>>28676512The story is not to my taste mainly because the narrative is too active. I don't like ebing stopped five times throughout Chargestone Cave in order to be spoonfed monolgues from N or obvious instructions from Juniper or Bianca. I prefer there to be lore without a narrative, like in Sea Mauville.
It doesn't make any sense to me either. There isn't really any character development. N is persistent in his beliefs throughout the game, contrary to a character with actual development like Silver.
As far as the designs go, refer to pic. Obviously it's subjective but the amount of Pokemon I don't like is far greater than any other gen.
