>>33144808DP are often considered some of the worst games in the series for reasons including:
>unbearable slowness in battles>unbearable slowness in menus>mediocre roster of new Pokemon>very poor regional dex with bad distribution>boring and unintuitive story that makes barely any attempt to improve on previous titles>evil team is very silly, unthreatening, and badly written>started the trend of having a dozen legendaries in every new gen>poorly designed region that forces the player to backtrack (not a good design choice for a JRPG with set levelling)>towns are mostly bland and have no defining characteristics>music moved away from gen 3's upbeat "trumpet" music to a soft, slow, and mellow style, which was fine for routes and towns but it didn't fit in with battles at allThose are the main flaws I can think of right now. Some nostalgiafags like
>>33144937 just say that Platinum fixes all of these problems, which is blatantly untrue. The surfing speed was not the main problem with slowness, the main problem with slowness was in battles. Platinum did add a unique legendary section and a better regional dex, but didn't improve on much more.
