Holy fuck, I recognize that these games have some good aspects, but pretty much the entire time I've played has slowly sucked me dry of any desire to finish this game. And there's a whole half of this fucking region left, like I like the idea of a post-game but it feels like all that will be left is like 6 legendaries and a shitload more of spamming a+b as I power through all the fights.
In comparison to something like plat, the story was palatable, interrupting scenes weren't over-long, and all the battles felt rewarding when you completed them. And somehow, despite being Sinnoh, that felt like it dragged a lot less than Unova.
Am I missing something?
