>>35807168>So is bad character designEvery gen has bad Pokemon. Let me guess, your examples are Vanilite, Trubbish, Klink, Basculin or Druddigon and you're gonna ignore the literal other 80% of the dex that is fucking amazing
>an extremely linear regionRegion being linear doesn't mean shit, its still one of the most interesting and varied in environments, music and theming.
>forced cutscenes and tutorials"Cutscenes" are short as fuck and BW and BW2 have some of the shortest tutorials in the series you fucking retard. You get Pokeballs almost instantly in both games
>removing the efficient UIThe UI in gen 5 is fucking great
> run toggleThis is a valid criticism, I hate the removal of it too
>shitty rivalsHugh is the only bad rival, Bianca and Cheren are fine and both arguably have the most fleshed out rival arcs alongside Wally and Silver
>and no Battle FrontierPWT and White Tree Hollow and Black Tower more than make up for it.
