>>44415989Take away the fluff and look at them mechanically, they are dragged down by terrible design choices.
I judge my games by their game play and dear God the Johto games are bad in that department wich is such a shame since I love those 100 fuckers with all my heart.
I'm speaking from a place of love coming from loads of replays, you can pinpoint the moment Johto goes to shit and never recovers.
>>44416009Most of NU Pokemon are either near extremophiles or fit right with the geography and habitat, I know this hurts your pride but just look at floaroma and tell me that flabebe doesn't fit right in or Gogoat in the stretches near mountains, if done properly we could get a Dex split like XY did and improved habitat list like BW did with the reintroduction of pokenav/radar features.
Thinking like a purist will only result in another remake with Johto exp curve instead of a proper quality of life improvement over Sinnoh, fuck it I just went through pearl and I'm playing platinum right now, I don't want a rehash of pearl Sinnoh I want a better Platinum.
