>>35190890>>35191323He's right though, the only people willing to defend D/P/Pt are people who started with Sinnoh. These were people born sometime around 1996 or later and are either underage or barely over 18, so they're the current bulk of /vp/'s userbase.
>>35191567>>You can say the same thing about most, if not all, other games in the series. That's true, but the difference is while other Pokemon games are average to good, Sinnoh is a reigon filled with terrible design choices, a complete lack of respect for the player's time, and shit like "Saving A Lot of Data,"
It's near unplayable by today's standards, and even if Pt fixed a lot of DP's issues, the reigon of Sinnoh itself is still horrendous to navigate what with it's terrible Pokemon distribution and over reliance on HMs, meaning you're forced to keep at least 1 HM slave in your team, otherwise you'll need to teach your starter Rock Climb or Strength or some shit.
