>>23166037>No Kalos has lots of memorable placesI like how you didn't name one.
Also, that one is the tower of mastery. You got there once. It has no other purpose, no pokemon, no nothing.
Everything else was subpar. The swamp was boring, the haunted house was wasted potential, the abandoned ruins were a pain to navigate. EVEN THE ICE AREA WAS AWFUL. HOW DO YOU FUCK UP AN ICE AREA?
>But Lumiosewas awful. Ten tipping cafes and a hotel does not make a city.
>cherry picking worst charactersLet's see... the gym leaders suck, with a possible exception for korrina just for sheer effort, your rivals are apathetic and quite possibly mentally challenged, your professor isn't much better, and lysandre is a fedora tipper who figured out a way to kill a large bunch of people with the power of pokemon i.e. Cyrus, but just a faggot instead of psychologically damaged.
>tacky outfitsThey are. It's literally a bunch of gay satans wandering around, with the occasional woman with a toxic colour somewhere on her body. Also, Gen 3 did hilariously camp better. Twice.
>Team flare are the darkest villainous teamGonna be honest, they even failed at that. If we're talking sheer numbers, Gen 3 and Gen 4 have them beat seeing as everyone/everyone but one person would have died, and if we're talking about manipulation, Plasma did that twist twice.
Honourable mention for original rocket being awesome.

Platinum is my favourite game
