>>50274747 and also the heavy focus on story while gameplay takes a backseat, over-casualisation reached its peak with Gen 5 (started with Platinum), removal of loads of features from HGSS (Pokéathlon, BF, following Pokémon), theme park region just felt very soulless and lacking in identity, very little postgame especially compared to HGSS, the shitty ugly dex you are forced to use.
>inb4 discord!!Just my personal opinions, not trying to pass them off as fact. Also, don't bother greentexting each point and trying to refute them individually, because I won't respond. I don't care about winning any arguments. Like I said, it's just how I felt about these games at the time.
