>is boring assSubjective. I happen to think it's one of the less boring games. The story is engaging, the world is fun. Also random fact: Unova is the first generation to give every city completely unique music tracks.
>the rivals are useless and substancelessNot really. Bianca's got a whole arc. Cheren is mostly bland. N is the fun one, he has this whole dynamic with the player. Hugh is cool, but almost edgy. Better than rivals that literally do nothing to the plot and could very easily be removed from the story and very little would change (Tierno and Trevor).
>the villains seem to have an interesting ideology but the game completely shits on any potential it has by having the grunts kick munna 2 seconds inI still don't get the problem with this. It's to make you question them. Make you think "hang on, maybe they are bad"
>we barely learn any lore about the twin brothers or ancient cities from thousands of years agoSo? Every gen has missing lore. Lore that's either completely missing, or needed another game to explain. An example would be all the little murals scattered around the Sinnoh region, like the one in Mt. Coronet that gets destroyed during the story. Plus there's locations that aren't explained much, like what happened in the Old Chateau?, who built Sky Pillar (before Gen 6 there was no lore on it), why is Spear Pillar destroyed (before PLA we had no explanation).
>nothing is done with the 7 sagesI will agree, they didn't do much. At least we had a small storyline in the BW post game that involved searching for them. Plus you battle Rood and Zinzolin in the sequels.
