Upon closer inspection there are 3 different levels of pixelation in that battle screenshot that imo don't mesh too well. The sprites, background and the hud.
In the battle screenshot the monsters look out of place compared to the background for me. I am interested in getting this but it's a hard wait and see for me.
Why do a "review" if your not going to give a final verdict (To clarify it was confusing rather you guys would recommend buying it or not). Also why are you sugar coating all the flaws with they "MIGHT" fix it? If it's a review it should be judged on what you received and not what they "might" do later because they "might" never fix it. It comes across to me as if you guys were paid to do this...
"Recent games have started to become ridiculously complex..." The wonderful thing about pokemon is that it is only as complex as you want it to be. You can play through them the exact same way as you did as a kid in red ignoring abilities and ivs (iv were in red and blue btw). In fact the biggest complaint is that they are too easy now a days. Also in SM the Pokedex contains 302 pokemon with no national dex, so you aren't even incentivized at all to catch them all. (There is no reward or tracker for them) "For me, Pokémon has always been about completing my Pokédex and beating the main story..." Have you played sun and moon? You can do that exact same thing while ingnoring all your complaints with little to no problems! Why do game journalist keep advocating making games easier and more casual? (BTW I would be completely on board with let's go if it wasn't gen 1 again)
@Reignmaker I found the side quests very unrewarding. What you would get for a one part side quest in other games you get after 2-3 part sidequest. A good example of that is one quest in the first town had you go out and fetch some random chance field item and bring it back. You think alright time to collect my reward but NO you have go get someone to fix her stove. You get the guy to fix but No, you have to pay 3,000 gold up front for it or find a random chance item which cost 450 gold per draw. You do that and finally you get paid 500 gold. 500GOLD! If you don't have a Chain of Keys than the most you can make off of this quest is 50gold. The least you can make is -2,500 or less gold I also find that while a lot of monsters can't deal enough damage to kill me yet take 10-15 mins for me to kill if I can kill it (I lost track of the times I almost killed a monster to only be killed by an aggro monster 20+ lvl higher than me)
@abbyhitter oops, I'm going to eat my foot now.... I mean all hail Nintendo!

@JayJ so did there ability to create excellent games. They are a good pair for each other. A mediocre hardware maker and a now mediocre videogame company who only lives today because they use to make great games.
@Heavyarms55 I haven't done the research on it and I was just going on what I could see as the reason for it. But after reading what you pointed out I agree with you
@Heavyarms55 also to reply to your first comment. "...their requirement that you use Pokemon obtained in THAT Pokemon game..." I think the fact that it's harder to hack/glitch in the new games and easier to patch any major ones as they come up. Also it would encourage use of the new pokemon from that gen.
I'm still going to pass. They were too lazy to have separate music for battles, It ends up playing the overworld theme instead. In the end it feels like low quality to me
