Anyone else think LGPE is a whole new level of lazy? Not even in a "lol let's just remove staple mechanics" and "every animation is a static jumping up and down" kind of lazy.
This is their SECOND chance at making a game based on the anime, yet the only shit we get are all the base Kanto characters and Jessie & James. They didn't even bother adding anything like Orange Islands or any significant new plotlines based on those events. They could've even added some random events from the anime to spice up the main game some. Instead they chose to do a 1:1 Yellow remake with some gimmicks added, and that's pretty pathetic. It's the lowest effort nostalgia bait possible and the target audience didn't even complain.
They could've made something actually unique and worthwhile that didn't just look like a watered down mainline game but they didn't.
Can this even be called Gen 1 pandering? It's more like shitting on that entire era.
