>>55826978>>55826985This is still a little dishonest because like
>>55827581 says, the people who dislike PLA tend to just dislike having to catch Pokemon in general. I guess they like random encounters more because they're easier to speed through? And it's not like I can blame a subset of the fans for developing that mindset when the series hasn't actually let you catch even everything in the regional dex in a single game before. Eventually online trading helped you complete the dex, but you didn't "catch" them. That being said, I do wonder why people like that even bother playing the games instead of just staying on Showdown and maybe playing difficulty hacks. Like
>>55827682 points out, it's not like the plots of the mainline games are particularly compelling, and the battles aren't challenging unless you handicap yourself in some significant ways, but again, may as well just play a difficulty hack at that point.
>>55827813It's just a weird franchise where most of the fans are adults but the games are still designed for kids. I don't really get it but it makes billions for them so no reason to fuck that up.
>>55827851What is "content" then? Are battles content? Is collecting content? What exactly are you asking for when you ask for a game with more "content?" And I'm not trying to attack you or anything, I just feel the same way about the word here as I do when I read about "content creators" - what is "content" and what isn't, and how do you come to that conclusion? What are the criteria for something included in a game to be considered "content"?
