>>39268013it's so shockingly bad that it made me quit playing new pokemon games. Which is sad as fuck because there are cool mons and cool routes and gyms and all that shit. Even a lot of pokemon fangames have this problem. I played Pokemon Insurgence with the maximum turbo speed permanently on and it was barely tolerable that way.
>>39268043What I mean by handholding is constant interruptions in gameplay. I don't need someone to tell me how to catch a fucking pokemon, I've done this shit countless times. I don't need someone to explain how to use whatever faggot poke version of smart phone they made for this gen. I don't need someone to explain what a god damn pokemon center is. I don't need my childhood friends to come tell me what to do in every single route, in every single cave, in every single city. I don't want to do the faggot pokestudio which is not essential to the "plot" and doesn't have any relevant rewards. Just let me catch and battle some god damn pokemon and explore a fantasy world, god DAMN
