    Hi-C

    I actually agree with a lot of this take.

    Let’s Go visually and even gameplay wise was pretty enjoyable. The only thing I disliked was being pigeon holed into training by catching cause I just find that mechanic so sleeper.

    Visually though the game looks amazing. Loved the Pikachu costumes as well and the riding Pokémon mechanic as well. Overall the game was a fun experience.

    SWSH just seems so bland and boring in comparison

    Agreed bro! I also don't how the exp system in Lets go, but it's a TON of content in Lets Go that I don't understand wasn't carried over to SWSH. Like being able to access the PC from anywhere was a fire ass feature.

    SWSH just seems super bland. Like of course the games gameplay has been getting more and more bland, but they didn't do anything different. Gigantamaxing and Dynamaxing is a terribly bad and unbalanced. It's probably the worst battle mechanic implemented. I'm glad it won't be in BDSP. It's a lot of things that should have been perfect, but of course they ruined it. They ruined online single 6v6 by making the battle tamer only 20 mins like what?!?!? The raid battles are disgusting solo. The brain dead AI kills every damn thing. It's so much bad in this game. The good could be better.

    I have a ton of faith in ILCA and Masuda. If Masuda wasn't helping make BDSP I wouldn't say this. I have zero, absolutely zero expectations in Legends. This game would have to blow me away in order to get me. This is why I believe Legends could be delayed.

    Nice! Will be really cool to get some real life perspective on the sizes of the Pokémon.

    Apparently it has no online play but I never expected that to begin with. I don't see how online play would function in that kind of old setting.

    in PLA are we going to throw a water Pokemon out over the grass?

    what if we throw out a Charmander during the rain?

    Lol it’s definitely not gonna be that deep. It’s just gonna be the Pokémon version of BOTW. It’s boutta be shallow as f*** dude I already know.

    It sucks too because when the game inevitably flops because they rushed it out the door, they not gonna hold themselves accountable and instead say, “This is why we don’t deviate from the proven formula.”

    It just sucks seeing a game with such amazing characters perpetually be ruined because they would rather chase the money than making something amazing.

    Ite I’m done ranting lol

    This doesn’t bother me tbh. Pokémon online f***ing sucks anyways so I hardly care about a lack of online lol.

    Seems like BDSP gonna be the online game which is fine with me tbh. Hopefully they don’t oversaturate it with a billion legendaries like the other games but they probably will

    Yeah nah that’s my point lol, like I highly doubt they gonna have that level of detail in the game. The reason why BOTW is a step above every open world game is exactly for that reason. Every little thing in that game makes sense and is consist in terms of how the engine and mechanics work.

    When a game makes you literally question “wait… can I do this?” And more often than not you actually can, that is a sign of an amazing game.

    Pokémon on the other hand is literally the opposite. Half the time I literally ask “why the f*** can’t I do this?” when I play Pokémon. Like the game doesn’t give you a reason half the time for why it doesn’t work.

    I just don’t see this game matching that level. I could probably write a 7 page paper on the contrast between Pokémon games and how shallow they are mechanically compared to other games in its genre, not to mention between BOTW or any Zelda game for that matter.

    If the game allows for creative problem solving and consistent mechanics and logical, real life things similar to BOTW, it will be better than 95% of Pokémon games (which is a very low bar). If it can tell a really fun and compelling story on top of that, I think I’d be very satisfied. It may not have be better, but it doesn’t need to be. It just needs to put in the same amount of effort snd it’ll get close.

    Man my issue with Pokemon is how video game fans give it a pass. Like for instance, If Sword and Shield was a PlayStation game, it's no way Sony would have released that game after fans was trashing how the graphics in some areas are N64 level.

  • Jul 14, 2021

    Boosted exp for traded pokemon is so lame man. Gonna start Sword now but I wish I could just use some breeded mons from shield/old games and make a nice lil team

    The sad part is that it's really rather simple to make a great pokemon game. The core formula is so damn good, the competitive scene never dies down, the gameplay is appealing to casual and hardcore

    I think gamefreak deserve an award for the incompetence on display cus you gotta really be actively trying to fumble like this

    It's because they don't really want to make Pokemon anymore, but they suck at making anything not Pokemon and they don't want to lose that bag.

    they could make a ton of new, remake and even sequel games in the BDSP format from here on out

    imagine a Pokemon Red & Blue 2

    a whole new story in the Kanto region with BDSP engine
