>>22979274>half the amount of new pokémon were legendaryNot nearly true 15/108 new pokémon were legendary, 5/80 pokémon were legendary of the new one pre-E4.
>any gen 4 evos for past gens couldn't be obtained until postgameAgree, that that was kinda stupid, but 5 of the new cross-evos were obtainable before postgame.
>gym leader and elite 4 member teams were mostly jokesTo be honest I take a little bland teams over the 3-per-GL and 4-per-E4 shit that has been going on in gen V and VI.
>along with that they were extremely boring and had literally no personalityYes, because that sure isn't true for other gens as well, besides some of them like Wake and Volkner had tons of personality. Also reminder that "one out of league appearance"=/= personality.
>tedious areas like marshes, defog area and snowy routesI will give you defog. But marshes were pretty easy if you know what you were doing, it actually made you consider going around instead of in a straight line at times.
>some of the worst villains with "lets create our own universe cause this one sucks"Best villain leader in my opinion. Sure the plan was twisted but we actually got a little backstory on why Cyrus himself was twisted instead of just "i want to rule the world".
This is really subjective but I also want to say that I don't really mind HM's that much(Defog was shit though). Exploring and backtracking are things I like in pokémon games and I don't mind that I cant get all items in one area the first time. Even when they are mandatory I like it because it feels like I'm actually exploring areas instead of just taking a walk in the forest.
