>>39416579This is so stupid. GameFreak have never stopped doing this in games, but retards like you try to act like they have because Mythicals don’t have in-game events anymore, which started with Gen 5.
The only Legendary Pokémon in Sun and Moon that were story related encounters were Solgaleo/Lunala and Tapu Koko at the end of the game. Otherwise, every single Legendary required you to go through some bullshit or had to explore in order to find and capture it. And in USUM, it was the same case, but now the only story related encounter was Tapu Koko, and all the UB’s has you do the Ultra Warp Ride and then if you do get to their dimensions most had you do small puzzles to get to them. And that’s not even including all the other rare Pokémon in Alola you could find by doing the side quests. Also, since LGPE are remakes, you had to go through the same dungeons to find the Bird trio, Mewtwo, and Go bullshit to get Meltan.
ORAS was the same way even when it had the Hoopa rings. And iirc you had to go back to Pokémon Village which in itself had a maze to get to, in order to catch Mewtwo in X&Y. And you had to go through Terminus Cave in order to get to Zygarde. You also had to chase down a member of the Bird Trio until you led it the islands.
So really OP, what the fuck are you talking about? Or was this just a a Gen 5 circlejerk thread in disguise? Because if so, MODS
