>>48510301>You mean the Gen that changed the experience curve so it was more difficult to overlevel?And the one that made the entire game linear because kids got filtered by the Sunyshore blackout? The one that started giving each Gym 3 Pokémon, and the E4 4 Pokémon? The one that gives you the Lucky Egg as part of the story? The one that introduced Audino grinding? The one that handholds you throughout the entire main campaign without letting you explore on your own accord? You mean that game?
Also, are you saying Gen 6, 7 and 8 are also hard because they carried over the EXP system change?
Seems to me YOU are the one who is failing to see the bigger picture.
>And it still had the most mature story, at least for the main series.Edgy =/= mature.
>True babbification didn't start until Gen 6 because [arbitrary standards].No. Masuda, the director of the Gen 3-6 games, has LITERALLY stated in his own words that Gen 5 was the beginning of the casualisation of the series. And this is clearly evidenced by playing Any Gen 1-4 game, then any Gen 5-8 game back to back. You literally cannot argue against this, because the literal DIRECTOR OF THE GAME confirmed this fact.
