>>30816354>Heavily plot driven.>All games prior had a very simple formula: collect all gym badges and become the Champion of the respective region while defeating the Regional Crime Syndicate in the process. This is changed by making the Crime Syndicate the focus of the actual game more than a secondary objective.What? It's not really a main focus till the very end of the game. You still have to collect badges and defeat the pokemon league like any other pokemon game. B/W just made you do it for an extra reason.
>On the rails.>Previous gens required you to accomplish certain objectived in order to advance forward, such as a task needed to get a certain HM or the a-ok to advance such as the guard in Gen I and it's remakes. Gen V instead makes those optional which breaks away from the minor objectives needed to achieve your major obiective, reducing actual difficulty of the game compared to previous generations.Okay, what? You still do this in the main game. How does it make it easier? It really has nothing to do with difficulty. It makes no since for difficulty to be a flaw with these games seeing as how easy Gen VI in general was. Pokemon was never really that hard anyway.
