Yeah, this is what hurts the most. The dex cuts, the pop-in, and animations are things I'll get over, but the hand holding is really killing my hype for this game. The EXP share, the lack of puzzle or maze-like dungeons, and the box being accessible everywhere, it's just too much. I get that the EXP share and box accessibility are quality of life changes that people who don't have the time to waste on grinding and backtracking are excited for, but it really ruins the feeling of going on an adventure for me. I just really want an option to turn these things off. They don't even have to balance for it because they'd undoubtedly make it easier. These changes, more than anything else, make it clear that Pokemon just isn't something I'll enjoy anymore, which kind of hurts after 20 years of loving the series.
