>contentRoute 1 literally has nothing on it. Route 2 has less going on than any other route aside from Route 1. And it barely gets better from there.
>No, you’re just not trying hard enough to find more ways to play it.Not with how restrictive the mechanics are, unfortunately. DP was already barely fun if you play like a retard, BDSP makes sure even if you're a nerve cluster you never have a single problem.
>Except your decisions do matter and there’s plenty of choice.Not with the way leveling up works on a fundamental level. Eventually you're going to work your way through every unique Pokemon and end up with them overleveled for at least some content. And it's not like PLA where catching multiple of the same Pokemon rewards you with anything, so it feels even worse to repeat team members. It's probably the closest it's gotten to being reasonable since USUM though, I'm giving it credit there.
>I think the actual problem here is that you’re genuinely just dogshit at the games and are coping about the fact that the DS games are only good if you’re bad at Pokemon.If you want me to say DP is bad you don't have to be passive aggressive about it, it's easily worse than XY despite having a lot of similar problems aside from excessive story content to the detriment of side content. The only really fun part of DP is the Cynthia level spike, which BDSP takes away from you leaving it entirely dreadful for zero benefit because the games are otherwise nearly identical (aside from some minor buffs on a few bosses and some gigantic buffs to the player that at best cancel each other out). As somebody who tried to experience as much of XY as possible, from making a living Pokedex to exploring almost all of Lumiose to even getting the Starf Berry in ORAS (functionally identical to XY), I can say it wasn't that fun unfortunately.
