>>45243599> every pokemon game is easy!some are comically easier than others. just because it was bad before doesn't give it any excuse to be bad now, much less be WORSE.
> every pokemon game has a bad storySinnoh & Unova Exist. also there's a difference between being bland & ignorable versus just being ridiculously shitty & stopping the player after every diaper crinkle just for another 12-minute unskippable cutscene where the rivals suck your cock & shove 14.5 max revives down your urethra.
