That's probably something a person who has no clue about Pokemon could say. You underestimate how many mechanics older games contain, since like half of them are not obvious for casual players. Although I am not sure about gens newer than IV (Diamond and Pearl is the most recent I've played), since I haven't played them. But most people agree that the best games were around that period (Gen IV, or V), and they only become worse over the years.

You got me. It would probably take more than 5 minutes to do. You saw through my web of lies.

It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.
