I'm one of those infamous Sinnoh-haters, and to be honest, I just can't put my finger on what irks me about D/P. All I know is that the games bored me out of them. I've never gotten further than beating Volkner in any Sinnoh-based game. >_>
Here's a small list of things that just rub me the wrong way:
- Team Galactic's storyline is hard to take seriously
- The plot's pacing is just...slow...
- I want to stab Barry repeatedly anytime he's on screen.
- With the exception of the main three, the legendaries are boring and not worth hunting.
- Sinnoh is generally very frustrating to navigate, especially Mt. Coronet and the Snowpoint area.
- My choice in fire-type was limited to either a horsie with fairly weak stats or an ape with broken stats but a horribad design. way to undermine how awesome the other two starters are, by the way...
I hear a couple of these were rectified in Platinum, but to be honest, I didn't even notice it was released until shortly before HGSS were announced. >_>
