>>52189893emuchad here, I'd say the biggest if not only issue with the core gameplay
is the lack of incentive to dodge trainers, when it used to be such a core part of Pokémon's level design. aside from that?
the level scaling is... okay as long as you have two braincells (Mela's too high level though)
the battles themselves are not insultingly easy
there are... actual routes and dungeons that are not shit?
no Frontier but at this point, you guys liked Gen 5 and 6 so fuck if that matters
