>>54358867- disgusting gender and breeding mechanics that turn the game into a eugenics simulator and break all suspension of disbelief with things like rocks and plants and sludge reproducing like that, cubone born with dead mother skull when the mom is at the daycare, kangaskhan with baby, completely different species mating, etc...
- fossils at level 5 instead of 25, good look using leveling up those pokemon when you're already at the 7th gym
- ridiculous handholding in the thirsty guard quest
- speaking of handholding, teachy tv lmao
- terrible new types, as if ground and rock aren't already overlapping enough let's add another mineral based type, dark is as ambiguous and ridiculous as fairy, as if gengar ,hypno, etc aren't more evil tricksters than umbreon
- speaking of umbreon way to ruin the eeveelution concept, they were ambiguous beasts with a straight up classical elemental rpg affinity - fire, electric, water... psychic!? and evil!? and they don't even evolve via stone lmao. and espeon is a straight up yokai cat ruining the beastly ambiguity of the line
- but those are hardly the worst crossgen gen 2 evolutions that are now part of the game's universe in the remake
- and so are all the new pokemon with pig disgusting designs
- romhack tier islands completely break the pace of your quest ("b-b-but you can say no!" if the game prompts you to something you're natural reaction is to say yes, it's not the player's job to know that if you do what the game prompts you to do it's gonna fuck shit up, it shouldn't be there period. And regardless of when you chose to visits the fanfiction island, they are still terrible and gathering magic crystals goes against the high tech scifi feel of gen 1
- I wanted to go on but I'm tired of typing and all this will go over your head anyway
>b-b-b-but muh glitches!fixing those does not make up for everything else they eviscerated
