>>52280090>LikedBest music in the series
Appealing color palettes for environmental design (the grass, for example, is a much nicer shade of green than the Sinnoh games)
Dynamic music (instruments getting added when you walked or when you got near musicians)
Pokemon designs
Gym Leader/E4 designs (character designs as a whole)
Gym Leaders actually having plot relevance instead of just sitting in the Gym
Story
>DislikedThe region is a circle. There's enough exploration but it isn't as interesting of a layout as previous regions
Everything evolves late as fuck, I don't care what it was balanced around, it's obnoxious
I like that they experimented more with camera angles, but it lead to overworld sprites getting distorted as fuck easily (bothers me less on the DS itself and it never bothered me much in general but I can see why people would have legitimate grievances)
You can't really skip ahead to new areas. I doubt anyone really ever did Wake before Maylene in DP (which is why they changed it in Platinum) but I kind of miss knowing that I could if I wanted to
Lackluster distribution especially before the 1st gym
