>>50533927>3 mons for all gym leaders>4 mons for elite fourWhy are these bad things when the fights are actually tough? Each one has a powerful ace that you have to work around. In earlier games the extra mons were usually one shotted time wasters. Is Koga REALLY harder because he has 4 Pokemon when one of them is literally THE SAME Koffing copy and pasted?
>rival appearing everywhereLiterally not a problem in either BW1 or BW2. Only game the rival stopped being a problem was Hoenn and that's because they're so pathetic they give up after Mossdeep. In fact the only time it was ever an issue was for Sun/Moon because of the long cutscenes and being forced to watch each animation end before the text boxes would continue.
>low effort feature (pokestar)Pokestar is not low effort and its bait to say so. BW2 also had Funfest, Dream World (b-but it doesn't exist anymore!!11 doesn't count), and XTransceiver minigames.
>nonsense roadblocksGive me ONE (1) Pokemon game that doesn't have this.
>100% linear regionThis has ALWAYS been bait, Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions in the franchise to even be remotely "non-linear" but you're still forced to go Route -> Town -> Route -> Town for every gym. Unova has just as many side areas and optional locations off the beaten path, they just don't connect to other routes as much.
