>>34279643I like exploration and completing side content, things like battle facilities, contests, Pokéathlon and Pokéstar Studios appeal to me greatly. Things like bases and underground are fun as well. Collecting Pokémon is also a huge draw, which is why I rate the 3DS era a 5/10 instead of a 4/10.
ORAS >>>>>>>> XY > USM > SM
>ORASIt's based on a solid pair of games and has motherfucking DexNav which alone would make me like it. It also gives more megas, most of which are my favourite. I'd rate these 7/10 in the grand scheme of things.
>XY5/10. As much as I dislike XY it introduced some great things, trainer customisation, PSS (now dead) and megas (death pending). The game itself is nothing to write home about though, every aspect is as mediocre as possible. Pokémon variety is all it has going for it, and SM/USM have that.
>SM and USM3/10 and 4/10 respectively, USM getting one more point because of new mons.
Gen 7 as a whole has been absolutely nothing but wasted potential and bringing back features and making them worse.
>ALOLAN FORMESHoly fuck. Concept is 10/10 with a 4/10 execution. There aren't nearly enough, and while Muk/Raichu/Exeggutor are brilliant you have shit like Ninetales/Persian/Dugtrio to fuck it up.
What even is the reason for Alolan Ninetales existing besides wanting to appeal to a demographic over making a clever regional variant?
Dugtrio and Persian are just them wanting to take older mons and make them LE SILLY XD with no clever reasoning, unlike Exeggutor.
>BATTLE TREEWhat if we merged Tower with the idea behind PWT and gimped both aspects
>FESTIVAL PLAZADoes this even need to be explained? It's a worse Join Avenue.
>BATTLE AGENCYBattle Factory but based in Festival Plaza. I haven't even touched this yet because of what I've heard, but if it works like I think then it's another watered down version of a past feature.
Continuing in next post.
