i meant to post here after i beat the game but waiting a few weeks doesnt really matter i guess.
from a gen 4 baby i would like to say:
-modern exp share with original D/P's level curve lmao how do you fuck up that badly
-360 movement in a tile-based map lmao
--- switching to d-pad when this matters doesnt even lock you to the grid, so you're gonna be offset from wherever ur trying to go regardless which all adds up to the worst feeling pokemon game of all time
-i disagree with mustard i really like the chibi overworld/usual battle style sprites and think its charming and cute in a vacuum. i just think it lacks polish and looks bad as a result
-platinum dex is exclusive to the player in the underground (LITERALLY WHY)
-affection is the dumbest mechanic of all time
+elite four has items and EVs/IVs n stuff thats pretty swag
+jupiter is a baddie
all in all the child inside of me that grew up with gen 4 is very disappointed
