>>54386345>hate them because?The graphics are incredibly ugly, being inconsistently scaled, poorly animated reused sprites poorly mixed with low poly 3D.
The difficulty is non-existent, with the gym leaders only using 3 Pokemon at most with zero EVs and mediocre movesets, along with the difficulty modes not only being nigh impossible to use without hacking, but actually make the game easier because Game Freak can't program to save their lives.
Because there's constant railroading and tutorials, leading to the gameplay mostly consisting of lazily mashing A through dialogue and walking through the only path the game lets you through.
The significant amount of reused content, despite the game marketing itself as a sequel. Nearly all the maps are reused and a ton of the dialogue and NPCs are reused, killing any immersion of the game being a sequel if you actually remember the first game.
The post-game consists of walking through said reused maps and sweeping through the non-existent difficulty trainers, offering zero reason to ever revisit the routes once you go through them once. The post-game facilities are just a worse version of the Battle Dome and the Battle Pyramid traded for nonsensical shallow nostalgia pandering where every previous character is conveniently copy pasted to this facility that was just invented in-universe.
The story isn't engaging, with Team Plasma being even less interesting than before and Kyurem doing nothing the entire game except being used as a glorified battery. No further explanation is given about its origins or the original dragon, leaving a massive amount of disappointment and wasted potential.
OP, can you give me a single reason I should think these are the best games in the franchise, outside of "Reddit said so"?
