>>36548439pokeride is literally a detriment though. HMs were far from perfect but pokeride and now shitty starter problem solving button from LGPE actively diminish the feeling of going on any kind of adventure when every problem is solved by either having a free monster you don't earn handed to you and able to be summoned literally anytime anywhere, or by making a pokemon who shouldn't be able to even do these things chop down trees, summon a fucking balloon chair, or produce a surfboard that magically propels you across water

>>36548472i'm not sure why game freak apologists are convinced that everyone who calls LGPE shit are waiting with baited breath for game freak to vomit out another lazy product in gen 8 for them to clamor over, and not just waiting to see just how bad it'll get.
