>>50343527Well, I'll list all issues I can remember off the top of my head, even if some of them might've or could've been fixed by Z.
• The game still having a chibi artstyle in the overworld while being 3D is stupid.
• Roller skates have shitty movement and are forced on you, requiring you to use the D-Pad for proper movement instead of the Circle Pad. Seriously, once you get the roller skates just moving around becomes a pain in the ass. This is the biggest flaw of the game.
• Roller skates result in rails being nonsensically placed all over the region.
• Speaking of nonsensical, the region design makes no sense. Biomes exist without rhyme or reason. Laverre is in autumn while the rest of the region isn't because...???. Route 13 is a tiny little desert surrounded on all sides by forest or fertile grassland, and the map shows a river running right through the middle of it. The northeastern half of Kalos is covered in snow, and apparently because of a Gym located way below all of it. Look at how stupid the line of snow streching from Snowbelle to the rest of the region is.
• Biome transitions in-game take place over about 2 tiles, which means one step you're walking in grassland and the next you're in a desert or in snow. It feels forced and unnatural.
• All the Kanto pandering, which is so excessive that Santalune Forest is a literal 1:1 copy of Viridian Forest. My god man, it's like Kanto is overwriting the region itself.
• That and the excessive amount of old Pokemon in the region results in native Kalos Pokemon being completely overshadowed. Kalos Pokemon are outnumbered over 2 to 1 in the regional dex, in trainer teams and in route encounter tables. It's so bad that Kalos Pokemon don't even get representation in the game world; things like statues or billboards are always of old Pokemon.
