>>42054127>general linearity and lack of exploration tooThat's more of a gameplay thing than a story thing, and like you said, it isn't exactly unique to Gen 7. My issue, and the reason i couldn't get much further past tutorial island is because the cutscenes stopped me too many times and i just got sick of it. All i wanted was to catch some mons, play in refresh and dress up my daughter/wife in pretty clothes.
>nihilego is my frenI like blacephalon myself, despite the fact that he's the least pokemon-ish of them all. Don't really like the rest of them, Xurkitree can stay though.
