>>49583598this is just cherry picking about the bad aspect of the new system, a lot of those tasks are pretty stupid and again, I'll be the first one to complain about the game's shortcomings, but, and AGAIN, you fail to understand what's happening here, the game has provided us new loops, new mechanics, things that are fresh and interesting, things that were never a part of these games before, so not only were you not rewarded by the game in any way shape or form for doing these things in prior games, but on top of that they gave you ways to keep you interested in between doing those by providing new things to do, such as all the new mechanics and changes to the old ones (new combat system, new capture system, running through the overworld to find the mon you want and one vast enough that you can find yourself losing focus by wanting that rare pokemon you never saw was in that area before, or wanting to get an alpha one or a big/small one etc etc)
it's really not rocket science, I don't get why you can't understand this much, have you even tried the game or are you just another /v/irgin shitter that's mad at a few screenshots?
>>49583613you're a dumb ass retard and nobody's saying quantity isn't an objective and quantified measure, you absolute mongoloid slowpoke, stop strawmanning and once again, use your gray matter
25 out of 30 hours of having fun will always beat 40 hours of boredom out of the 50 you take finishing a mainline game, if you don't like how PLA works, that's not my problem, just don't try to come to a board dedicated to these games thinking you can 'convince' other people or your midwit takes on what should be the new definition of 'quality' and how it should be an objective measure that's somehow decided by yours truly, you god damn faggot
