>>46445634I agree with you, mostly. But they are much better games than what we normally get. Pokémon as central characters, protag, friends, bosses and villains. Leaning into their species archetypes and sometimes breaking that mold for a more contradictory and interesting character. The biomes are 10/10. The ecpsystem distros make perfect sense, non of that XY bloated route environments that make zero sense.
Randomly generated dungeons are just good design. I honestly wish we’d get something similar in the mainline games for once. Like a psychic or fairy themed cave that was impossible to map out and really hard to get to the end of.
Mystery dungeon is legitimately difficult by the end of you haven’t saved up properly or fuck up and lose your gear
