It really was.
No more exploring the wild unknown. Here's your fucking city, follow other peoples footsteps instead. Want to have some piece and quiet? Fuck you, here's your very best friend forever.
Gameplay first? Fuck you. Here's your plot about some autist. We're not even gonna commit to the dubious morals because it'd undermine our series, but pay attention to the new shiny cutscenes anyways.
Want a complex region? Here's a literal fucking circle. Also, half of it is fucking empty.
Want replayability? Well fuck you, there's like three dozen pokemon you can actually use to play through it, so enjoy your repetition.
Meanwhile, we're still not even going to put in the effort to make the game actually look as good as a DS can make the games look like. Also, useful lower screen tools? Lol get fucked. That's work. Here's another monkey.
Fuck B/W.
