Man literally fuck this game. Such a blatant cash grab it's insane. Makes me mad because gen 4 is my favorite and its remake got absolutely shit on compared to its predacessors. The mandatory affection and exp share make it trivially easy until the crazy difficulty spike that is Cynthia. By the time you get affection maxed out half this game is just mashing A through text boxes so you can one shot the next pokemon without considering type matchups. Never before has completing a series with as fun of a gameplay loop as Pokemon felt like such a chore
