>>35813986Subjective flaws: These are things that some people either don’t mind or enjoy, all the more power to them.
No old Pokémon
No evolutions of existing Pokémon
Very limited amounts of water types to choose from
Very linear region
Huge amounts of cutscenes and handholding
Very low Pokémon variety during the main game, seriously B/W has the smallest pokedex since gen 1 but several are exclusive to each version, are legendary or are unobtainable until the very end of the game / don’t evolve in a reasonable amount of time.
Very small amount of side areas/ optional dungeons
Too many legendary Pokémon in regional pokedex for the total amount of Pokémon.
Routes are often straight lines with nothing more to them
Many original Pokémon feel unnecessary as they're simular/ heavily inspired by older Pokémon
Large number of rivals constantly interrupting the adventure
Game constantly throws rival and enemy team encounters at you throughout the game
causing them game to feel very slow and full of roadblocks
Team plasma's final motives fall flat and leave a feeling of missed potential
Dousing machine is a massive pain in the ass due to you having to turn it on and off constantly
Bottom screen lacks usefulness of previous games
