The games actually had content and postgame. Enough to where the following can even be forgiven- The new pokemon have crappy designs, power creep became power jump, the region is ugly and a giant circle (to be fair, Sinnoh started this trend), has the most eyebleedingly bad graphics of all the sprite games, the overarching plot was annoying and had the worst evil team but despite all that, the games themselves were good.
