>>32600337>Actually polished the 3D overworld, grid is totally gone, no more awkward "sort of a grid but not quite"Awkward camera lag. Characters too tall.
>Not the biggest amount of new Pokemon but still a handful of great onesVery sparse in the environment.
>Finally tried something instead of Gyms that actually felt nicer with the flow of gameplayGyms are something that doesn't need overhauling. There was no flow, you just walk along a linear path and then they interrupt you with a Pokémon or a Team Skull member or dialogue. It would be alright but they act like you're trying to complete a challenge, but you have no control over anything you do. There were also a couple that were like fetch quests. The Marowak thing wasn't a puzzle it was just a lazy way of shoving 3 battles into the challenge. Give me sliding puzzles and teleports.
>Comfy region and atmosphereunlovable, kalos has more soul
>Some nice new battle mechanicsDidn't bother with Starry Night. No mega Solrock/Lunatone.
>Actual story with some actual effort put into ityeah
>Awesome musicThere's only so many time I can stand to hear "Heeyasdljkfnsdfklsdfaslaey".
>Battle facility less good than the Frontier but better than Maisonok
>Online connectivity less good than the PSS but still gets the job doneplaza is confusing and has pointless features
>Zero standards my ass. It isn't perfect but it sure as hell isn't garbage. Still was the most enjoyable gen for me since the journey actually didn't feel pointless,You're not journeying. You're being lead along the path the elders want you to take. You have no agency. You don't earn the ability to travel; it's given to you when your overlords permit you to go somewhere new. Some of the roadblocks were so bad like the selfish lady with her Stoutland.
