Worst DLC in the franchise history
I don't want sandwiches. I don't want donuts. I don't want time gated rushed trials of the same 3 reskinned zones endlessly. I don't want to farm berries to make XYZ food item that completely relies on RNG for a chance to provide a useful effect.
I don't want to hard reset 25 times reloading my backup save file every time I get an awful RNG roll donut or else I am not being efficient by losing more berries than I gain for a portal clear. Gamefreak thinks autosaving on donut creation was a big brain move but we all just end up reloading a backup save anyway so did this really accomplish what they meant to? All it did was make getting a decent donut more tedious with an already tedious system. Everything about this DLC is miserable other than arguably hunting for shinies but the gameplay loop is just terrible.
I play pokemon to have epic battles, not to be a freaking anime chef or suffer through the RNG slogfest of trying to get decent berries. This DLC is the most disappointing content I have spent 30$. I sincerely hope Winds and Waves doesn't follow this increasingly subpar food system. Also, stop mass copying and pasting 2D assets. I'm looking at you Luminose city walls and windows.
Edit: Thank you for the support everyone. I didn't expect this to resonate with so many people lol. I sincerely hope Nintendo sees this feedback and uses it to do better. We as a community deserve better.
