>>32611465>>32614511There are other problems with SM too—seemingly unfinished maps, Festival Plaza being a poor man's Join Avenue, Pokéride being implemented poorly and most rides not allowing you to cross areas that were previously blocked off instead of expanding the map like good HM implementation should do—but the biggest problem by far is the abundance of cutscenes and railroading. Playing through SM the first time got stale fast and I don't think I'm ever going to replay it unless Gen 7 hacking somehow explodes and someone makes a "low cutscenes" hack that cuts down on the bullshit.
Even though SM is a better game than XY and even though it pisses me off less than the butchering of Hoenn that was ORAS, its biggest flaw just ruins the game for me.
