>>32572561SM wasn't fun to me because the Alola region felt like a theme park. Even moreso than Kalos.
I hated how the gen 7 pokemon had ridiculously low encounter rates and oftentimes appeared in only one area in the entire region. I don't mind a small amount of new pokemon but not when they're so annoying to find.
Alola forms were cool but there were so few and far between that what we did get may as well have been brand new mons.
It was also too easy, even when I only used a 3-mon team.
I thought SM was gonna be my favorite Pokemon game for not focusing on beating gyms and getting badges, but it turned out the Trial challenges were the same thing.
>>32572617World of FF's writing was infantile and the battle system was a mess. It should've been standard turn-based instead of being ATB garbage and you should've been able to begin battles un-stacked.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and Digimon World: Next Order are really good monster catching games.
But I know how /vp/ hates anything with Digimon in the title so I don't expect you to give them a chance.
