>>44271360>>Ultra Beasts are the coolest concept Pokemon has ever introducedthey're literally just legendaries
>>Really cool lore in Alola besides UBsit's the most basic shit what are you even impressed about
>>Memorable cast of characters (for the most part)I only remember the coombait because you incels never stop posting them and guzma
>>Totems and trials were a great break from gymsthey really weren't, only the first and sixth trial were decent
>>Story was the only well thought-out one in Pokemon historywhat in it was well thought out
>>Genuinely funny moments with Team Skull, no Pokemon game has had good humor besides theseyes because you play pokemon for the lols right
>>Fun mini games like Mantine surf and Ultra Warp Ridethese are generic as can fucking be
>>SOS battles were a good new mechanic for capturing wild Pokemon with good stats or rare speciesnow you're just scraping the bottom of the barrel
>>Quality OSTits ost is only better than sword and shield's, most of the tracks are messy noise
>>Didn't mean anything but gen 7 being the last games with a complete dex is worth notingwho cares when gen 7 added mostly trash
>Conversely, I never see anyone with a good reason to hate gen 7 besides>>WAHHHHH THE TUTORIAL TAKES TOO LONG I WANT TO SKIP CUTSCENES STOP HOLDING MY HAAAAAANDthat's a pretty solid reason to hate the game alone but how about the map design being terrible, alola being small and lacking the amount of exploration older games have
how about the story and characters legitimately being garbage and annoying as hell
how about the new mechanics being trash and alola forms being wasted potential
how about there being no good side/postgame content to salvage the experience
how about festival plaza destroying any desire for someone to use the online component
I can think of many reasons
