How exactly do people objectively rate Pokemon MD games? They all play the same. They all have the same exact gameplay. They all essentially function the same way. Everything else can be seen as subjective - Pokemon design, region design, extraneous features and facilities. Right?

So how do you objectively say one game is superior to the other? It's not like the gameplay is changing. You're still playing Pokemon MD.

Genuinely curious, what determines how good a game is beyond opinion when all games pretty much play the same way?

Predictions:
>Your partner is also a human or some dumb shit like ____Mew____.
>Get separated from partner, but you're still a Pokemon and your work ain't done yet (could just be a separation by mere distance).
>Your character becomes betrayed, but the traitor is actually on your side and either had their hand forced or have a trap.
>The minor antagonist teams up with you against a bigger threat (and may or may not end up backstabbing you in the end).
>The first person you helped out is no longer a sideline character and actually turns out to be a badass when (s)he evolves. Might join your team later.
>You have the option to trust or not trust someone, which ends up having short-term consequences in the story (but doesn't change the ending or other things beyond the reveal).
>You were summoned to help out a group of benevolent, but extreme and unhinged group who want to do something not good (such as remove individualism or emotion from all pokemon).
>The guild you join is at its core good, but someone high up is actually up to no good.

Alright, I'll give a tripfag a benefit of the doubt and bite.

1.) How do you objectively rate a game? Video games have objective qualities, but enjoyment and value, at the end of the day, are subjective.

2.) A lot of game series have games within them that have similar gameplay. Super Mario Bros has different obstacles and abilities, but at the end of the day, you run, jump, throw fireballs, and step on things (that aren't hazardous). Call of Duty has changes and tweaks, but its a twitch shooter at the end of the day. PMD has its tweaks, experimentations, additions, and other shit. While I disagree with the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" argument, innovating too much can screw with consistency, intuitiveness, and control of design.
Examples: Pokemon AI in Super are more proactive and will briefly deviate from you to collect items. In most cases in Super, you can also switch leaders within the dungeon instead of just before going in. Super has set missions instead of randomized missions, and it is possible to actually "recruit 'em all". Explorers introduced outlaw missions where you defeat a special enemy. It also gave you something called "Exclusive Items" that buff certain Pokemon, along with a trader that can swap acquired exclusives for others.

3.) One game can be preferred over the others if someone:
-enjoys the changes to the gameplay of one of them more
-likes the story of one of them more
-music and other aesthetics of a game appeals to that person more
-nostalgia factor

4.) To sum up the above for:
>what determines how good a game is beyond opinion when all games pretty much play the same way?
Even if gameplay was all the same (which I argue it is substantially different, especially when you compare Rescue with Explorers), there are non-gameplay factors that can influence how enjoyable a game is to someone. Music, graphics, sound, background, plot, and other things can affect one's experience with a game.
