To all the gamers who are saying that they are having a lot of fun with the game:
Good for them, but don't they think they would have way more fun if the game had no glitches, better performance, better graphics and more content akin to other jrpg titles? I don't get the defensive mentality. We are not the bad guys here. I am personally a huge fan and I just want the games to be better. I loved PLA despite its issues, because of the steps it took to push the franchise forward. It's completely dissapointing seeing Scarlet-Violet backtrack on the progress Arceus made. It's unacceptable. I mean the developers fixed the super slow battle system with the walls of text after multiple generations and they made it fast and seamless in Arceus, only to use the old one in Scarlet-Violet. Who does that?

It's a shame that fans keep rewarding Pokemon Company for their complete and utter incompetence, since they are still buying their games. The games have tons of issues. Performance and graphics are just the tip of the iceberg. Game freak didn't even inlcude qol features from arceus. The battle system is super slow, disregarding pla progress in the area. Don't get me started on side quests, side content, post game content, etc. Stuff you can find in literally EVERY jrpg, except pokemon.

Dragon Quest XI s, breath of the wild, xenoblade 3 run greatly on Switch. Even Shin Megami Tensei V runs better, which was clearly too ambitious for the hardware.

Game freak being Game freak. I really hope they fix the technical issues with patches because I really loved Arceus and I like the direction the mainline series is taking. No buy for me, unless the they fix some of the techincal ussues.

I didn't like Three houses at all. The monastery gimmick killed the game for me. The pacing of the game was completely off. I am really looking forward for Engage, since the last fire emblem game I really enjoyed was Echoes for 3ds.

@RubyCarbuncle I completely disagree. Tips + training drills explain the battle mechanics perfectly. Youtubers basically teach you how to exploit the game, which is fine, but completely unnecessary for the main story.
The two previous games were really bad in explaining stuff. Xenoblade 3 is so much better in that department.

I have spoken against Game Freak for years. About how they are making the same game again and again and again. I am more than thrilled to see the direction they decided to go with Legends. At last, a next gen Pokemon game. I just preordered it and I can't wait to play it.

@JohnnyC I am not expecting them to pull off something like botw. GameFreak is not talented enough as a studio. What I seriously don't get is why they decided to cut platinum content. Why they decided not to add post game content. ORAS did it years ago. To this day, platinum is the ultimate version.

Looks like we are not getting better pokemon games anytime soon. Fans seem to have settled for mediocrity.

Game freak is giving us a remake of a game that is actually worse than the original. 6/10 sounds about right.

The glaring issue with the remake beyond the atrocious and inconsistent art style is the fact that it lacks platinum features. There is just no excuse for that.

@Nintendoh do you want some pie charts while I am at it?

They've been through a lot, but still they refuse to fix their games. They have been making the same game practically for decades. No ambition, minimum effort.

Please just stop making excuses for everything Pokemon company tries to pull. Gamers are the reason the franchise is in such a sorry state (myself included, since I have bought most of their games). Stop giving them your money and accepting subpar games. Make them be better. These remakes show that Pokemon company has listened to none of the sword/shield criticism. Their games lately are completely stale, unambitious and low effort.

This is a new low, even for Pokemon company. I mean they could at least pretend that they are selling two different products, instead of locking content from buyers.

@thiz how is this a wild card? SMT 3, 4 and 4a were all amazing games.

The game is mediocre at best. At least they did a good job with the switch port.

That's a pretty bad list. Too many great games left out:
Radiant Historia
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
SMT Devil Survivor 1 & 2
Dragon Quest V (One of the best in the series)

They are not even trying anymore

It's a huge improvement. The graphics were fine back in the day, but even then the character faces looked super weird.

Nintendo has to step up their online platform. It's not even funny anymore. They are going out of their way to reinvent the wheel, when they can just see what the competition is doing.

And they chose friends codes, a solution that is definitely less "simple" and less "comfortable"

The award list is completely laughable. In what universe is Pokemon SwSH goty? I have issues with almost every category of the awards.

I just got a fish wand from it. Pretty great prize, considering I don't have a regular star wand yet.

It's a good game I guess, but I did'nt love it. Shadows of Valentia on the other hand.. Definitely my favorite 3ds fire emblem game.

And we wonder why we are still playing the same pokemon game. Game Freak has no talent.

To all those people commenting that they don't care about any of this and they are still excited.
Seriously:
1. What are you actually excited about S&S???
2. What would actually bother you? I am buying every pokemon game since blue-red. I am personally tired of playing the same game again and again. The fans deserve better.

So their reasoning for cutting pokemon is to provide high quality animations and graphics and they are actually using 3ds animations. And there are people who are still defending them!!!

I had so much fun with this. I hope we see a simlilar discount in the european store. I want to buy some more dlc.

Pokemon fans are the only reason we are playing the same game for years and Game Freak is putting in minimal effort. They are just buying/defending anything.

Persona Q2. It's an amazing game and the perfect send off for the 3ds.

Aren't they tired of making the same game again and again? Game Freak is super lazy. Dynamax is gimmick af.

Let's celebrate by brigning Persona 5 Royal to the Switch!

This is why we can't have nice things. We are complaining all the time about the third party support of nintendo consoles and when they actually show some support, we just don't buy their games. Brilliant.

@Dang69 60fps on Xbox One X. Not the regular one.

@carlos82 I don't disagree with you. I am just saying that you can't expect it to run better than it does, when they couldn't hit 60 fps on the ps4. I have the game and I think that it looks and more importantly runs great.

@Dang69 it's an hd remake. It runs 1080p at 30fps on ps4. A resolution drop is to be expected.

FF12 is now much better than it used to be when it originally released. Most FF fans hated it just because it was different. They expected a turn based battle system and FF12 was radically different. The game was brilliant, but it got so much hate just because it wasn't a traditional FF. For me it's a true jrpg gem and the inspiration for the mechanics we found years later in Xenoblade Chronicles.

Are you deducting a point for every non-first party game?

I am actually playing Persona 5 on my PS3. After they announced Persona 5 Scramble, I pretty much lost all hope for a Switch port, so I decided to cave in and buy it for PS3.

This is actually great, considering the fact that the 3ds was a lot cheaper than the Switch.

A true jrpg gem.

@Patron most 3ds titles cost 40 euros. Even ancient 3ds titles.

The problem with the 3ds right now is that it's not cheap enough. Hardware and software is expensive.

It's a shame but nintendo isn't really trying. 3DS is still overpriced, there is no marketing or ads for 3ds titles and even the software is expensive. I play a lot of yokai watch 3 lately and it's my favorite game in the entire 3ds library. I coudn't find it anywhere, so I bought it digital. I feel bad that only a few gamers will play it.

This list is wrong on so many levels...

I think that the real problem is that pokemon fans defend the product so much, they actually affect the game negatively. Aren't you people tired of playing the same game over and over again? I have owned every game since the first generation. The formula has become stale. I hope "Let's go" flops. It's the only way to make the developer serious

Still not liking it

Playing the dlc right now. Xenoblade 2 is such a great game

Pokemon Sun/Moon was the lowpoint of the series for me. The game was pretty bland and there was no sense of exploration. Pokemon Gold/Silver definitely are the best games in my opinion because they perfected the formula. The games that followed just built on that.
