>>37617423>SMReally enjoyed it, the new pokemon were pretty good and the region has a well thought-out, consistent atmosphere with many areas faithful to real landmarks. Characters and plot were decent. it’s miserably slow to get off the first island but really fun after
>USUMI was expecting a game that was going to build on SM similar to how B2W2 furthered BW’s plot, but they ended up being shitty cash grab Upper versions with few changes from the original. Content that was added was really good, like Mantine Surf, but new plot isn’t consistent and the story is overall botched as fuck. Good games if you haven’t played SM, but lazy third versions and not worth full price
>LGPEAbsolute garbage, bought secondhand and resold. FRLG have their issues but they’re 14 years older yet manage to be way better kanto remakes than LGPE. A pokemon game that cuts any Pokemon is automatic trash. following Pokemon and overworld encounters are the only good features
>OverallSM are good games, probably in my top 5, but Gen 7 was dragged down by its lazy third versions and unplayable remakes. SM being pretty decent introductory titles doesn’t save the generation as a whole
