>>32368340It had four main flaws for me. First was difficulty. It was too easy. Everything was too easy. Having access to Mega Evolution only made it even easier.
Second was the level design. The aesthetics were good, but the level design was terrible. They took the formula they've been applying to 2D games, and tried to use it on a 3D game. It doesn't work. Just moving is a hassle. The skates didn't help that.
The amount of content. There was basically nothing to do other than fighting the League and Maison.
Characters and story. Before SM, Pokemon has never had good characters and story outside of spin-offs. But at least they're not annoying, most of the times. In this game, though, they're actually shit. Did they really expect anyone to care about a fat faggot going on about dancing?
There are some tolerable characters. Like Calem or Emma. But they don't get any screentime. The retards do. Generation 5 had tolerable characters, mostly. Fuck the entirety of Team Plasma, but the rest were at least tolerable. And TP were the bad guys, so I got some satisfaction from destroying them. But now they take Team Plasma and DPPt tier characters, and shove them in your face as friends. It was annoying to say the least.
ORAS partially fixes the characters and level design, and SM fixes the rest, so I'm happy GF at least know where they fucked up.
