>>33541772For me it was the original Ruby. The fact that from Gen 3 onward the MC is basically the second coming of Christ instead of a random trainer that happens to get in the way of some thugs takes me out of the journey experience quite a bit.
Sun and Moon were actually the first games that made me give a shit about the story, but at the cost of being barely recognizable as a Pokemon experience.
After SM I'm hopeful that it's possible to get the best of both worlds in the future.
