No. There's no sense of adventure, the interruptions are so numerous, and the balance so horrendous that I feel like I only stick around for the designs more than anything. It's not fun fighting npc trainers if they all have 1 pokemon, I've seen wild pokemon with more pokemon than that.
I want them to give Kanto a rest, it's so boring seeing over half of that game's dex in every single game ever, it's awful how they pretty much only care about that game, too. I'm so tired of Kanto, holy fuck.
As for the games themselves, they're absolutely loaded with so many awful game design choices (absurd item bloat, horribly unbalanced pokemon, festival plaza) that it makes me wonder how the hell any of this stuff gets through playtesting. What happened? It wasn't always this bad, and it's only gotten worse the more they mistakenly decide to focus on their high school freshman tier "stories." The amount of things wrong with GF/the games are so numerous I could fill an entire thread all on my own just listing off whatever comes to mind.
