>>52097888>Is fineSeeing Graveler and Machoke and Golbat everywhere isn't fine. The distribution is fucking abysmal and makes the game fucking annoying and boring to play.
>To me it makes up for it by having better grinding options than EmeraldGrind for what exactly? The BF is still tedious as fuck due to the lack of breeding QoL and the horrible engine.
>You say all the time that this applies to every gameDoesn't apply to Gen 7
>and difficulty doesn't even make sense because Platinum has multiple battle facilities.Everything outside of the Battle Factory is easy as fuck.
>Games with 3 Water HMs, like Emerald, are a lot more annoying to playNo, because those water HMs actually lead to unique terrain with different exploration options and new Pokemon. Almost all of Platinum's HMs are "click A in front of thing to get past this single tile big roadblock"
>>52097898>Route design was at its peakZero puzzles and repetitive Pokemon distribution is "route design at its peak"? What the fuck are you on?
>The Pokedex was large enoughNo it isn't. Why do you think so many people use the same fucking Pokemon when playing these games?
Literally everything in your post is more accurate of XY than it is of Platinum.
