>>52762548I don't think thats exactly what it is, while i joked about the minigames; SV is filled with literal random shit.
A lot of PLA was just system shit, its not that tied to mon count. Stuff like all the movement and such aren't really reliant on quantity.
Even ignoring minigames, there's so much weird nonsense going on. There's lots of odd "small touches" that make it seem like they just forgot to actually polish their fucking game before getting to random side shit.
Oh the pokeballs don't hit the ground? But i want to animate Pikachu swimming, i'm gonna do that instead.
