>>33545408>Hyper Training.Which is brought down by the fact that you have to be level 100 which is fine by itself but not so much when it takes about 6 hours per Pokémon to level from 60 to 100 and about 6 and a half in total.
>A decent story.Though unfortunately bogged down by tutorial shit and a complete lack of exploration as it nips at your heels.
>A new battle mode. Again brought down by the fact that it's not last man standing, or doesn't at least have the option of doing it that way. also brought down by the fact that two long time battle modes were removed that were far better than it even if it were last man standing or had the option.>SOS battles as a new way to encounter Pokémon.Brought down by the fact that it just interrupts casual/completion play where you can't really weaken something if you want to catch it lest you wish to only be able to throw one Poké Ball every 20 turns. Meanwhile if you actually want it, many of them take forever to call things in. SOS battles should either not happen until post game or, more ideally, would ONLY happen when you've used an Adrenaline Orb and would cause them to ALWAYS summon in help so as to not waste your time.
>New Pokémon.Brought down by the fact that there are so few, a quarter of which are legends and most of them that aren't have a 1 in 10 chance to appear at best. I spent 5 hours trying to find a Mimikyu for fuck sake. Guess who got called "Fukayu" when I finally found it?
>Replaced HMs with Ride Pokémon.Brought down by the fact that you can't use HMs at all anymore/can't use your own Pokémon for Ride Pokémon. Also that Tauros stupidly replaced the bike meaning you're forced to use both hands to hatch eggs now when you never were in the past. Finally, cant forget they removed the accurate DPad to provide you with a shortcut to Ride Pokémon when they already had a shortcut in Y which worked just fine for registered things in the past and would've continued to do so.
And many more.
