>>38984957>Gen 1 is a buggy messThey even joke about this.
>2 has fucked level curve and distributionThey didn't even try to fix it in the remakes, they just ported it with graphics and walking Pokémon and people ate that up.
>3 had limited Pokemon selectionNot to mention it started the legendaries hijacking the plot trend and a weird pacing problem after Lilycove.
>4 slow as fuckThey did fix the speed and distribution on the third region, however the environment slowing you down is still something I will criticize.
I would like to draw attention to something gen 3 and 4 actually did great in their design, their victory roads was a great final act filled with good conceptual demonic spiders and scarcity of resources, something I will always praise in RPGS.
I'll need a whole post to discuss gen5, it's not bad but it has a terrible first impression.
