>>34937503I guess the "if you don't like it" gains strength with this game since you can't really hate yourself.
Then again, there are some autists so distraught over games being something beyond raw mechanics than I'm glad for anything that spites them. If you're dead set on hating characters, of course you'll have a bad time.
Personally by the time B2W2 came out I was fucking sick of going through the same exact game progression and the same story with minor variations over and over and over.
So having for once something that WASN'T exactly that (but even without gyms progression is a bit too similar) was refreshing and liberating. And I loved the novelty of NOT being the MC but the actual's MC bodyguard, which is something few games attemp let alone pokémon.
Can we at least appreciate that for the first time there was any reason to actually care about the cover legendary beyond "it looks cool"? (which I don't know if they could achieve without something like Lillie but that's besides the point)
