>>48135084>The non linear approach also hurts the story.It's an RPG. You're supposed to create your own story. Not all of us require hand-holding.
>Team Rocket is just awful in these games. They feel terribly out of place, they pop up at what feels like random places for no clear reason.Maybe you should pay attention to the story you were just complaining about a minute ago.
>The entire Goldenrod episode isn't some climactic event like fighting Cyrus in Spear Pillar, or challenging N in his castle. No, it's boring and largely uneventful. There's really no buildup.The Pokemon mafia taking over the largest city in the region isn't eventful enough for you? I guess you'd rather them be yet another doomsday ecoterrorist cult like literally all the subsequent villains.
>Kanto here feels empty, because it is.Are you really complaining that a GameBoy game made in 1999 didn't have twice as much content? They almost didn't include Kanto at all before Iwata was able to compress the game enough to fit it all on a GameBoy cartridge (1980's technology, by the way). GSC looks amazing for what it is.
>Gen 2 just doesn't work for me.Literally git gud.
