>>12213279I can't speak for everyone but BW1 were seriously disappointing. That super tiny dex, while ensuring we only used new pokemon, hurt the game's variety something fierce.
Also, annoying things like making super weak pokemon like Joltik and the eletric eel baby wait until 40 to evolve into a usable form.
The linearity of the region and its layout was piss poor (the bridges were filler, Entralink consumed a vast a mount of space, the southwest area was unused). 40% of the region was blocked off, making for the shortest playthrough in the series.
The intense amount of handholding each time you reached a new area or the constant harassment of 3 rivals (none of which were good) got on my nerves.
Lastly the champion was junk.
