Because its so fucking linear. Even in the towns, you have like 2 paths to choose from. I really miss the style of almost getting lost in the pokemon world, and stumbling on hidden paths. This whole "HERE IS WHERE YOU GO YOU STUPID CHILD" mentality the pokemon games had started with X/Y IMO, however even then, I remember fondly going off the beaten path and discovering hidden items and TMs.
In case that were not enough, the fucking NPCs literally stop my game to a grinding hault and LEAD ME SLOWLY to a point of interst. Or better yet TALK FOREVER about where im supposed to go and do. Just incase i forget, they put the objective in the town map. SO WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TAKING SO LONG TO ENSURE I KNOW THE OBJECTIVE IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO REMIND ME IN THE TOWN MAP?!
Even the joy of finding hidden items is gone, they fucking sparkle for you, because i guess I, the player, is far too stupid to check a likely spot.
My team is over leveled. God forbid i try and run the game with just one team of cherished monsters. Nah, I have to switch some out with trash mons to act as EXP sponges.
Again, god forbid i have to win some battles or do some early game shit to earn money and pokeballs. NAH, im given 30k poke dollars and 25 god damn pokeballs to start. Because once again, im a stupid child who can not be burdened with the task of earning them for myself.
