>>23516685>I also like how the Gen 4 games have more of a story, but don't hit you on the head with it like 5 and 6 do.Yeah, I think that Platinum managed to find the sweet spot of story/freedom.
I really enjoy Gen I and II because of the real lack of story and it's more of an adventure (with some obvious plot elements thrown in) but Gen IV story was actually done well. Gen V I don't mind too much, the forced plot can be a little much at times but Gen VI is an absolute train wreck.
