>>33598280In RBY, when you get stopped by a NPC it's probably Blue trying to pick a fight against you.
In SM, it's just Lillie trying to be "cute". And she stops you over and over and over again.
The focus in RBY was your adventure to be a master, catching and training pokemon. In SM, the focus a human girl who doesn't even trains pokemon.
The series lost its focus and forgot what made it so popular.
I appreciate certain aspects of new pokemon games such as the competitive scene and side activities, but the focus should always be on the pokemon. You can tell a nice story without forcing walls of text on the player.
