    Most of the starters for like the last four generations are basically fursonas. It’s tragic. I’ve been a Pokemon fan since the nineties but I’m losing interest.

      What made me lose interest is how dead the games feel. I’m impressed how they made the world more open and somehow made it feel so empty. Towns have barely any personality, and the routes are just designed to wonder around aimlessly in.

      Don’t even get me started on the permanent xp share, constant hand holding, and lack of any real puzzles.

        The older games still hold up at least. I’ve been playing through Emerald again and it’s been a lot of fun.

        There’s also quite a few good ROM hacks out there too.
