Sorry to say folks but everything after Gen 1 is total trash.
>1000+ Pokemon
Why do you need this many? Especially considering 500 of them are just either conceptual or literal rethreads of the original 151 Pokemon.
>day/night cycle
Why would I want to play a game where I run around at night? I'm supposed to be a kid on an adventure not some weirdo insomniac
>real world clock activities
Why the fuck would I need to play the game on a specific date or wait a specific amount of hours just to catch a single Pokemon? Fuck off.
Let me play and do what I want, when I want.
>held items
You literally just take the item that boosts damage of your Pokemon's type and give it to them.
Wow this really adds a lot of depth to the game and isn't just unnecessary bloat.
>breeding
Yeah man I love walking back and forth for hours just to get a level 1 shitmon.
>EVs
Why would I want even more grinding before I can actually start grinding?
>natures
Great so now some Pokemon are literally born retarded and I need to grind even more if I want to get one that's worth using
>contests
It's like Pokemon battling but for faggots
>physical special split
WHY the fuck would you do this? Is it literally just because some people were too retarded to figure out why a THUNDER punch is a special attack?
Thanks for taking all the coverage away from Gengar and Alakazam, Cuck Freak.
>underground exploration
I'll be honest to this day I still have no idea what the fuck this even had to do with Pokemon at all.
>seasons
So it wasn't enough that I needed to wait for specific days of the week to get certain Pokemon and items, now I literally need to wait MONTHS.
Am I supposed to play nothing but this piece of shit game for my entire life?
>hidden abilities
I'll be real I've played all these games I still don't really know what these even are.
>dream world
Turn off your console to play shitty flash games for babies on your computer, great.
