>>28278556>replacement for Team RocketThe only thing they have in common is that they're another region criminal team. You could have criticize them by saying they started the "bad team awakes legendary" trend.
>awful routes in the water where you get stuck easilyThe fuck? They were incredibly open and with a single look on the map you could easily set sail to the place you wanted to go.
In fact people tend to complain about the little exploration they had.
The only awful thing on the water routes was the complete lack of pokemon variety.
>secret base being bullshitExplain.
>battles being slower because sandstorms and rainIrrelevant. That happens in half of the games as a natural part of the immersion.
Battle speed should be measured purely without punctual gimmicks, and gen3 wasn't slow.
>fiery path locked away because you need rocksmashHMs have always been a bitch when needed to traverse. That's a fault on the whole franchise.
Unless you're saying the locked part inside the Fiery Path with Strength, which is just your usual exploration in the Pokemon games.
>if you pick the green memelizardThere's always picks like this in the games, which make them more fun.
I agree on the rest, the stupid bikes and the horrible pokemon distribution were the worst.
