I still think about this.
>>59381389>oras dumbed down everything and made it for kids>just ignore the previous gen that removed the battle frontier
>>59381389People like to point the finger at BW or XY, but ORAS was unironically when things started going to shit
>>59381433>PWT>Battle Subway>Battle InstituteYou lost
>>59381447>not battle frontier>not battle frontier>not battle frontierOr>battle maisonTake your pick to seethe at
>>59381452All of those are an equal replacement to the BF and better than the Maison.Go cry on discord
>>59381433B2W2 had a functional equivalent, and even USUM had bad Battle Factory. ORAS didn't have anything aside from not fixing the already easy to cheese Maison.
>>59381468>soifacing at npcs is peakOkay
>>59381492Concession accepted.
>>59381492Building different teams around a single type is good in PWT. Resource management and navigation is good in Black Tower/White Treehollow even if it doesn't scale your level like a traditional battle facility. Solving puzzles for the cult endings in Pokestar Studios is arguably better than what Battle Sims were doing in Gale of Darkness. Gen 6 takes the gameplay from the Battle Institute and makes it easier for the restaurants, while also having the Battle Institute not only in the same game, but the same towns. It also wastes Inverse Battles but at least ORAS fixes that with the excellent Secret Bases.
>>59381389You shouldn't, it was just a cover up excuse for the game having short development time
I see the troon is in this thread crying about gen 5 like he has for the last decade.
>>59381389Every passing year Masuda's words ring ever more true. He was ahead of the curve.
>>59381389It's just business speak. It's bad optics to say "we rushed out these games in under a year of development" so instead you make it sound intentional. Like when AAA devs say their games are under 30fps for the "cinematic experience".
