>shit that only got more convoluted and bloated with each gen to appease tournamentfags. Hard pass.It's engaging for those who want it, like myself and competitivefags.
>is what killed the franchise for people outside of the spectrum. A rube goldberg machine attached to a basic bitch formula that was never developed in favor of spurious crap.Pokemon has never, not once in its entire life as a series, sold poorly. It was never in danger of dying. The magic of battling is that casual faggots like yourself didn't even need to engage with that "rube goldberg machine."
Now let's go back to the main point, the fact that there was no trade-off whatsoever for the removal of all of those things. They didn't further develop the battle formula, they didn't improve the visuals, they didn't make the adventure better, they certainly didn't make the postgame better. They are worse games as a whole.
