>>58957854Yes, there were a lot of issues across most games and Legends Arceus is the only game I would say is unequivocally good, unless you aren't a fan of the change in gameplay.
>LGPEWould've been good if the Pokémon encounters were not complete dogshit, with mandatory motion or touch controls, and a terrible implementation of Pokémon Go's capture mechanics; things like the targeting circle continuing to change size after you throw, and Pokémon being free to run at literally any moment after the first Poké Ball throw, including during menus.
>SW/SHThe early low user scores was because of Dexit, but years later it's still just not a good campaign with a poor presentation, weak gimmick, and weak regional Pokédex.
>BD/SPObjectively worse than the DS original in many ways, with no sense for visual design; why the fuck are you zooming into miniatures that are really not designed for that.
>ArceusJust a straight up good game, which you might complain is lacking in the trainer battles department, and might take issue with the strong / agile battle styles, but I feel accomplishes it own things well.
>S/VTakes freedom to its detrimental conclusion, you get free exploration of a circular low-poly map with very little going on, and Pokémon wandering around in pretty unnatural fashion. A directionless collectathon with a suggested order of doing things.
>Z-ALet's forget everything that made Arceus accomplished and go back to hand-holding the player to an extreme, and get rid all of the environmental variety by confining you to a single city, and dumbing down the research mechanics to extremely generic tasks.
