>>56160559NTA, but the person you're replying to is just to say whatever for the sake of argument. Anyone who is being honest and played these games knows exactly what you're talking about.
It did start with Platinum, I think Looker had a role of gently nudging you around back then.
>>56160499The cutscenes are standard for a modern game? They're embarrassingly bad even for low budget games, and this is pokemon.
>>56160140Nope talked all kinds of shit on Gen 5 when it was out, cricizing it for this stuff, but everyone around was too retarded worried about ice cream and no Charizard and "creatively bankrupt" and saying it just looked ugly. So in the ocean of that shit, those criticisms got drowned out.
You know what happened though? GameFreak decided to go extra harder on everything I didn't like about Gen 5 going forward, and not ever having anything like the stuff I did like about it.
>power gems into z-moves>story focused>handholding >people having few mons on their team>extra annoying and too many rivals>no battle frontierBut like, I ask myself. who do I hate more? Cheren and Bianca or Hau and Lillie? Plus in Gen 5 can we stop pretending like the story wasn't easier to skip through? Just mash A, because it's just events being triggered by dialogue finishing except maybe at the very climax of the story, but even RSE had a cutscene in the climax.
In SM, the actual camera moves around, and animations play, you HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE OVER. JUST SIT THRU IT. Not so egregious the first time, but...
