Well, pomegranate, yeah, but that's true of everything. Superman 64 isn't bad unless you compare it to ...literally anything else. (Hooray, hyperbole)
It's quite possibly the worst RPG I've ever played (albeit I do avoid most of the bad ones by choice. If only I could have avoided sticker star). It also doesn't matter whether they've played the previous games or not, because it's certainly the worst retail RPG on 3DS that I can think of. And not to get too anecdotal here, but I know people who've not played any of hte paper mario games before, and they hated it too (as rpg fans).
The entire battle system is absolute shi't. How no-one called them out during development on the fact that they managed to ruin an almost perfect system they had from Thousand year door is beyond me. Oh right, because miyamoto said so, the same reason they threw out all the funny characters and plot from previous games too.
There are far, far too many good games on 3DS to recommend a mediocre title like paper mario.
