>>30442282>Just because the game doesn't force exploration down your throat doesn't mean it's not there
It isn't there. How many times during this game would you want to go somewhere only to be cut off by some asshole on a Stoutland blocking the entire street? Or the captain barricades?
>there are several optional side areas.Oh yeah, those tiny bays with small islands a few steps off the shore sure were fun to explore!
No, it was the slowness of the new Pokemon that made it more difficult. Speed is an important stat. When the opponents have Pokemon that are much faster than yours even when yours are higher leveled that alone makes it harder. The totem battles weren't too tough. As for the red card stealth rock, what was that? One guy in the entire game? That somehow makes up for the shit AI everywhere else? What about moves selection? Lusamine's Pokemon only have 3 moves each.
>Maybe if you rushed through it like some ADHD retard.Mashing the A button through the text does not somehow make there be less text in the game. I don't know where you came up with this idea.
