>>48144465>. I still explored the underground, I still used fossils, I still used SpiritombI did too, fuckhead, but I sure as fuck didn't do it on my first ever run through Sinnoh, that's simply too much of an obscene timesink that was clearly meant to be done later when you're filling out the Dex pages. Congrats on exploring the undergroud, that's great, but that doesn't make up for how out of the way Sinnoh's shit is, nor does it make up for the horrible distribution early on. You're projecting your own experience onto everyone and pretending that's the standard, which it's not, if you can't accept this, then there's no point in continuing.
>Your entire argument is that the games don't hold your hand enough so they are bad.My argument is that the games suck because the Pokemon are nowhere to be found, leaving most people with the same selection every time. Swinub, Eevee, Porygon, Magmar, Electabuzz, Snorunt, Tengela, Lickitung, Togepi, NONE of these Pokemon are available until postgame in DP, no one gets to use the shiny new cross Gen evolutions that take a huge chunk of the Pokedex because DP routes are filled to the brim with Staravia and Bidoof. That's objectively shit design that took Platinum to come along and fix.
You're seething and coping because you refuse to face the facts that DP had awful distribution and everyone ran the same team, the facts that this very thread are built on, because you are incapable of understanding that not everyone is as autistic as you, or had other people to play with, so getting Spiritomb ingame was impossible.
And that's JUST Spiritomb, this isn't even getting into how Pokemon like the Skorupi and Croagunk line are both carelessly thrown into the Great Marsh or how Munchlax is probably the single rarest non-exclusive Pokemon in any game because Honey Trees are designed to waste your fucking time.
DP sucks, if SWSH and LGPE didn't exist they'd be the worst games full stop. Get over your nostalgia.
