>>45426773No, I DID play it. You're correct about the main story being really short, I beat it in 9 hours on my first playthrough. The problem is, there are to many fucking cutscenes in those 9 hours and there's way too many fucking worthless filler fights that impose zero challenge.
>>45426785They ARE cutscenes. Gamefreak is just so goddamn retarded that they only consider cinematics to be cutscenes.
I don't know about you, but being constantly interrupted by worthless dialogue is fucking atrocious. Up until gen 7, cutscenes were honestly pretty short and you could mash them. Now they're too fucking slow because our wacky characters gotta do dumb animations and look at Leo's fucking Charizard pose why can't I mash this look it's Sonia and she's giving me another fucking item. It's SLOW and a goddamn chore to replay
