>>54373910>The Team Galactic plot was so disappointing after the once-novel apocalyptic Aqua/Magma schemeIm sorry but "moar water/moar land" was dumb and the way it is resolved in all 3 games is anticlimactic as fuck. you get told to go to Sootopolis, walking into a cave, catch the legend, THE END, back to the Water Gym with 0 closer or fanfare. ORAS definitely fixed this immensely.
Gen 4 does a way better job of making the plot feel like it has stakes and consequences as well as build up rather than just kinda being something that happens and is quickly resolved.
Team Aqua and Magma do nothing to build towards their lan until the 9th hour.
We follow Team Galactic's plans to build the red chain from the beginning and it's far more coherent as well as the way they are stopped.
Emerald is a bit better with Rayquaza needing to be fetched to stop the fighting but its not much better.
I agree every game doing it is a forced meme but I don't agree Sinnoh caused a burn out when it was only the second game to do it and simply did it better.
>Sinnoh just coasted on these innovations and didn't really do anything new or interesting apart from the debatable physical/special split which was already discussed.Sinnoh vastly expanded the movepools of Pokemon in accordance to the physical special split and gave much needed additions to the evo list of old mons so they weren't left in the dust. it also introduced the Poketch which was the best gadget in the series and mogged the PokeNav. It gave us the Poke Radar
Gen 4 also gave us fucking Wifi. Its why we have a meaningful online (scene in the first place, along with shit like replays.
Running out of characters)
