>>34075968>Hoenn had just as much exploration paths as Alola, don't kid yourself. Go through and count them if you don't believe me.You're the one making the claim. You do it.
>You thought that battle royale and the photo club were the contests and secret bases of SM?They're the only additions that can be considered significant and unique.
>SM had trainer customization, poke refreshXY also had these, it's become the standard outside of remakes (no customisation in remakes because GF has continuity autism), it's like saying day/night cycle and breeding in BW is a plus.
>Pelago especially is significant and definitely on par with at least secret bases.Not even close. You aren't given a base you can customise and move around in, you're given that shit that they had on external sites for gen 5.
>The PWT wasnt as big as the frontier but it was bt far a much better facilityPyramid alone blows PWT the fuck out. PWT is great but saying that seven unique facilities (besides the Tower) are worse than it is pure delusion.
>And don't lie and tell me that half of the frontier battle facilities just had you try them out once or twice and then never do them again. >The consecutive battle challenge one and the rental one were the only facilities I played.Just because YOU don't bother to complete the content in these games doesn't mean others won't. What the fuck kind of logic is this?
>I don't have the time or effort to prove itNo shit, you can't prove any of your bullshit because you're a fucking newfag who's only played the recent games.
>the slowness wasn'tIt's commonly cited as one of the best improvements Platinum brought.
>issues with the storyLike what? It's typical Pokémon shit. Only gen 5 ever made a difference on that front. This isn't a plus for USM.
Get the fuck out.
