>>57051136>>57051103I beat Diamond over 16 years ago (the 10th Hall of Fame entry is the oldest one I can access, since DP only stores the last 30 entries).
How was I "filtered" by the fog and snow?
I simply don't like wasting time for no reason at all. It's not enjoyable and I don't really find it immersive (assuming that the purpose of snow and fog was immersion).
The only time I was filtered was the Ice Cave in Crystal, but that's understandable since I was only six years old at the time.
When I complain about the lack of variety in Hoenn water routes, I never see people claim I was "filtered" by the water routes.
When I complain that there are too many Kanto knockoffs in Unova, no one claims that I'm a genwunner.
It's only Gen 4 fans who claim that saving a lot of data, HM spam, fog, etc. improve the game and "filters" people who don't like Sinnoh.
Platinum does a lot to fix DP and I'm not denying that fact. In fact it arguable does the most to improve the base games out of any "third version." Yet the game on which it's based is so tedious and such a slog that despite the improvements, it's not enough to raise it to the level of BW2 or even HGSS or Emerald, IMO.
