>>56032303Sure is a lot of things I never do when playing the game, guess you need that if you're bad at video games, and don't know how to switch Pokemon.
> it's enough to give you actually a reason to care about random encounters and replaying routes instead of just using repels 99% of the time.No, most of them are filler. You think anyone is using the elemental monkeys?
>What the fuck are you talking about? Platinum doesn't even have online matchmaking. XY does.Then get online on XY right now, retard
> they're some of the best on the 3DS and it's unprecedent for any game ever to have the sheer number of characters and detailed animations that XY hasOkay but I don't like them and prefer the ones from the console titles, even if they're literally low poly shit from the N64. Hell, I'd probably like the 3DS models more if they were lower polycount, that shit is my jam. I'd also accept more Xenogears, but that's mostly just me I feel like.
>You don't have any objective metric for the overworld art style being bad.I assumed when we were talking design and what we consider valuable in a game we were being subjective. That's why this is my top games, not yours.
>shitty hallway walking simulators with trainers standing on the sides.Ah, who can forget great non-hallway maps like Route 1, Route 2, Route 3, Route 4, Route 7, Route 8, Route 10, Route 11, or great mechanics like being slowed down to DP speeds on Route 9, being unable to control your character properly on Route 13, or the return of the iconic Sinnoh swamp tiles in Route 14. That's half the numbered routes in the game, and the dungeon or town design barely gets better. This isn't even getting into Lumiose which is the worst of early 3D games all in one area.
>XY is pretty much blatantly better.You know what, when Pretendo fixes the online, I'll bump XY back up over Platinum. That used to be the deciding factor for me.
