Why is Pokemon in constant conflict with itself?
>emphasize friendship and getting stronger with your bros
>forced to drop them for any kind of competitive/challenge mode

>emphasize sense of adventure and vast world
>content is 99% railroaded

>give player an unparalleled amount of party build variety
>only one save file, discouraging and even punishing multiple playthroughs

>mindless turn-based combat emphasizes spectacle
>battle animations are dull as fuck, especially for a JRPG

>balance game around 2v2
>single player is entirely dull 1v1

>waste tons of resources making the games in 3D
>make no use of it mechanically outside of one diagonal slide puzzle in XY

Why is this series such shit from a gameplay perspective?
