>>36594851>1st pointYou missed battling mon, because all those things should be intertwined to make a cohesive gameplay like it was
battle wild pokemon -> catch mons
battle trainer with caught mons -> train mons
use trained mons -> get specific prizes (beat league, symbols, ribbons, etc)
Its all connected, GO ruins that.
>2nd pointEh, kinda but not really, at the end of the day the biggest problem is the same, getting a friend to have the version you need so you can get all the pokemon, only this time you do it not because you dont have anyone else to do it, but so you can have sure you are doing legit. The rest depends on the person, if they know their mon is real, then its fun for them.
>3rd pointEh, i dont agree but i dont disagree either, his arc is fine, nothing amazing but it does its job, which leads to your next point.
>4th pointYou are mostly right, but for me to get invested on doing all of that autistic shit, i should at least be partially be invested on the world and things presented to me, so a "decent" main game is required to me at least not feel the repetitiveness closing in too soon.
>5th pointYou are not even wrong, the best moments in the 1st games was the raid in both the arcade and the Silph Co, or even the caves and the old mansion. A good dungeon is extremely underrated by most pokemon players but they ae what get you invested.
