>>39087102Gen 7 could've been amazing, I loved the new Pokemon designs and a bunch of the characters, I loved that they tried something new with the trials. But the games are so hand holdy and interrupt you every five minutes that it's legitimately hard for me to get invested enough to play them more that 1-2 times, not to mention how linear they are. Even the rotom dex was a really charming idea, but it turns to everything but charming when you realize it literally cannot shut up.
That's been the real problem with Pokemon for me
and frankly I'd be willing to abandon the national dex if it meant they'd fix the other stuff, but let's be real, they won't.
