It's like how people regard the DS era as the best one in the series' history but then a 3DS game comes along and becomes the culmination of both of these eras as the true end of pokemon as a portable console franchise, with the most possible player freedom yet and people still found a way to complain.
Yes, the story and characters are retarded but it's pokemon, things here have always been tardy, this shouldn't be a main complaint, you deserved the trash you get nowadays just for shitting on B2W2 and USUM, we had it fucking good once upon a time.
