It'd feel so lifeless/hollow without one. Even if it's shit it's better than nothing.

BW having a good story helped them massively to become my favourite games. Its definitely a huge bonus, though its not necessary.

What goes through the mind of someone so terrible and/or beta that they avoid online play against other people and stick to replaying the barebones story mode over and over?

Because online play is just matches over and over again. I want to explore the region again with Pokémon I haven't tried out. It's the whole experience that makes Pokémon fun.
Except the newer stories that get in the way of the adventure, those can fuck off.

And it's not like I avoid it, sometimes I'll mess around with Showdown and teams, but it just isn't interesting.

I think you meant "contrarian", underage.
And most people agree that while BW's story is the best in the series, it's still a Pokémon story and thus shit.

Oh please, it means the same thing. And "best in the series" is more than enough to be consider good, if you ask me. Considering BW's story played out nothing like any other Pokemon games'.

Nah, contrarian is the noun version of contrary, so anon used it right in this sense.
But then again, you'd know that if you stopped skipping English class kiddo.

It doesn't need a story if it actually had a large open world with lots of things to do. But because it's so small it needs scripted story to feel immersive.

Story in Pokemon is inherently repetitive. If I play BW a hundred times, the story will always be the same. The things that change from person to person and playthrough to playthrough are a lot more important to me. The Pokemon I choose, the moves I give them, the path I take, the things I find; that's what matters, because that's what makes my playthrough my own.

Lore doesn't have to be a big intrusive story like BW. I'd like to see more locations like Sea Mauville, where exploring the environment and finding clues is what helps you piece together the world's history. It's a lot more interesting and mysterious that way.
