>>44379226The entire series desu
I read the manga and watched the anime before playing the games, and that shit was a major disappointment overall. Other games like BoF and Arc the Lad captured the feeling of the anime more so.
But if you want specific examples
>SnapEntire game was an on rails shitfest that only lasted a couple of hours/ I wanted adventure with pokemon, not some safari bullshit
>R/B/YIncredibly easy even as a kid, I leveled everything to 50 and blazed through the game.
I was expecting cool things like the races and dealing with crazy shit like giant tentacruel in the anime, but got none of that.
Team fights weren't even a thing yet.
>stadiumIt was nice to see the battles in 3D, but nothing touched, also no exploration or cool shit.
>TGCHad a nice ost and alright for what it was, but I wanted more story
>G/S/CIt was good for what it was an took full advantage of the GBC, I really enjoyed it, but I was wishing the cool fantasy shit that happened in the show and manga would happen in the games. I honestly didn't care about custimzation and teams, I just wanted a good story.
>r/sAfter becoming a teenager and finding JRPGS I took one look at pokemon r/s in the store in 03' and decided to get FFTA instead and stave off pokemon for good as it was complete shit compared to everything else.
>Mystery dungeonCemented the fact that gamefreak was utter trash because this title actually had a story and strange events unlike the main series.
Honestly from the start I wish the pokemon were more like people than animals/collectibles and the series was more akin to shit like dai no daibouken.
>inb4 furries.Maybe I just liked the designs, but never liked the series itself from the start.
