>>54779156>Distribution is horseshitFactually incorrect, and also the majority of the pokemon available at any point are basically an all-star cast of great new designs and classics like Nidoran.
>NOTHING but Kanto pokemonBetter than the steaming dogshit of Shitnova where you don't get ANY good pokemon until the postgame.
>Map is awfulThe map is fine, better than the dogshit that is Hoenn.
>The game was still exciting because of the non-linearityThis I will agree has been lost as early as gen 3. Nothing past Gen 2 even comes close and it's why gens 5 and onward are just the worst. Gens 3 and 4 at least have some side areas to explore early on.
>Ice based puzzlePlease kill yourself, that's the worst fucking thing and it's just as dogshit as the one in GSC/HGSS. Puzzles suck ass, hoenn is the worst with this go fuck yourself I'm not learning cripple language just to catch some shitmons.
>Seafoam islandsObnoxious trash with no real reward
>NINE HMSYou only need Cut (once), Strength, Rock Climb, Surf, and Waterfall to beat the game, but yeah HMs have always been steaming dogshit and should never have been a thing, but BDSP fixes this. Cut is also early enough that you can throw it on a shitmon and box the fucker after you beat the galactic hideout.
>DifficultyPokemon is an easy game for babies. It has never and will never be anything close to challenging, and the problems you describe here are ones I can level at every game in the franchise.
>Buttsex fagtierDon't care, garbage for retards. I'd prefer it it wasn't in the game at all, good riddance it didn't come back after HGSS (and it's the only smear on an otherwise perfect pair of games with HGSS)
>Story is horse shitEvery pokemon game ever.
