>>48556021JRPGs usually justify its stale gameplay with the story/lore. Pokemon story is non-existant or for 5 year olds, but has nothing to envy when it comes to gameplay, besides enjoyable difficulty.
>>48556193Le super-hard difficulty does not make a game good. Specially in a genre where difficulty is almost strictly artificial. The pokemon story mode has shit level design and theres zero challenge, but when it comes to battle system and mechanics, its literally the best in the genre, thats the reason why you will never see another turn-based rpg with a succesful online mode.
