Good music, worldbuilding, some cool mons, some cute mons, some shit mons, something for everyone. Neat locales, neat human designs and personalities, neat region themes, occassionally neat map design, good atmosphere and good nostalgia shit. Good worldbuilding.
But weak gameplay, hampered by a lack of initiative to evolve, always brought down by shitty gimmicks, refusal to cater to hardcore fans, bad balancing, easy difficulty, stories either dont exist or are poorly written, increased handholding, shit competitive scene, shitty shilling tactics and favoritism for mons, talented devs held back by Masuda and Ohmori (And James). Refusal to get better graphics or better programming routines. Crunched and rushed as all hell. Lack of polish, unfinished content.
Actually no I change my mind, this series is a 3. Its a 6 in my mind due to nostalgia. Im here for the shitposts only.
