These tutorials are great! Spending a quarter of the game learning how to play a children's game I've played since I was 5, and not being able to opt out of it, is really enlightening!
These formerly late-game Pokemon thoughtlessly inserted into the sequel games, like Noivern, are really viable and I want to train it all the way up to level 48 even though it has the same BST as fucking Togepi!
This villain narrative involving the CEO of a company ordering her employees to assault small children, and then facing no legal repercussions because ~Humbled~, is really well-thought-out.
Having so few clothing choices as a male trainer spares me the agony of too much choice!
Regional forms of JUST KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Pokemon, many of which are completely unviable and ugly as sin, are what I really wanted!
Acerola being irritating pedobait who tries too hard to be cute desu~ is character-building!
Oh cool, an Elite 4 full of people I've seen before and don't care about! That eliminates any nasty surprises!
I spent an hour being told how to play a game I can already play, but no instruction about Adrenaline Orb chaining, one of the few actually new features, made it a rewarding experience to have to Google it!
I wish EVERY game forced me into a digital funpark I had no interest in, and then made me perform menial tasks just so I could leave!
Tiny, forgettable, geographically impossible biomes flimsily inserted for the pretense of type-themed Island Trials are like degustations for my eyes!
Lillie being a hopeless dipshit who needs a 10-year-old child to bodyguard her is very endearing!
