>>31928267>>Gameplay9/10. It's Pokemon.
>>Level/map design7.8/10. I loved the island design but it could have been bigger.
>>Auxiliary features and content7.5/10. I would have given this a 6 if I hadn't gotten the 4000 FC reward, since at rank 40 the plaza gets a lot more enjoyable due to custom options and better shops. Pelago was amazing, I pray they don't ditch it.
>>Music + sound10/10. Some of my absolute favorite Pokemon music came from this. Themes like Aether Grunt Battle, Poni Canyon, Iki Town, Po Town, all amazing.
>>Graphics5/10. I have never given any Pokemon game a good score on graphics, usually a 3 or lower. This is marginally better because of the lack of chibis and recycled sprites, but the 3DS can't handle it as best it should.
>>Writing and storytellingAs much as I personally enjoyed it? 9.7/10. As much as I think it was worth as an overall story to a typical (but not deliberately cynical) /vp/ poster? Probably a 7/10 to most, at lowest a 6.
>>Replay value/longevityI'll rate these separately.
>Replay2/10, I would not want to replay these since I have a fully upgraded Pelago and clothes, etc.
>LongevityI can't say for sure. However I'm still enjoying them so I'll give it a tentative 6/10.
I don't really think most of /vp/ hates these games as much as the vocal OPs may suggest. I suppose it goes through the whole "can't like something new" on most /v-/ boards.
