never bothered with it because ruby pissed me off so bad I quit pokemon for twenty years.

I vividly remember defeating the elite four and bouncing off the walls trying to find out how to go back to johto or something, then the rage set in as I realized there wasn't any postgame.

"illusion of a postgame?"

ruby didn't have a postgame at all. none. zero. I will never forget the rage I felt, and I will never forgive. I will always remind the zoomers who pretend to like le epic old game that is the worst installment of the entire franchise.

might be a valid argument if RSE weren't also shorter than any other mainline pokemon game other than RBY which get a pass for being the first games of the franchise.

short, linear, and no postgame. they objectively were shit.

My fondest memory with gen 3 (Sapphire, precisely) was trying to get to Pacifilog out of curiosity.
I found my first shiny ever: a green Tentacool. Nowadays it doesn't feel like finding something great, considering all the water encounters. But back then I felt rewarded for trying to discover that small settlement that nobody bothers to investigate.
It was awesome, especially after I discovered the fast currents area, and the place to fish for Horseas. Plus, the regi puzzle.

Hoenn exists as the de facto gold standard against which other games are measured, but at the same time it goes so much without saying that it generates no substantial discussion either for nor against it. What is there to say, praise, or dispute?

This is in contrast to Johto and Unova where their quality is highly contested. Hoenn's quality is uncontroversial---so much so that nobody cares to really talk about it. What more is there to say, really?

default pokemon experience has a postgame, has a reasonable amount of side dungeons, and is at least 1.5x as long or more.

the reason "johtods" contest it is because they are old enough to have first hand experience of the disappointment.

>>56452237
longplay hours. consistently 7 hours, compared to 11-30 hours for games other than RBY. shouldn't be surprising either if you'd actually played it and not just ORAS which has more content.

if it isn't obvious, your experience with pokemon games is severely lacking, or you have issues with comprehending the passage of time. but it's also easily confirmable with the information I've already provided for you. longplays.

RSE is 7 hours long. RBY is 6. the rest of the franchise is 11+.

meaningless because they don't reflect how normal people actually play the game. most people spend around 30 hours doing the main game which is comparable to most other games in the series. for reference GS are also about 30 hours average, DPP 35-40 hours.

a longplay is a casual speedrun

you think they'll devote time to things like engaging in extra facilities or hunting for specific mons with specific attributes?

there's too many variables at play to really talk about "length" in an objective light

the only actual observable metric here is long plays. these are normal people not trying to speed run the game, and can be compared by generation. you posting an arbitrary screen shot of something written by literally who is meaningless. comparing longplays is objective relative information, and RSE played normally by a normal human is 7 hours, shorter than everything but RBY. cope.

there aren't extra facilities in RSE, that's one of its problems I've already addressed. it has the least amount of side content of any game. it has like, a boat and a few small one room caves. it's really depressing.

and no, a normal pokemon player does not hunt for specific pokemon with specific attributes. that's something adult autists do. you are projecting the way you play onto the entire population, which is apparently 100+ hours on a single file, which is not normal at all.

they should have had watery secret bases too

they also would have benefitted from rescue team's friend areas existing beforehand, to provide a model for better visuals

Ecruteak and Goldenrod are the best parts of Johto, for the very obvious fact that Kyoto and Osaka (and Nara, but Violet city is a bit empty in-game) are among the best parts of Japan, and definitely the most aesthetic cities. Kyushu and Hokkaido completely mog anything within Honshu when it comes to natural beauty, but that's a moot point when the most kino cities will forever be in Kansai.
Johto is hard carried by 1. being based on Kansai, and 2. including Kanto and gen 1 characters post timeskip.
