>the iconic rival has been dumped and replaced with YOUR FRIENDLY RIVAL who looks like a total fucking fag and gives you free items every time he meets you>they added Mega Evolutions and Alolan Forms, both of which were very controversial with mixed reactions among genwunners>basically all difficulty stripped when Yellow was paraded for making Gym Leaders, the Elite Four and Rival stronger>wild battles are gone, removing any sense of urgency of trouble aside from the odd few trainers that are piss easy to beat now>Pokemon Distribution was altered, the biggest offenders thus far being Bulbasaur in Viridian Forest (who needs that sidequest in Cerulean, anyway?) and Chansey on Route 6>you're bogged down with fadeouts, exposition dumps and unnecessary sequences that the original Yellow didn't need and worked fine without>the games are almost guaranteed to be linear, taking away the small amount of freedom you had when it came to doing gyms out of order and going basically wherever the hell you wanted after Vermilion as you acquired more HMs and the ability to use themAmong plenty of other things.
