>>32499423Pretty much this.
Take the bullshit that it's Doom.
Mars something, something, hell, something as well, rip and tear, sipershotgun, glory kill something something, music so industrial it brought back 19th century Britain.
It's stupid but it works because it's over the top, blood everywhere on a place that makes no sense with nonsensical shit, yet it is more fun than any other FPS game campaign.
Pokémon needs to embrace its silliness a bit more and stop worrying about immersion or realism, here have a fire breathing turtle, HAVE FUN!
In that sense Sinnoh was mildly decent, it jumped the Shark with its legends but failed to make it fun in every other area.
Gen5 did everything else right but focused too much on the history, getting to the dreamyard in BW is such a drag, the rest it's OK despite the Waco shit going with team plasma. Seriously I like Unova map, almost every route has optional exploration bonuses, but they don't stop you in the slightest.
Gen6 was...Unfinished, I mean PSS was cool and the dex was varied but kalos feels so unfinished on everything else.
Gen7 is trying to avoid the Sinnoh situation but with the railroad of gen5 pushed up to 11. The moves and Megas where a fun gimmick but they keep trying to be cinematic and it just ruins the fun.
