>>48425755>>pedobait protagonistsEvery game is like this.
>>terrible jobmon starters, owl is okayNot an argument. The starters are good designs, if you don't like them catch something else or transfer a Charizard.
>>non stop cutscenes and hand holdingBetter than having barely any dialogue at all like SWSH. USUM made it better in the areas where it counted.
>>completely forgettable story despite the non stop cutscenesFalse, like it or not it isn't forgettable, maybe if you have Biden level Alzheimer's
>>no gymsFirst legitimate point.
>>ultra beastsSecond half-legitimate point, the designs are generally of poor quality and the world weren't fleshed out enough but it was a good concept.
>>z-movesVery strong point.
>>regional formsStraight up retard take, regional forms are of one the most significant things they did that brought new life into the series, and are the only gimmick that they haven't scrapped.
>>routes that feel like straight lines, although some of this can be explained by 3dMostly it's the dungeons that suffer, but SWSH did this 5x worse. In almost all cases Gamefreak lost their ability to handle elevation and layers in dungeons where they were able to do these in XY and ORAS just fine although the latter was a remake. I blame Ohmori, for allegedly being a map designer he doesn't seem to know shit about routes.
>>3dVery legitimate point. More and more I've been thinking about rather than them doing these basic bitch 3D games as a concession like with LGPE and BDSP where it's really bad, they should instead make a game in the a style similar to Octopath Traveler so they aren't wasting time on minimizing the amount of autists that are going to complain about the textures on the trees. Gen 5 remakes would be a perfect game to test this on since they were basically already made in that style over a decade ago before it was ever a thing.
