>>42417045The drop in quality is a personal thing. The only legitimate thing to complain about is the national dex shenanigans and charging money for older Pokemon.
>>42417061They were also piss easy games and outside of specific areas (like every game) are linear as well. They also resold you pretty much the same copies of the game since the very beginning with minor changes/adjustments, and its only now that you're adults do you realize how stupid of a practice that is and how predatory it is.
Again, they're made for kids, not adult autists who flip out over Pokemon not being specifically made for them. Times change, either change along with them or be left in the dust. You've become the boomers of Pokemon.
