>>56983425>best story“Dude… what if we… what if we set aside our differences?” after 10 hours of the shitty rivals interrupting you every 5 seconds to whine and say nothing of substance outside of Nimbasa.
>best gameplayLiterally just Gen 4 except all of the trainers are shittier, the mons you get are more minmaxed, and the gym leaders only use 3 shitmons with no coverage.
I’ll give you music and graphics at least. At least they tried to do something with a new cast of mons too, instead of how derivative Gen 4 was in being just Hoenn again but with more KANTOOOOOO.
>>56983450Derivative slop of the Hoenn formula with needlessly melodramatic storylines and npcs that halt you every two seconds to spout inane drivel. Endless focus on Kantomons and Kanto pandering; even down to the protagonists Sugi even admitted were derivative of the FRLG designs. DPPt were the first games to really jerk off the nostalgiafags, but the kiddos in 2007 were probably too young to notice.
