Hard mode: No super forms or Z Moves.

Litteraly minigames plucked from the worst most mindless DS shovelware but with a Pokemon coat of paint

checks out.

All the cooking related stuff like curry and sandwiches. Not playing pokemon to cook food. I liked berry planting though, idk it was just comfy.

Musicals
>>57900853
All the worst opinions on this board are from those people.

OP has never touched the Pokeathlon and it shows
>>57900871
>Musicals
Yeah, this is the one. Wish it was more like contests (which are actually fun btw) and you could even win ribbons which Unova sorely needs, but it’s just nothing

>>57900871
musicals aren't overrated

>>57900871
even borts think musicals are lame
second part of this is true though

>>57900796 (OP)
following pokemon

>>57900796 (OP)
3D models

>>57900796 (OP)
I'd say the Pokéathlon is actually pretty underrated. Hardly anyone talks about it. Outside of of the occasional "Sunkern busted lmao"

Let's be fucking real: Battle Frontier. AKA time to start a new game.

>>57900796 (OP)
Following Pokemon

possibly the worst take here

>>57900796 (OP)
If you interacted with Pokefags in 2010 you'd think following Pokemon was the second coming of Christ

>>57901529
>He didn't like following pokemon in 2010
Fascinating. I'd love to hear more.

>>57902119
I didn't care for it and continued playing Platinum

>>57900796 (OP)
Raid Battles, both Max and Tera.

>>57902119
I thought it was neat, but nothing mindblowing. The Pokéwalker however was where it's at.

Was this overrated? I never saw anyone own one

>>57900796 (OP)
PWT

complete trash “battle facility” that retards cock suck simply because it has nostalgia pandering

>>57900796 (OP)
most of the shit gen 5 added

musicals, pokestar studios, join avenue, dream world, all poorly executed filler crap that only really gets praised simply because they exist in gen 5 and zoomers need to maintain the narrative that gen 5 is the best

keep it contained in 1 post yawnie

>>57903825
He’s not wrong tho

>i want to add new pokemon to my team but i don't want to put any effort in training it
aka missing the point of Pokemon entirely, you can complete the entire game without having pulled one of your guys out of the pokeball even once
training low level shits (or a full team in general) can be tedious but it's what gives a special connection between you and your team members and separates them from just wild pokemon
Like, shit like training a weak ass Ralts and watching it slowly becoming a powerful Gardevoir was so satisfying but now you can just put it in the back and forget about it
That's why even if I find some of the designs still good i just don't care about the game anymore

>>57900796 (OP)
>Z Moves
>overrated
Retard

>>57900796 (OP)
Not even trolling I loved Pokeathlon, i had so much fun with it

I would play an entire game that revolved around raising Pokeathlon mons and rising through the ranks to win medals.

>>57903777
>>57903810
I think it's more underrated or appropriately rated. DLC and patches that fix bugs in collectible cards was neat, but the process to get them in the game was expensive or too much for the average gamer at the time.

>>57900859
>curry and sandwiches
>overrated
that would imply there were people who actually liked those features in the first place

>>57900808
>>57903867
Why is it suddenly a sin when Pokémon actually adds it a basic QoL feature other RPGs have been doing for years before it?

>>57904906
It's in context with the rest of the game around it and the thematic point of the game. It's not a problem if it's optional or postgame only.

>>57903822
How about this one?

>>57903822
for me it's berry farming

>>57906078
This only existed to cope with dream world going down. Nobody really talked about it, so it can't be *that* overrated.

>>57903822
This, but practically everything they added to HGSS.
>convoluted and poorly designed safari zone slapped onto the ass end of the game to get encounters they were too retarded to add elsewhere
>shit stylus minigames you can grind for weekly evolution items they were too retarded to add elsewhere, and that's if they're not post-natdex
>voltorb flip to waste even more time getting TMs because they were retarded and removed the ability to buy coins outright
it's like they were more focused on adding time-wasting gimmick shit to GSC which were already shit games instead of making them actually fun

>>57904906
Because it sucks dick with the rest of the mechanics, Xenoblade X DE has the same type of problem
>Members not in your party gain EXP
>Level cap is now 99 instead of 60
>But you still gain class EXP based on how high the enemy's level is compared to yours and there's not enough good enemies in the 90's
I'll give EXP All in Gen 1 and 6/7 the compliment that you can turn them off when you don't want the complications but turn them on when you do want the effects. That's real QoL.
