>>44598524Here’s an unpopular opinion:
>You arent railroaded to legendaries, nor are they absolutely crucial to the villain's plan or whatever>the lack of a complex story makes the game more personal, because its YOUR journey, and it stimulates your little kid brain to fill in the gaps of what traveling through this odd world is likeThose were done better in other games, GB included
>The pokemon in this gen were really well designed because they werent trying to make everything cutesyNot really. Most of the designs are generic and uninspired. There are better monster designs in other games
>the games were moderately difficult for little kids and didnt insult their intelligence by making them piss easyPuh-lease, the AI is shit, making the game a breeze.
>legendaries are actually treated like legends, and the background lore/sneak peeks at pokemon like Articuno and Mewtwo unironically build them up much better than "Oh fuck dood theyre going to nuke a volcano with the guy on the cover" Legendary also refers to mythology
>the main character is just a kid on an adventure and not some prophecized hero thats got satan or a time deity as a disposable fighter on his teamGrandia did that better
>the main villains are just gangsters and dont force some hamfisted, faulty philosophy down your throat every time you encounter themTeam Skull are that type as well, and they’re more fun than TR
>the rival isnt a pretentious communist allegory like N or a total wimp like every single rival from gen 6; he's just a charming dickheadSilver and Bede did the rival thing a lot better, especially the former
