>>34232483This. This is what I hate from most recent games. Back in gen 1, they made you think the story was only about Team Rocket until you reack Cinnabar and find about Mew and Mewtwo in a lot of tossed diaries. The fact that the only "cutscenes" were when certain NPCs gave you items or you fought an important character made the game faster and less tedious. This remained untouched in the remakes and until gen 3. In gen 4, they simply shaved Lyra to stop you a lot of times to tell you pretty much basic stuff, forcing the player to follow annoying directions to "create a link" between the player and the game. This became even stronger in future gens, especially Sun and Moon, and because of the fucking models cutscenes are way slower and somehow show even less emotion than they used to. This is what annoys me from the most recent games, and the fact that they are trying to make games with less replay value in order to "create character development"
