>>33643979>GamefreakObvious bait, but I don't really disagree. The real problem with battle facilities is that all of them follow the exact same streak or level 50 formula, only with a few gimmicks attached. The AI in Pokemon is atrocious, they never switch and will always use the same tactics, so they're very easy to exploit and beat. This is also why Truant Durant is a popular pick in the Battle Subway and Maison, it's impossible to lose if you use it. The "best" Pokemon games (at least, the ones /vp/ praise the most) are all great games, not because they have some shitty facility but because the main story mode is fun, and there is plenty of side content to do in between or in the postgame, like Pokeathlon, Underground, Pokestars, Contests, Secret Base making, dating, etc.
