>>48134914>Didn't exist in Gen 5.Gen 5 had a frontier replacement. Gen 6 did not.
>No it didn't.Gen 6 did NOT give gym leaders expanded, proper teams to try to by at your postgame levels. Stop lying.
>All it adds is tedious pointless backtrackingThis doesn’t actually mean anything. Shit to do in a role playing game will always be shit to do in a role playing game, even if you don’t necessarily see the appeal.
>every route looking the exact fucking same.You need to clean your glasses
>Didn't exist in FRLG.Fair. Point still remains that ORAS made it home again, in other words Gen 6 removed this feature.
>Yes it is.Fussing hordes don’t replace hidden grottoes. They aren’t even related. Hordes don’t expand the map like grottoes do, and they don’t grant you any rare pokemon. They don’t reward you for finding them like grottoes.
>it's actually better since it also allows for easy EV training.Ah yes. A feature that was dumbed down so that the reward of finding something that was originally made to be rare has no point to it now. Sure it’s useful if all you do is breed up for competitive, but it makes the game that much easier to breeze right through.
>Do you actually know what the Join Avenue does?Yes, I do. Now try explaining how fucking O-powers was worth having all the functionality of Join Avenue removed.
>An extremely useful gimmick that Gen 5 removed.Berries are buyable in Unova, anon. They didn’t remove them, in fact they made them much more accessible in a logical way. What’s the benefit to farming them?
>No it wasn't.Where is the Shaking grass, Rippling Spots, Dust Clouds, and Flying Pokémon shadows in XY?
>Nope.Their shitty unless you can prove try at they are adequate replacements. They are unrelated to the removals.
