>>229582661) Absolutely no artistic involvement whatsoever. Compare that to HG/SS which really made Johto pretty and every town unique. OR/AS practically just copy and paste the same look for each town.
2) The game is fucking easy as hell. I'm aware that R/S were as well, but they could have ramped up or at least shaken things up. Each battle is predictable and have an Admin for Team Magma/Aqua just have one or two pokemon is a bummer. Give me a battle that really tests me ffs.
3) Slow down at times during battle. Especially with shiny pokemon which can stall for up to 3 seconds (rare).
4) Not enough variations of the old music. They should have really made more remixes for each town like they did with HG/SS. That shit had some soul in it.
5) Very little additional content. Yes, we get the Delta Episode but it's short and nothing to challenge you. The last battle with Zinnia is a joke since you can one shot everything with Rayquaza.
>>22959165>HGSS are shit with their level curveI'll agree with this statement. It's unfortunate that Gamefreak never tackled this issue with Kanto and Red.
