Mostly that NPCs are, for the most part, not helpful, that the maps are unnecessarily oversized and the enemy design being confusing, not properly conveying their power level and abilities in comparison (gives an example in which a rope enemy is stronger than even the strongest car enemy) and makes a point about Itoi wanting to break rules that were yet to be written, and that leading to some confusing and misguided design decisions.
Of course he's very respectful and praises Itoi a lot.
Does anyone has the Red/Blue artwork for Wigglytuff? The one labeled as such in Bulbapedia is hilarious. Pic's the R/G one.
