>>49048988USUM added more extra areas like Seaside Cave and Kala'e Bay, added minigames like Ultra Warp Ride and Mantine Surfing, added new mons and forms, and added more postgame content with Episode RR and more sidequests, added the Battle Agency, and obviously changed up the story line.
How is this not on par with games Platinum and Emerald? I bring up Crystal because THAT'S hat the bare minimum looks like.
I'm not even a Johtohater btw. It's a way better Gen than 7.
>>49049033>Battle tower was an entirely new concept at the timefair enough
>Unique moving sprites which was also entirely new at the timeWe're talking gameplay, not visuals. The moving sprites were nice but the game would be just the same without them.
>Moveset updatesUSUM does this too, I just didn't mention it because I don't count it at meaningful content
>Added a female MC which was also entirely new at the timesee first point. I'm not saying a Female MC is UNIMPORTANT, but acting like it's a significant boon to the game when talking pure gameplay terms is disingenuous.
