>>37926802I quit SM just after the third trial because I was tired of the long ass cutscenes. I picked it back up a few days ago
turned on exp share because fuck long ass grinds and finished it this morning. I actually really enjoyed it.
Gen 4 and 5 I quit after the 4th gym or so because everything felt repetitive and level grinding was taking forever which made me lose interest fast.
The pacing is fine for the most part, though you can really tell where they rushed stuff in some of the games.
