>almost every town or location has a cutscene due to the N plot getting more focus than previous teams>doctors in almost every location, ensuring that you will always be able to heal up rather than wisely using resources>NPCs continually giving you shit like Max Revives every other town>man of the new Pokémon have shitty stats>even when old Pokémon aren't in the game, there's still KANTOOOOOOO pandering with Pikachu billboards and a bridge named after Charizard for literally no reasonEven so, Unova had a lot of fun side content like the PWT, Join Avenue, and Pokestar that I liked a lot, not to mention things like N's weather teams. Granted, that was B2W2. The original BW didn't have much interesting after the credits rolled.
