>>33469139Im not him but this is straight up bullshit.
>The soundtrack, while shorter than most others in the series, is great.Opinion
>Berries and Heart Scales are 100x less tedious to farm.Doesn't affect the game quality
>Champion title defense.At least this one can be counted, except there are the same trainers with the same pokemon who challenge you all over again.
>The battle royal was good because it was actually beatable.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA let me guess, you also think Festival Plaza was good
>There were several areas that were optional, so you could detour during the story (the cave on Melemele that leads to the bay and the second half of Poni Island come to mind).And that's the point which clearly shows that this is either bait or is made by someone who knows jack shit about pokemon games. Go back and play Emerald, Platinum, HGSS and BW2 and see the actual dungeons there, not just an empty cave or volcano entrance which teleports you to the top.
