>>42218479normally i don't engage gen war retards, but this thread sucks anyway so i don't mind ruining it
what makes you hate gen 7? "too much talking" is not a valid reason
i was a bit sad that the maps were simpler, but they still had interesting optional areas and side paths, and getting a z-crystal is literally the best reward for exploration in any pokémon game.
other than that: trials are great, ride pokémon are a direct improvement over HMs, the key battles are a lot more interesting and challenging than 90% of the series, i loved most of the new pokémon, the region was pretty and immaculately detailed, the cast was more developed than any other pokémon characters. it's not my favourite generation but it's up there
