Compare that to RSE:
It has 2 of the biggest shithead nimwits as evil teams, the water routes are too bland and lack what an actual ocean has, lots and lots of species of wildlife like fish and whales and crabs.
You never aren't a few routes away from GF trying to suck you ego dick and claim you are a champ with only 1 badge, 1 BADGE! You need more HMs in more plot related thing other than exploration and Victory Road.
The starters steam rolled everything to such a point where only the pseudo legendaries could counter them.
Gen 1's flaws: 2 remakes.
Some dull designs.
Steep level jump at the end.
Route fatigue.
Low variety.
Glitchy and slow engine and menu navigation is a bitch.
Moves don't work 50% of the time.
Most of gen 1's flaws are technical while 3's is from poor execution of design choices and lack of a good script for the story.
