>>49529618Contests are a fun minigame. Having variety is bad now? It's so optional that it's completely irrelevant to the game's design whether you like it or not.
Not being able to delete contacts is fair enough but iirc you couldn't in other games either
Animeshit doesn't matter
Water is based. Makes the adventure actually feel like a proper adventure with good exploration. Pokémon variety is irrelevant since you're likely to have a full team by then
Coomers are irrelevant to the quality of the game
All starters have great designs and are useful in-game. Swampert may be the best but there's also a lot of other water options so choosing Treecko or Torchic out of pure utility is also understandable since there's less variety for their typings.
Not sure why you're complaining about the 8 badge formula when it's been in every game? The E4 is decently challenging especially Drake.
That trope is shit but it was used well in Emerald since you don't need to battle or catch Rayquaza unlike other games. The game makes you explore to find the cover legendary and you have to backtrack to go back and catch it after the story is over whereas in other games they just give you the legendary when it's time and recent games even force you to catch it.
Wally is the challenging rival.
Fair point.
Different engine.
Projecting.
