>>31126286>most casualizedPlayed it with exp share off so my pokemon were underleveled and unlike gen 1 ,with the same level difference, you couldn't one shot elite 4 pokemon with a super effective move. So the pokemon are probably EV trained.
>most characters are insignificant to the storyLike in all pokemon game, 90% of the gyms leader, elite 4 etc... are like that
>HM replacementsThis is complaining for the sake of complaining, people bitched for 20 years that HM force you to have certain pokemon in your team and waste a move slot, they find a solution that let you make the team you want but people still complain.
>double battles and battle royale are nearly unplayableNice hyperbole
>most linear game yetPeople say that every fucking gen, but every pokemon game is linear. If you want a non linear game play an open world not pokemon.
>there no puzzlesMost gym doesn't have puzzles, and except 1 or 2, they are easy as fuck
>Totem battles are few in numberYou had 7 totem battles+ 4 Kahuna, in other game you only had 8 gym leader. Also you have a mini-boss on each route who will use Z-moves or more advanced strategy like the ula'ula meadow golfer who use a guts Hariyama and a trick alakazam both with flame orb
>Corrosion (doesn't affect attacking-moves)Who the fuck care, most of the time you cill use toxic to poison anything.
>to Pokemon that will never be able to make good use of themYou mean like most pokemon? Iron fist Ledian exist
>A number of abilities are the same renamedNothing new: Vital spirit and insomnia, Huge power and pure power, air lock and cloud nine etc...
>SOS systemIt also make the game harder, you should like it if you complain about the game being "casualized"
Also you have other methode to ev-train, like the bouncy house in the festival plaza or Poké Pelago
