>>37611105In all honesty even though I like the franchise itself all games feel "eh" after replaying. After a second playthrough you just notice the flaws more and more and the parts that are literal bullshit (like SMs cutscenes and babysitting Lillie) quite literally had me on the verge of outright starting to hate some of the games (mostly XY and SM though). It's not something exclusive to Gamefreak though, feel that way about almost every Nintendo game out there. Bowsers Inside Story was literally my favorite DS game for quite some time, but after replaying I noticed how fucking retarded the minigames were and how much they actually force you to use shit like touch-controls and the microphone. Not to mention that it's piss easy after having learned all enemy patterns. It all sounds like nitpicking, but if there's huge chunks of a game littered with BS it all piles up, even if everything outside of that is fun.
