I see people talking about the story, and really the biggest problems are the following:
>walls of text and yet nothing of worth is said>there are no stakes to speak of>no surprises, the story legendary is the first thing you see, before you even put the game in your 3ds>no side areas to explore to take a break from the story and maybe find rare pokemon or rewards of other sorts, which would add a much welcome break from the onslaught of story>the characters have little to no personality>all the roadblocks quickly instill the idea that you shouldn't do anything but go to the nearest marker to sit through more cutscene trashI wouldn't really care about even the best story but at least make interesting things happen, god damn. I couldn't tell you anything that happened in SM other than "lillie crosses a bridge" or "jellyfish mom throws a pokeball"
