>>38744169Every Victory road is complete dog shit and is among, if not the worst area in its respective game
>plagued with random encounters, often with annoying pokemon>shitty "puzzles" that essentially boil down to depositing 2-3 of your team members before entering so you can slot all of the shitty battle HMs that you need for their field effects to get through>filled with high level trainers (often unskippable) that are needlessly painful to deal with because you only have half your team with you because of the above>often house some really useful TM or other item(s) that all but forces you to explore instead of just getting the fuck out of there as fast as possible>never designed with backtracking in mind so if you do need to duck out and heal, you're back to the start and the only thing you don't have to do is the trainer battles you passedThe best victory road was the one connecting to viridian city's route in gen 1 where you passed each gate and gave them your badge to go further, and even that one was ruined when that was just the pre-victory-road road and the actual one was just as shit as its descendants.
FUCK victory road.
