>most effort put in the franchise>most attention to detail>best designed dungeons>biggest postgame>normalfags shit on it because "muh charizard">retards on here picking a few QoL bad choices (character interruptions, hard mode being retarded to unlock) and calling it "casualization"Learn what casualization actually means, you fucking morons.
>proceed to cherrypick the weakest designs on the dex (which happen every generation) and say the entire dex is bad, ignoring everything else>"w-why did GF stop putting effort after the games with most work got so badly received?"Sure, correlation doesn't imply causation and we have no way of knowing if that was their reason or Masuda just lost his mind by a random event. The thing is, if you don't like where the franchise is headed right now, but also think gen5 was shit, you honestly deserve it. You deserve all of this.
Also, another anon had an interesting theory that Masuda's design policy was being influenced lately by the fact that he has two daughters.
