What are the worst mainline games and why?

>Gen war
You can probably call it that. Pic related in my pick. I'm talking original DP, not Platinum or their remakes.

>This game is slow: battles, movement speed, surfing is walking speed, etc. You know it's a bad start when I don't want to do battles because they're so slow.

>HM overdose. Somehow made a worse version of Flash with Defog; Flash 2, but it means most your moves will miss, wasting more time in an already slow battle system.

>Story and pacing is awful, the game also throws shit like slow down mud and slow down snow to bog the experience down further.

>Type variety (or lack there of). We all know about 2 fire types, but try 3 electric types and 2 ice types IN A REGION PARTLY COVERED IN SNOW. That is on par with the tropical Hoenn region and one of said 2 ice types comes with hail, benefiting...1 other Pokemon.

>You can tell this is a problem based on the teams of gym leaders and elite four member Flint. Their teams suffer from the lack of variety (said variety is superior in the previous 3 games).

>Shit presentation. Whether it be making "Lost tower" a well lit area with grass on every floor or the fucking shitty gyms with "gems" such as: maths problems with fucking slow lifts in-between.

>Cynthia is considered "harder" than most because her levels spike.

>Even if you tolerate the down sides, other games just do this better.

There's no reason to ever go back to these games, ever. But i'm curious if others can justify other games being worse?
