It definitely doesn’t deserve all the hate it gets. But the difficulty goes all over the place depending on whether or not the area you’re in has enemies that can cast petrify. Going from being on mental autopilot to suddenly getting a one round game over because the enemies you were fighting all decided to cast stone is one of the many examples of poor polish the game has.

And maybe that’s its biggest downfall: lack of polish.

I will absolutely die on the hill that it has some of the best music on the SNES though.

It’s a kind of beautiful type of pain for sure. My biggest issue are with the people who make nostalgia their entire personality. Remembering back to when there was 150 Pokémon should not be a personality trait.
