>what jrpgs have better stories than pokemon?
unironically all of them except say Kingdom Hearts, if that counts

Hyperdimension neptunia

>After BW, yes
BW is the only Pokemon story that isn't garbage. SM/USUM too, but it's too intrusive.

RBY is subtle but also very generic RPG with generic mafia-based villians.
GSC is "we want Giovanni to recognize us"
RSE is the start of Legendary-based plots with villain's theme modeled after legendaries.
DPPt is Gen 3 story 2.0 + Spear Pillar/Distortion World
BW2 is Gen 3 story 3.0 + Plasma Frigate
XY is Gen 3 story 4.0 + Ultimate Weapon
SwSh story is complete garbage as we all know.

you didn't prove RBY's story was garbage here, I mean it isn't

Unironically gen 1 has the best story. You're just a kid training monsters to fight in sporting events and along the way you get into some trouble with the mob. The big world ending plots have always been lame and felt really out of place in Pokemon games.

This is the only correct opinion
Its quicker to list how many JRPGs have a worse story than Pokemon games
Golden Sun, nu-Final Fantasy games, Kingdom Hearts if you can call those JRPGs

I think it's funny RBY has one of the best stories by virtue of barely having a story. Really says a lot about Pokemon.

this is why it sold worse than BDSP, the main part of the game is boring.

Literally zero interesting characters, villains have vague motives, villains have no presence, protagonist is an uninteresting blank slate, the singular character to have an arc over the entire game (Blue) doesn't actually resolve it and it's done in a nonsense way that doesn't adhere to the narrative, the writing and dialogue sucks cock or is just flat out fucking retarded with a bazillion plot holes and unanswered questions (not in a "dude fill in the blanks way" like with mewtwo that is actually a decent example of good writing, stuff like why is Sabrina trapped in her gym by a lone rocket grunt, why is the guy who stole a dig tm literally just hanging out right by the house with a policeman right there, etc)
Just because RB doesn't actively commit sins does not absolve it of being bland and shitty, and the very structure of the game itself is very heavily based around human characters despite ostensibly doing very little with them in-game

I mean it's a legitimate complaint if the ROM hack is constantly shoving story and characters in your face like SM did. Can't really ignore the story then as it's forced on the player.

It's funny then how romhacks are literally developing ways for you to skip the story entirely and yet people still cry and complain

Yea, it's pretty fucking bad.

Pokemon games have such ridiculously bad and/or barebones stories that I'm actually fully convinced that they gimp their own writing so as to not alienate children who might be intimidated by the overcomplicated plot and also to cut corners for development time.

>SuMo proved they can do more and just seem to choose not to
>BW was good for its time but probably hasn't aged too well, B2W2 was slightly worse in some regards but not awful
>ORAS fixed RSE's story but that isn't saying much when it was already pretty bad
>SwSh was rushed to hell and back and the storytelling suffered severely for it
>RBY, GSC, and DPPt are just basic and lack complexity but aren't terrible

I honestly think PLA is the most coherent story we've had in a long time. Getting banished was pretty interesting even if the reasoning Kamado had was actually retarded, even for a decision made in panic and fear. Having that kind of drama adds some engagement but it should have gone somewhere instead of just kinda getting lampshaded when Mespirit asks you how you felt only to completely not even respond to what you said and let you pass the trial regardless of answers. Felt like they wanted to do something but couldn't. And with all that being said they still leave some shit unanswered or outright undecided/vague like where the fuck Volo went, how long Ingo has been in Hisui and if he and the player will find closure, and what will happen to Cogita now that she's served her purpose. I hate how often they just leave these loose ends open and never does GF go back to fix them or anything.
