Wanted to like it more because of how much I LOVED Emerald as a kid, but found myself easily bored and not wanting to play it most of the time. I think this is probably a mix of this being released around the time I was growing out of my deep childhood obsession with everything Pokemon, and also the fact that I’m really just not a fan of the style of the games post the DS era. Maybe it’s an overstated thing in the community but the 3D models seriously just lack all charm for me personally.
