>>34618065>boring badly designed region that forces you to backtrack through caves constantlyThe "backtracking" is roughly on par with most of the games. Noticeably less than the Johto games.
>meh visualsThey're fine. Better than the 3d shit that came afterwards.
>meh OST, every track is slow and meoldic, making battles not as epic of intense as they should beLol.

DP had that issue, but Platinum did something about it.
>story is bland and uninspiredI disagree. You definitely get the feeling that shit is going down and a lot is at stake when the plot starts to pick up.
>team galactic is essentially a reskin of aqua and magma, they bring nothing new to the evil team formulaExcept that Archie and Maxie are cartoon-villain tier retards while Cyrus isn't. Galactic is possibly the most dangerous team and they're actually competent. So much so they have the International Police involved. They're not afraid to blow up a building or an entire lake. They come close to winning too.
>failed to significantly improve DP's main problems, the slowness, region, and storyWrong.
>failed to excel in anything aside from post-game, which is already rivaled by HG/SSAgain wrong. HGSS's post-game is good and comparable to Platinum's, but Platinum overall is a much better game.
