Well that was exactly as low effort and insubstantial as I was expecting, bravo GF. Thankfully when I keep my expectations this low it's impossible to be disappointed.

What does my post have to do with Gen 5?

Also you're wrong, even Delta Episode (which was shit) was more more extensive than RR. At least that actually had a plot and wan't confined to a single building. 90% of RR is padding, fighting grunts with one pokemon (Muk, Fearow, Persian or Raticate) padded out further by atrocious, braindead puzzles.

Are you Gen 5 soyboys really trying to argue that content practice NO ONE bothers with is good? You should be praising GameFreak for the RR storyline since it's something people can actually complete and have fun doing.

This is why your games did not sell nearly as many copies as the critically acclaimed Gen 7.

Yes, let's ignore it. Because i or you or anyone can meme up any facility by saying "it's short" or "it's infinite" and both would be right.

Not even all gens are lucky to have a postgame scenario. GSC and remake, plus Platinum are the pre-gen6 games that have it.

Well yeah these are retarded metrics to judge a battle facility by.

The fact is Platinum frontier has 5 distinct facilities with 5 distinct styles, giving you a great reason to come back again and again for a single player, postgame challenge. It's a big chunk of content, more substantial than any battle facility post Gen IV, and to say otherwise is deceptive. After beating RR I have pretty much no reason to go back to USUM except battle tree, which I've already completed anyway in the previous games and is a huge downgrade from battle frontier anyway. I'm also less tempted to come back for multiplayer battling because they've taken out the massive quality of life improvements they added in Gen VI to reduce the tedium of raising pokemon, for no fucking reason. At least now we have "Hyper training", the most self defeating feature in pokemon history.

The third versions have always been kind of a pointless cash-grab from the perspective of anyone who played the first pair in a gen, but this is probably the first time the third version has added almost NOTHING that would entice anyone who played SM already to play them. Just a couple of highly linear areas and a boss rush. The cutscene bloat and handholding that made the original so annoying to replay are all still there, and nothing about the main story is notably altered. I am very happy to be skipping USUM.

Wow yeah fighting rocket grunts with 1 pokemon over and over is much better than a fully fleshed out battle facility. I especially liked that """""puzzle""""" where I had to remember some flashing colors, but then a rocket grunt interrupted me to fight Muk for the 6th time in the last 20 minutes. That's exactly why I play pokemon.

The only reason anyone was interested in RR was because it brought back the old villains, of course they were totally underutilized and had no buildup because GF are lazy cunts.

That's all objectively untrue though. They're not at all random, unlike story mode trainers most of the BF trainers are based around some kind of strategy, or at the very least type cohesion. Why are you just talking out your ass? Do you enjoy shitposting that much?

Gen 6/7 have potential to be great, its easily there, but GF wants to put itn the bare minimum effort to turn a profit and crank out the next one, because Pokemon is a brand icon and a guaranteed sale by name alone now.

B2W2 is literally the classical definition of kino, an underrated game that becomes more critically hailed as a masterpiece over time. Doesn’t necessarily make it good, but USUM is the antithesis of kino, a well-performing game that was churned out to fill a gap in a release schedule.

Yes, and ORAS/SuMo have been proven to be the same universe. wouldn't make sense to bring in the same maxie/archie, because they failed their goals in ORAS. Megas do not exist in the non gen6 timeline.

B2W2 didnt just magically become a good game a year later, It always was. problem is nobody gave it an honest chance because B/W killed the image for a while.

Look, B2W2 are easily my favorite games next to Plat/HGSS, But even I distinctly remember canceling my pre-order for them when I heard 999 was getting a sequel instead. The interest in them was just at an all time low, and nobody wanted "more Black and white" which is what everyone percieved B2W2 to be.

I know they were always good, but they were underrated at the time for some of the reasons you brought up, even critical reviews were lackluster. Everyone was pushing GF to change their formula, and so we got XY (although of course it was already in development).

we've been over this already, in ORAS there was no chance of controlling the legendaries because their primal forms were too strong. in RSE, they could be controlled, but archie and maxie picked the wrong orbs. in USUM they did pick the right orbs, which is why they have kyogre/groudon on their teams.
i guess the point you're trying to argue is that there would be a hypothetical universe where they have their ORAS designs, and they were able to control the legendaries somehow?

This board is cancer. Why does pokemon attact so many angry autists? Is it because it’s Nintendo?
You can’t even go 5 seconds into a discussion here without some snowflake sperg getting butthurt over the smallest things.
There are problems with the series right now, and people are worried GF will be extra lazy for the switch game, considering it’s a new platform. But me saying this is blasphemy of course, GF is the greatest, Joe is God, and my starter is better than your starter.
No wonder this is a containment board.

Rinse and repeat. Fanboyism is bad, and it’s why GF will never change, because it makes them money. When they try something new it loses money (Gen V as a whole wasn’t as successful despite being more unique—no old mons for first game, relatively more complex story, and sequels instead of third versions with a lot of postgame)

Sad part is gen V was as close to a real JRPG as pokemon has ever gotten, and people got pissed about it, despite Pokemon being just that, a JRPG series.

It was nice to have a breath of fresh air and to go about get pokemon I was unfamiliar with, first time in over a decade I was really excited to play pokemon again. In all honesty, I started Pokemon with snap and red way back in 97/99 and while I like the series, after 20 years i'm sick of the constant flashing back to gen 1. I lived it, most of us lived it, we dont need to be reminded it exists every single game. I want the franchise to evolve and expand, become something new, something interesting. In a way Alola did that which was neat, but it didnt go far enough. The series refuses to live to its full potential out of fear of stepping on fanboys.

If they fleshed it out a bit, made it a proper side story, with the villains actually DOING something in Alola and interacting with the world in a meaningful way, and added a new area or two, I'd be willing to pay around $10.

Well for a start, make the villains actually do something other than standing in a house waiting for you to beat 4 grunts, and then saying "wow if you existed in my world things would be different", then disappearing.

They're villains, they should be wreaking havoc on Alola. GF was too lazy for this though so they just shove them all in a house and pad it out with insultingly terrible puzzles and grunt battles.

They might as well have just lined up all the villains in a room and let you battle them there and then, that would've been less tedious at least. Delta Episode, for all it's flaws, at least felt like an actual continuation and expansion to the main story.

You're right, they might as well just remove the overworld from pokemon altogether, traversing it is annoying. I'd rather everything took place in visually identical rooms full of rocket grunts with 1 pokemon each, and a few color memorization puzzles to break things up a bit.

Face it, RR is completely disconnected from the plot of the game and the world of Alola, and that's not a good thing whatever way you try to spin it. Just because the game tries to justify it doesn't mean it's not shit.

The only real difference for those universes is that the ORAS counterparts are a pokemonfag (Archie) and a humanityfag (Maxie) while in RSE they were all about making an ideal world for both humans and pokémon. Having different motives doesn't make you less retarded.

Because that'd be retarded, they repeatedly said they were used Aether for its resources if they didnt wait till the very end to bring in RR it would have been nice having each of the leaders to fight in different areas but they all had top tier legends in their parties, the average child wouldn't stand a chance so they couldnt risk losing the player
