>>58568953While I largely agree, I still think poketubers as usual are far too lax with how many issues the game has, I also felt like one of the most obnoxious fucking issues with the game is how fucking terrible the Pokeball hit detection is, holy fuck dude, it's so fucking shit.
I think the combat is actually fairly interesting, but rather flawed, it does become more interesting against actual players, since niche stuff like Teleport and Protect become even more important and you need to get the timing down, hell, Detect has a shorter cooldown than Protect by a decent margin, but the timing is so tight to get down and definitely requires some skill to use. There's also a spacial awareness you need to keep in mind, as well your Pokemon's timing and cooldowns that are unique to it. As is usual with Pokemon, NPCs in game don't fully abuse the mechanics to their best ability besides stuff like Protect. I entirely feel and agree with the fucking point the Kalos Megas SHOULDN'T have been made it online bullshit, I love Delphox and Chesnaught and I was pissed with them getting shafted so hard.
>>58568967I assume you didn't play ZA, but there's a zone, I think it's zone 12, it's a park near a river, early in the game it looks like a fairly normal place, but eventually Ice types take it over and the landscape completely changes to a frozen snowy area, it's one of the best zones in the game due to how visually interesting the march of the wild Pokemon gunning for Lumiose is. Gamefreak could absolutely have used Pokemon invading an area for a reason as to why the landscape has so drastically changed.
It also sucks there's one "dungeon" in the entire game, the sewers area should have been way bigger, we could have gotten a crypt area, hell we could have gotten something cool like an observatory area that's experience anomalies due to the Psychic Pokemon that moved in.
