Plus the fact they don't stay after you finish the dungeon means you have to start all over again with the next one.

Like you said, the whole gender thing is meh too. I liked how they inserted the personality test and how you could override it if you didn't agree with it, but then they dropped the ball on the gender stuff and all the characters talk to you all strangely like that. And yeah, not being able to choose your own missions... lame.

I definitely did finish GTI, and that was good, but once that was done, it was done. The storyline to that was pretty good. Definitely not as good as Darkness/Time/Sky, but it had it's qualities (it had an Emolga as a major supporting character. BIG QUALITY THERE!). But doing the extra stuff like building up Paradise or recruiting every Pokemon and stuff like that was not really all that captivating.
Honestly they made too much of a dependency on the looplets and emeras in the game. Enough to the point you NEED them to make it through the game. Yeah and the fact they disappear between then and the next dungeon makes things incredibly hard.

I think everyone can agree the gender thing needs to be fixed. The character you play is supposed to be YOU! It gives you and the character more of a personality. Without a gender and characters specifying you as YOU. it makes it odd. Yeah the only starter with a real difference is Pikachu (with the heart shaped and flat end tail and all), but other than that it's just text to differentiate "he" or "she." Then moves like attract and all I guess.

Ahaha, I know you'd just LOVE the Emolga in it. Yeah once I built the Meloetta music box I gave up on the game. ONE mission at a time is just....*sigh* I love the PMD series. I really do, but Chunsoft is really been making some bad decisions on the game series recently.
