Not really. The game isn't trying to be a realistic battle simulator. People don't play Pokemon for the battle animations. They play Pokemon for the customization in team building, which longer/better animations actually work against.

I'm not saying the animations shouldn't be better, because they should. I'm just saying that the core audience isn't really focusing on it.

For the non-snarky answer, it just seems hypocritical to me that you'd say they should move forward with the Pokmon following you and cosmetics as a fun presentation thing, but when it comes to the actual important presentation in the action you just say "screw that who cares".

Can't really have it both ways, dude. The latter seems like a way bigger deal than the former, too.


I mean I wasn't even giving my personal opinion, I was just saying why people accept it. Most people complain about the longer move animations in Pokemon games/generally just turn them off because if you're playing competitively at all and are grinding stuff out, it's just padding that makes things take longer. So those people naturally care less about the shorter, simpler animations in these battles, too.

Probably because in Pokemon you battle so much you tend to either ignore the animations or just flat out turn them off if able, anyway, so people got over it pretty quickly.

I just don't understand your point?

Mine is that like 15% max of the money generated from your strategy goes to the dev, when it could be 70-100%. If you like the store then fine but I can only see it as an antagonist of the industry.


I understand that being a concern for smaller studios/indie devs/etc., but that's not really something that should really be a breaking point for buying something like an AAA game.

I do wonder how many extra sales were lost from people who were willing to buy both versions for $80 but not at $120.


I'd say the Pokeball Plus also scared people off from buying both a good bit, since it makes the game $100 if you bought the bundle, and you need it to get Mew, so I'd say a lot of people got it. Thus, to get that + both games, you're looking at $160.

EDIT: Granted, there's also not really a ton of reason to get both since Bank isn't on Switch. Nor is there the usual "cover legendary" difference.

Everything I've heard about these games make them sound surprisingly good compared to what we thoguht they'd be like going in.

Is it still for babbies as far as difficulty goes?


It can be, but there are pretty simple ways to make it more difficult on yourself.

1. The starter is overpowered and has ridiculous moves. But you can box your starter, or atleast avoid those moves.
2. The game encourages catching everything you see, but that's how you get a majority of your EXP. You can cancel that out a bit by not going crazy catching things, though. Example: I really only catch unique Pokemon, so I haven't grinded much at all, and I'm struggling a little bit to get through Rock Tunnel, which is about where the difficulty starts to lift a bit.
3. Candies are a super easy way to raise stats. But you can just... not use them.

It CAN be Babby's First Pokemon, but there are ways to avoid it and make it not any easier than other Pokemon games.

why is it that i've only read good things about this game but also read "i don't know why everyone hates it"


Well, being fair, there are things about it that are negatives and cause people to be very vocal about them.

-It's a very true-to-original Yellow remake, meaning things that came from after Yellow are few and far in between. People that wanted more than that are loud about it.
-The Go style catching is fun, but replaces wild battles. People that don't like that are very loud about it.
-It's easy to make the game a bit too easy (though you can avoid that with effort). People that don't like that are super loud about it.

And then on top of that, people are worried that those things will leak over into the next Pokemon game, so they get even louder.

Oh, which reminds me of another:

-Pokemon are more to scale. You'll be cruising along through Rock Tunnel avoiding said Geodudes and Zubats and suddenly BAM huge ass Onix in your face. And then if you use that Onix to fight Joey's Rattata it makes Joey look like a total dweeb because your gigantic ass rock snake is so much bigger than his dumb rat

-Pokemon on the map. Random encounters suck and this is the future. There's nothing more fun than making your way carefully around Geodude and Zubats and then seeing a Kangaskhan and being like "Oh shit son"
-Pokemon following you. They have little personalities and it's fun and awesome. It's fun seeing little Oddish lag behind me and occasionally "!" and run its little heart out to keep up, then go to seeing Beedrill flying in front of you leading the way like an angry badass, and then go to seeing Graveler just tuck and roll on behind you as if he has given 0 fucks in his life
-Riding Pokemon is actually fun and doesn't just feel like a barely used mechanic
-Portable box. Being able to access your box and switch out Pokemon on the fly is so good and I will fight anybody over this forever
-HMs aren't a thing and stuff like Cut and Flash and crap are things you just... Do, now. I feel like this may already be a thing but I can't remember.

I will add to list as things come up

They also occasionally have those deals like "Trade 3 games in and get an extra $10-20" that only ever exclude like, sports games, so you can sometimes trade in crap or stuff you've never touched in a year and get decent value.

Its common knowledge what dug addicts are all about and its fairly common knowledge what Gamestop is all about (they bare responsibility with who they hire and much of the stuff is corporate practice anyway), so wanting all of them to go away is within reason. But still, my original post about the drug addicts was just a general understanding of someone (like Vlado) who would want to murder them, and was more so if I ever had to live in a situation like I described again, a pretty abusive one, I wasn't going to take it and bad things were going to happen. Drug addicts already got one strike with me, they aren't getting another.

But I know, most of you are probably a bunch of kool 20 somethings where drugs are the koolest and you can't dare speak ill of them. I also bet you would be pissed and not tolerate the same stuff you want me to, and I bet some of the older people in your lives wouldn't tolerate it either.

That said, it includes something that is better than any other Pokemon game and I hope stays forever in that Pokemon appear on the map instead of random encounters and the next Pokemon game could be the greatest game ever made but I'd still be a bit disappointed if it went back to those.

I haven't followed this, but this isnt anything close to the big budget, triple A console Pokemon game that fans have wanted for like 15 years, right?


It's basically an appetizer, or Pokemon Lite, intended to get more people to join the playerbase from Pokemon Go.

It's still a full Pokemon game, it just lacks some of the stuff added after Gen 1, like hold items, abilities, etc. for a more streamlined experience. And the biggest change is it uses Pokemon Go-like catching mechanics instead of battling wild Pokemon, which is fun enough for something like this.

They said a regular core Pokemon game is coming next year.

It's basically a direct remake of Yellow with not much of the stuff that came after Yellow outside of Mega Evolutions and Alolan forms.

I used to strictly buy physical to avoid hdd space issues, and still do on Switch for this, but once Xbox and Playstation just started having you install the full games, anyway, I go digital if there's a good sale.

I do still like the feeling of having something physical and knowing I could sell it if I wanted, but it's not a must have thing with me anymore, just a preference.

It's honestly kinda unknown where they're headed right now. Bryan/Miz seemed like a safe bet, though Bryan being heel seems to complicate that a bit, so I assume it's not that unless Miz gets turned face in the process of the rumored Shane turn.

I gotta admit, the Virtual Boy case did make me feel nostalgic as fuck, because I remember going to the local video store and seeing all the systems to rent in those cases on what looked like a locked clothing rack.

I remember renting a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World, and then later an N64 with Mario Kart 64 and a PS1 with Wipeout and Wrestlemania the Arcade Game

I miss that place. It was called Video Safari and had all these stuffed animals everywhere and always had like, these ambient jungle noises playing. And the checkout was this like, tiki hut.
