>>54781734Even if it wasn't it'd still be dogshit.
>>54781755>you haven't seen the dialogue changesBecause they're irrelevant, it's still the superior game. Whatever non-problem shit you're gonna whine about is irrelevant in the context of the quality of the games.
>terrible trainer teamsUniversal problem across the entire franchise. None of the games were ever hard, and if you think they were then you're a genuine low-IQ retard who can't win a game of rock-paper-scissors.
>mon selection for teambuildingIt's got a fine selection, better than anything that came before or after other than, of course, HGSS which only added to the already excellently curated dex. Also if you're one of those faggots who thinks the betamons are better, hang yourself for the good of everyone you hipster faggot.
>awful plotUniversal problem with pokemon, and Gen 5's "plot" is way, way worse. Gen 2's actually makes sense because it's a sequel to gen 1 where the remnants of Team Rocket are trying to revive their organization and bring their boss back, which is made even better in HGSS with the Spiky Eared Pichu event.
