>>50347457People who play the games going into it thinking all their modern pokemon, mechanics, and standard functions (postgame legendary hunting, battle tower/frontier) will be present is the reason why opinions on the games are bottoming out.
Zoomers don't understand why they are important games, let alone GOOD games because they can't into why they paved the way for future iterations to improve on the formula they established.
If anything RSEFRLG fucked up bigtime by not having a hard-established Day/Night cycle, but nah, GSC are worse when functionally in no way different outside abilities and natures, which you could just as easily remove and they would basically just be similar games in every way imaginable.
