>>57089108>lore dumpAll the lore they "dump" is a natural progression of what you learn throughout the whole story. Meanwhile, AZ gives you all that retardation and world changing information out of no where that and should have way more implications on the events, but turns out to just be justification for the weapon existing and that's it. On top of that, it cements an unobtainable form we know they planned on including (light of ruin)
>sagesThese, again, were appearing throughout the story and climaxes pretty naturally. You're just complaining a fantasy world has a castle that can rise when we have construction/builder pokemon and region wide propaganda to explain it. Meanwhile Lysandre's motivation make ZERO sense in a vacuum.
>literally the only postgame eventExcept for all the things you ignored, sure. The sages were a continuation of the main game story unlike Emma the Ohmori nothingburger. There's also Alder besides Cynthia, battle facilities, more small side quests than any subsequent gen, and actually good areas to explore for postgame.
