>>29885066Alright, let's analyze those hot opinions/facts
>90% of the new pokemon were garbage and they forced you to use them, locking you out of 493 Pokemon for no reasonThat was a step in the right direction in my opinion since it actually feels like a new region and forces the player to adapt.
>Shitty story shoved in your face every 5 stepsPoint taken, you did get stopped every so often.
>Awful character designsSuch as?
>Weather warsPoint taken again, but the HAs were a nice idea that made pokemon once useless quite good, Feraligatr stopped being shit for example.
>Shitty use of the bottom screen after Gen 4 perfected itI agree, but it makes me wonder why couldn't they add the C-gear as part of a Poketch
>Godawful region that is a straight lineNot as straight as many like to say, there's a lot of stuff you can find by backtracking with Surf.
Kalos was a much worse offender, that map was really deceitful.
>No postgame other than 3 towns, two of which had absolutely nothing in themThey were the first entry in the series after all, and the Postgame was actually quite hefty, around the same level as D/P
>Worst starters in the seriesYeah, pretty much
>Most of the new Pokemon were bargain bin versions of existing pokemonThey covered the same niche, as in "token cave rock pokemon" and so on, but they do look quite different
>Worst sprites in the series after Gen 1Arguable, for once you could see the entire body of the pokemon at all times and avoided shit like pic related.
>Hard mode only unlocked after beating the game onceThat is sorta retarded even though some games also do this, but that's in B2W2
>Have to fight the E4 twice to become champion and their teams are not changed in the rematchesNow that is just untrue, they get 2 additional pokemons each.
>Worst villanous team Now that is a hot opinion right there, but no team will ever be as bad as Magma/Aqua or Flare.
Especially Flare which was a rich kids club.
