>>53653194>Universe gets less gritty (ex: trainers lost their whips), True, but the contrasting tone would pair with gen 1 if it was only 2 gens as intended.
>large amount of bad pokemon make the the roster less than stellar when you now look at it as a wholeAt least they made the new mons more obscure, explaining why they were unseen before and making them prizes for more involved catching challenges. They should be more viable though.
>plot format standardization kills the believability of the world (etc)see
>>53653367>Terrible gender/breeding system, terrible night/day system. Awful new types as if the the type chart wasn't already convoluted and redundant enough. Baby mons could be better and dark is questionable but for the most part this is a list of good additions.
>The devs were from Kanto not Kansai/Kyoto so little details and nuances of the region get lost and it no longer feels personal.I'd guess the devs know Kyoto well and Johto/gen 2 has more personal touches than Kanto/gen 1 anyway.
>Anime influence seeping into the game(outside of pokemon yellow that could have been dismissed as an inconsequential spinoff).I don't see it unless you mean Lugia, Ho-oh, and Togepi which are all great.
>Shift from urban soft scifi to magic ancient legends.See the first point.
