>>38922317at least post bw1 they realized the mistake and made bw2 which many consider to be the peak of pokemon
but black and white also introduced 151 new pokemon at least
pokemon games have always been linear, but im willing to say that its gen 6 when it became extremely apparant that masuda and ohmori are a fucking blight
>super training lets you get a max EVd mon from the get go>exp share completely breaks the leveling curve but turning it off ends up being a fucked up mess due to the game being designed around it>given gamebreakers on a silver platter as forced story events but enemy gym leaders or trainers never compensate and crank up the difficulty>story battles are never too difficult and bosses only ever have 4, maybe 5, pokemon while in lusamines case USE THE LOWEST LEVEL OF FUCKING AI, THE SAME WILD MONS USE>only 60-80 new pokemon, most of which are tucked away in rare encounters thus comitting a crime worse than gold and silver ever did>every game now has one battle facility, the tower, with a horrible cheating AI and sets designed not to be fair and simply beat you but cheese victories or outright end a run>focus on telling a story where you're barely the main character due to silent protagonist status and someone else functions as a mouthpiece>poses and animations for pokemon become less dynamic and interesting to look at, some idle animations are extremely questionable and models all have shitty washed out textures for no reasoni think the biggest example of game freak just giving up is in ORAS where they hand you mega lati@s FOR FREE AFTER THE THIRD GYM
AT LEVEL FUCKING FORTY
