Initially, I was cautiously optimistic about this game but I saw some footage, and dang it...now I'm excited. I shouldn't have looked at it because the wait over the next few days will be painful š
@Snaplocket āI donāt think itās going to be the best pokemon game because other unrelated games are better!ā
Like, I get saying āI donāt think it will be my favorite game.ā, but ābest pokemon gameā means best game in the pokemon series, only taking pokemon itself into account. The logic is just a bit off here.
Edit: by no means, will it be the best jrpg. However, in pokemon standards itāll probably be good.
I don't think this is going to be the best Pokemon game given the context. If it was on the Gamecube then I would agree but RPGs have come a very long way since then and everything I saw leaked just wasn't all that impressive compared to other RPGs I loved this generation.
Man, is this how I come across to everyone else? Is this why I am on so many ignore lists? I feel like I at least try to be balanced, Snap keeps posting in here over and over and just always ***** all over this game that hasn't even released lol. I'm not this bad... am I? I'm so sorry, I will change.
Like you have every right not to be excited about this or think it doesn't look great or whatever, but do you really need to keep posting that over and over and over again?
Eh, I don't care if people consider my opinion or not. I just called that one post out since it's flawed logic. I don't really care if people hate or dislike the game, but it's weird how someone would say "I don't think this'll be the best game in the franchise, because many other RPGs that aren't in this series or related to this series did the same things but better!". I'd get that argument if someone was trying to contest the game being the best JRPG of all time or something, but no one is. We're just talking franchise-level, and about the pokemon franchise itself mainly.

I was only playing around - people ride my ass around this forum for being "too negative" and I just saw Snap doing exactly the thing I am always criticised of, so had to say something. I'd say sorry if I hurt any feelings but I'm really not.
And again - no one should feel they can't be negative or say how they feel in any regard. I think at times this forum can be a little too quick to shutdown an opinion that isn't within the grain of the consensus here. However, it's one thing to say 'Hey, I'm not feeling this because of x reasons' and another to make some kind of negative comment every single time the thread is posted in, often unprompted and not within the context of the wider conversation. Especially for a game that hasn't even come out yet.
I need to fire up Pokemon Brilliant Diamond at least once to feel a little bit better about picking up Arceus on release. I'm excited for the game. They had me invested with the new evolutions and Hisuian forms. The further focus upon open designs that the series began to take with the Wild Area, Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra is going to be fun to get into and explore this coming weekend.

@JaxonH Red and Blue, Silver and Gold, pretty much every generation of main games except iv and vi onwards were always considered some of the best games of their respective years.
Like I said, the game sounds fine but there are plenty of superior RPGs on the Switch. It wouldn't be that remarkable of a game if it wasn't a Pokemon game. In all fairness, you could say the same thing about almost every other main installment since the GBA era.
I think Famitsu has given the much fabled perfect score to BW too.
In any case Pokemon isnāt traditionally GOTY winning material. It would be like COD, Assassins Creed or any other heavily sequelized game being considered GOTY, they are made to appeal to their fan bases rather than pushing AAA games to be the most AAA game ever.
I don't think Pokemon has ever been considered GOTY, except maybe during the Pokemania peak of the late 90s. The series has been predominantly handheld, and handheld games often don't get the same treatment as console games. Plus GOTY candidates aren't necessarily just good games - they're games that push boundaries, which (as much as Pokemon is my favourite game series) just isn't Pokemon's strong point.
@VoidofLight If this game is open world, then so is Mario 64.
20 years ago you could've made the argument that Ocarina of Time was open world, though by today's standards it wouldn't be considered as such anymore.
I don't think anyone calls Monster Hunter open world, do they? I don't know. But BOTW isn't any different from Skyrim in that regard.
I usually call some of those games open world-like. Like, mini-open world or something...
Apparently this game will be open world-like, some of these games are okay to me...it's usually a hit or miss kind of deal. Because Monster Hunter World...yeah I didn't like it much, but Rise I'm okay with....I also liked the original Xenoblade. I guess the Monster Hunter Stories games could count as these types of games as well, er, until you're able to fly anyways. lol

Keep it PG-13-ish.
Does it being a full blown open world game, or more of a hub based World like say Stories 2, really matter though, in the end? My understanding is the main problem with the Wild Areas were around their atrocious technical performance - especially when playing online - more than necessarily their scale. If they have managed to stabilise the game and sort out the insane pop in/draw distance problems, then great. But even if they had, would it being non hub based suddenly make the game better than it's otherwise going to be? (if that is even how it'll work, we don't know yet).
