>>51285057Pokemon was never all that great, even at its peak. If you play HG/SS/B2/W2 without rosetinted glasses you will realize that a shitton of technical issues exist, similar to the things people point out in the 3d games. I remember being severely annoyed at Black 2 when every time I encountered a pokemon it would take like half a second to load the encounter, and pause the game
And everyone knows that Gen 4 games in general are just a slog to play without a tempo button.
Also, I think the characterdesigns have been consistently getting better each gen. SV has had a rough start, but between Grusha and a few of the leaked Gym leaders I think it'll turn out fine
