>>36551610its hard for me to make a delineation where i feel things fell off because like, for some of the things i hate, for example: the escalation of storylines and legendary pokemon. i already thought the story was fucking garbage by diamond and pearl. of all the things that i dislike they all kinda got worse at different rates sometimes would get a little better one gen then much worse again the next.
the straw that broke the camel's back was absolutely the new expshare in the same game they were fucking THROWING free extremely strong pokemon at you. but it's not like there was a very gradual incline then a gradual decline and a fall off, it was more like just insane constant peaks and valleys where sometimes i would be riding so high and then wondering why i play pokemon at all and when all challenge completely disappeared all the highs were suddenly not very high at alls and all the lowest points remained the same
hope that makes sense! im very sleep deprived and not going to scroll back up and re-read before hitting submit.
