>>55881777>competent storyit's arguably worse than Gen 1, and that's only after insinuating Gen 1 had a story.
>beautiful open world with different unique biomesThe open world(s) may as well have been tacked on last-second with how awful they looked visually.
>memorable gym leadersWe are at a point in life when people don't know about the importance of a girl and her dog's unbreakable bond. OFC people wouldn't know about how Gens 1-4 blow this statement out of the water.
>a champion that's actually toughSee the former statement.
>no time travel/imagination/wormhole shitThis is just blaspheme.
>no parallel universesThe games are inherently parallel universes as a function that has been confirmed many times over by the creators.
>no KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO panderingCharizard, and even the way it is depicted in your image, is pandering to its absolute extreme.
>custom characters that actually look customSo we're ignoring Gen 6 and 7 then?
>minimal glitchesThe presence of glitches was almost unheard of before Gen 8. The glitches that exist in past games have to be brute-forced to occur and were not commonplace.
>interesting DLC and an actual post gameLook at that fucking buzzword and tell me with a straight face without using it that it actually has any inherent value.
I don't care if this is fucking bait. You're a fucking zogglet for thinking this shit is in any way redeemable, and I hate you for it with every fiber of my being.
