Topic	I've genuinely never seen this much bad PR for a game before (Pokemon)

How did you miss all the hype surrounding this image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkv7E6DcDJ8&feature=youtu.be&t=121 Maybe you just weren't in the same parts of the internet I was in, but I saw tons of people getting hyped at the idea of a big Pokemon overhaul akin to BotW. And I was one of them. Gamefreak should have either done what was necessary to keep every pokemon, or they should have started fresh with a massive overhaul that brought Pokemon up to date with other major Nintendo IPs. As it stands, Pokemon is way behind Nintendo's other IPs (and Nintendo itself is already graphically behind the games coming out on Xbox and Playstation) with no legitimate excuse. Having to port over every pokemon would be a legitimate enough excuse. But they couldn't even be bothered to do that. And the reason is because they don't have to, not because they can't. If Pokemon games stopped selling as much, Gamefreak would be forced to match the quality of other Nintendo IPs, but the games sell well no matter what, so they are complacent. Like you said, we were probably just on different parts of the internet. All I heard was the same thing that is said every time a new pokemon game is announced. I heard no excitment about a complete overhaul of anything. And tbh, I would be surprise to hear that. People never seem to like when things change, apparently. I hear groaning and complaining about games changing constantly rather than anyone praising a game for the changes... As for what Gamefreak should have done, that's your opinion. They did what they did. And maybe they have their reasons. And since they only own 1/3 of pokemon, that can only do so much to "bring it up to standards with other major Nintendo IPs. As for graphics, they don't really matter to many people. It's just how it looks. I'd rather Pokemon look cartoon-y. I mean, have you seen those horrific pictures of what Pokemon would look like in real life? And if the game will always sell well, then obviously, it's not that much of a problem... BanjoBoomer posted... I just don't see it. Looking on the BotW board, I don't see nearly as much negative discussion as the Sw/Sh board, especially if I go back to when BotW was first released. Sw/Sh should be in its honeymoon period right now, when people are least critical of a game. And, I mean, just compare these: https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/pokemon-sword/user-reviews https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/user-reviews Yes. Let's compare a game that just came out that people are mad about to a game that's been out for a while that people are fine with now. You can't compare them right now. The game literally just came out. Most of those reviews are probably from people just reviewing it to give it a bad score because the game wasn't made to their specifications because their favorite pokemon isn't in the game. Depending on how they get the reviews, a good amount of them might not even play the game. And that only shows reviews. I'm talking about the way social media (gamers, but not just people) were criticizing BotW because of how different it was. And not the normal criticizing that Zelda get for like every game that comes out, but it seemed to be more... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
