>>42443093- The removal of the Vs. Seeker or any sort of equivalent is a detriment to these and every subsequent game
- Team Plasma basically suffered from 3rd Case Syndrome with the mid-game because everything from Castelia until Dragonspiral is basically pointless to their primary goal and came off as them being in those places so the player had someone to battle
- There is again a lack of connection between the events that transpire in the game and the NPCs, the influence of Team Plasma on the NPCs is non-existent and there isn't much that suggests how important the conflict between N and Alder is since no one even shows up to watch the battle despite it seeming to have an impact on the very future of everyone in Unova
- Legendaries were fine but being forced to catch it was a bad move, you'd think having the story give the player the option to prove that just because someone possesses a powerful Pokemon doesn't mean they're the strongest around would be something they'd want to encourage
- Landorus is a shit to get due to requiring both versions and also requiring roaming captures
- Virizion and Terrakion should've had their own dungeons for the player to traverse to get to them
- The gameplay at this stage is now falling pretty far behind other RPGs in terms of engagement and variety
- PWT and the Black City/White Forest stuff were nice post-game additions but they don't make up for lacking the more creative side of the Battle Frontier (stuff like Arcade & Pyramid)
