>>43516827>>43515609An objectively good game cannot have major issues in more than one area. Pokemon, even at it's best, is lacking in all the fundamental areas.
>relatively poor graphics>archaic and needlessly obtuse gameplay mechanics>absolutely atrocious UI>shit plot>dated level design>braindead puzzle design(minus the occasional ice puzzle)These games are carried purely by their inherently addictive nature the same way many gacha games and MMOs are. Not by any component game design.
