>>55911357Because muh frontier. Nevermind the fact nobody actually liked or played the frontier because competitive pokemon is a joke, the computer cheats and it's horribly grindy to get actual good rewards from battle facilities.
Non-retarded criticisms include:
>The cave by the 2nd gym has its second floor blocked off until you get a bike, so no Aron until you reach Mauville.>No gym leader rematches.>The redesigns for May and Brendan are worse and there's not even minimal trainer customization to switch to their older designs.Other stupid fucking criticisms only a child could come up with:
>They give you lati@s for free!yeah because putting it to sleep at low HP and hucking 20-40 balls at it is so much better than an expanded story piece. Also giving it to you for free lets you soar, which is an objectively more fun Fly and like traditional JRPGs getting an airship.
Overall, they're great pokemon games. Between dexnav, expanded mirage islands, delta episode, added lati@s story piece and improved Mauville, there's been significantly more improvements to OR/AS than there are defects.
