SM, in their design, are what you get when you take every bad aspect of JRPGs and shove them into a Pokemon game. The characters never leave you alone, the player is constantly wanked for completing the simplest tasks, the amount of railroading and handholding is enough to make Final Fantasy 13 blush, exploration and dungeons are nonexistent. The plot boils down to babysitting some cunt who won't even raise a single Pokemon and solve her family issues.
All I wanted in Pokemon was a solo mon-catching/battling adventure with new regions to explore like the earlier games, and SM were the complete antithesis of those and cemented Pokemon never having a solid single player campaign ever again.
