>>22985420>collecting them all>lost of variety of pokemon>easy to understand battle system>many side-quests that differ each game (contests, pokestar, even unity tower and vivillon)>exploration of an entire region each game>lore (in ones that do have it)i especially love collecting things like the foreign language dex entries, diplomas/trophies, and furniture (love the sinnoh villa). i do play it less for battling, but since this gen i've started experimenting. i really wish they'd bring back the five trainer stars/card upgrades. it feels too easy with only three. generally though, i mostly just like travelling around. pic related.
