit, it's not my job to balance the game I'm playing.
>Removed Base CustomizationIt was barebones in the originals anyway so not much of value was lost but it does suck they didn't just make it good.
>Removed Game CornerThis one upsets me but realistically it's just a TM grind. Far from a deal breaker.
>Pokémon variety is still trash unless you waste your time with a crap gimmick you get after the 2nd gymI *actually* do stuff in the underground so it's whatever.
>Unnecessary hand holding and road blocks that weren’t in the original game>Copy and pasted trash animations>Horrendous game presentation (made in fucking unity)>No Ranked Battles>No new contentSucks but also to be expected from this shit franchise, it is so fucking easy to make a pokemon game good, my standards are low as shit.
>Pokémon scaling is trashAggravating to the extreme, but I've given up on new pokemon games ever having good scaling. Again, standards low as shit.
>Given two free mythicals before the first gymThis is fine.
>No Battle FrontierNot buying it over this, all I want out of a modern pokemon game (because I've given up on another Colosseum/XD-type game) is a good post-game to fuck around in. The battle tower gets stale and you need variety. The battle factory is goated. They keep treating it as an afterthought even though it's where I spend the majority of game time in. The expectations are so fucking low and they still keep fucking it up.
