>>44061863The outrage leading to the game's launch really made people go full retard. The game is just as mediocre as all the other Pokemon games since 2013, but a lot of surrounding circumstances broke the camels back. Nearly all the criticisms are valid but are greatly overstated. It does feel like a HD 3DS game which most didn't want. Those who say the game is a 0/10 and a disaster are just reactionary faggots that I can't take seriously since they are just as childish as those that say it's a great game and 10/10. The game is around a 6/10 not counting how the finished DLC will leave it.
>they barely have any character hereThat's most Gym Leaders in the franchise since most are only there to be obstacles for you, most are very basic and one note. They save Gym Leaders' development and personality for appearances in the Anime/future games. With the exemption of Gen 5 since Gym Leaders are semi relevant to the plot with them making multiple appearances through the game.
