>>40415886>each game is about the same in quality as the one before and after itIf it was still 2005, you'd be right.
The Pokemon games that focus more on story are clearly worse than the ones that don't. Game Freak has never been able to write a story that isn't absolute shit, so the more they focus on it, the worse that game is. Wasting the players' time by making them mash A for several minutes is objectively worse than pre-Gen IV games.
