Do I have adhd or are pokemon games actually boring as fuck?

>slow walking around
>slow text
>mash A vs shitmons 99% of the time
>HMs and shitty boring puzzles
>rewatch slow animations 10000000 times
>random encounters are slow, boring and meaningless
>interesting teams are actively discouraged as its faster to spam super effective attacks
>slow surfing
>fucking water routes
>walking around grass waiting for the specific encounter you want
>fucking caves
>boring cutscenes which are unskippable
>using shinies or specific IV combos is impossible without injecting/glitches
>only one game has a higher difficulty mode, and its inaccessible without doing some random bullshit first

Did we ever actually enjoy this shit?

Honestly, I'm starting to think the anime and manga and spinoffa were the best things Pokemon spawned rather than these boring mainline games.
