>>46530944I just defended X and Y but this image gets more and more fallacious the longer it goes on. Especially the Kanto pandering counterargument. Most of that stuff is just a framework, series tradition basically. A Snorlax obstruction and a free Lapras surf is a deliberate, intentional nod, to Kanto specifically, as are its three Starters being the first set of starters to receive Mega Evolutions.
That in and of itself isn't really a bad thing until you look at Charizard and Mewtwo getting two distinct forms depending on which game they're in. That, in specific, is more than a respectful callback, it's pandering to Genwunners. It's like they're going.
>Look the new stuff isn't bad, your old favorites are included too! Try it!This isn't a bad thing, but it's definitely a reality.
Also, forcing you to use Lucario is still kind of cringe because it's the same thing on a more general scale, given Lucario was also in Smash iirc. If you want to look at that as Sinnoh pandering, you can, but I would say its more furry pandering, since there are definitely people who just like Lucario, as opposed to "Gen 4".
>Every Pokemon game has a bad story.I wouldn't say that. I would say that they're mostly simple stories. Just because they aren't complex doesn't mean they're bad.
What, in particular, makes RGBY and GSC's storylines bad? Include the remakes in this.
