If PLA is the best one yet why does nobody talk about it anymore outside of people pointing this out? I think that probably the game wasn't as good as you claimed but you're too scared to admit it was just the honeymoon phase.
The older games can be replayed many times over the years but who is going to do that for something as bland as Legends? Yeah can't wait to catch 50 bidoof again and then travel to the non-existent towns and gyms. C'mon now. It died the second gen 9 was revealed.
