>>42716997Now, I totally agree with you on the graphical front. There were serious deficiencies. The start/select menus were dodge, and in battle graphics and these 3D elements were weak. But in terms of world building, of aesthetic, and character these games were amazing. Every gym had a different design, so many dungeons, so many new pokemon, so many little things that made it a good game. This is obvs retrospective, and at the time I didnt love it as much as HGSS etc.
Anyway, dont shit on it. This was not the point it fell apart. That was some time after the jump to 3D.
