>>41432197>And what is 4th gen's content?It has much bigger routes choke full of secrets and optional areas to find like the Fuego Ironworks or Wayward Cave. It has tons of optional battles. It just has more areas and routes and dungeons than other games in general.
>Because from what I played, it's the same shit as before. I played 3 generations before Gen 4 and it felt so identical that I couldn't even be bothered to finish.And what makes the other games you've put above it NOT the same shit as before? All Pokémon game have the same structure and gameplay mechanics aside from gen 6 and onward starting to have their own gimmicks. I mean, you've put White as one of your favorite Pokémon game, I don't see what it has that you love it so much more than Platinum.
>If all that content is post game, then that doesn't do me good when I'm so bored of the main gameThe content isn't all post-game, but yes, it does have a tremendous amount of post-game content ON TOP of all its main game content.
>At that point I just wanted to end it but the game said no. You gotta keep jumping through hoops because the gym leader forgot there was a power outage and that's why he hasn't had a challenge. Seriously, fuck 4th gen.I really don't see why this bothers you?
Again, all pokémon games follow a similar structure. You go through routes, you go through caves, you capture Pokémon you like, you level them up and evolve them. From time to time the new town will have a Gym or make you fight the game's Team. At some point you get Surf and can now access a bunch of new areas.
Why does it bother you so much that you have to find the gym leader ? From my point of view, what you're calling "jumping through hoops" IS the Pokémon gameplay. I see it as much of a "jumping through hoops" as, say, having to beat the Team Rocket at Goldenrod before being able to go get the 8th gym in Johto. If that's "jumping through hoops" then what are you looking for in Pokémon?
