I always play this game with a randomizer, I literally can't play this game unless I do. Sure that's a bad thing but nothing is wrong with a challenge run.
Rayquaza is dope but aside from that Hoenn is really boring. I just never really like the areas and story beats but its fun when you turn your brain off.
It's not bad but after replaying it a bunch I did feel like it was missing something, not sure what exactly. The story is really solid and the ost is just awesome. But the platforming always felt like an afterthought weird enough.
It had amazing animations and fun combat initiatives. Just wish it wasn't as long as it was and didn't have awful dialogue (at certain points) and fanservice.
I really liked the game's dungeons, it was fun to figure out 80% of them. The ending caught me off guard because I didn't know the sequel was connected to this game
I really don't know how to feel about this game. The dialogue is so bad, the villains suck so much, the battle system is so lame, and the enemies on the map are a pain. The ost is great though but everything else is not.
