Re: Game Freak Prefers To "Implement New Things Fairly Gradually" In Pokémon

twomewtwos

whats the point in adding new things if those new things are bland and underwhelming ideas that force them to take out key core parts of the games?

if they mean the open world is a new thing... it might be to pokemon but not to like 80% of games out there rn; its considered normal for big companies to have open worlds, not groundbreaking. so are they just saying "we're going to gradually develop these ideas (dynamax, open world) bc we know they arent very good now" and they still want ppl to pay 60 dollars for a game that has features that so many other games out there have and are doing 10xs better that are still in development? so we can pay another 60 bucks for the next game that will have more polished versions of these features? we know that wont happen for dynamax tho, maybe the open world but, dynamax will be a sword/shield/gun thing only bc nobody finds them insanely interesting, just like z moves.

nobody is asking for "too much all at once" like, we just want the pokemon back at this point and for the game to look better given that its the first home console game. if gamefreak, the developers behind making the main games for one of the biggest franchises on earth, considers core parts of the franchise (the actual, yknow, pokemon?), and decent graphics to be "too much all at once" for them well idk what to say. even yokai watch is doing the "try new things" thing better than gamefreak are rn, yokai watch 4 doesnt look much worse than sword and shield, and the combat system looks more open and fun to me. it has a big map and they're implementing more yokai and more features in free patches. and they already have 1000+ yokai. i cannot believe pokemon, one of the biggest franchises out there, has less happy fans than a franchise that has a yokai w a literal ass for a face. i just wish instead of "these features are being gradually added so they look bad rn" they could just take a year or two to delay and fully polish them so the game can be the best it can be, so they cant just shove it into a 3rd game or a new gen as a selling point.

i just feel like these games could be so much more than they are; and they will at least look better, in like a year or two when gun comes out. these games will sell no matter what and they know it, ppl will defend a company they love no matter what bc hearing people complain is tiring when you just want to play a game, just like this article was basically prime bait for ppl to leave angry comments thus giving it more attention, and i am a hungry docile fish in shallow water lol

edit: i am embarrassed at how much i just typed lmao
