Current Events > Pokemon RPGs would be so much better if the games were just modernized.

(+) Yeah! (+)

For instance, doing ANYTHING online is a complete chore, and if you're somone who likes to trade/battle a lot, much of your time is spend at that stupid connection screen. MY 3DS IS BLINKING THAT WIFI IS ON, WHY CANT POKEMON SUN JUST STAY ONLINE?


I mean, the system in Pokemon Sun is a step down for the PSS which did allow you to stay "online" (but you still had to wait for you to connect with someone or do anything)



Other little things like no friend list, no easy way to find battles because matchmaking is hidden behind different software (PGL).


Why cant the GTS be better? Why are impossible pokemon allowed to be put up for trade?

Pokemon is one of Nintendos most lucrative IPs (though not wholly theirs), why isn't there more content catred towards the older fans? Hard modes etc?


How come when you trade with a random person, you can't request a pokemon or show a few your are looking for?

How come you can't auto-sort your Pokemon boxes?

etc etc


I hope since Switch is catching a more hardcore gaming audience, Pokemon skips like 3 jumps compared to previous evolutions of the series. If it's just a nicer looking 3DS version, I think reviews for it will be harsh. It needs to be BotW level of quality and it will literally ensure the Switches success.

The Switch will eventually fall to $200 with a pack in, and if Pokemon's around during that time the Switch, I imagine, can replicate the success of the DS.

More little things I can't stand:


Why the hell do we have to watch at 2 minute "animation" just for freaking trading? A five sec one is all you need.


Why the hell can't we skip egg hatching cutscenes? Evolution cutscenes?


When grinding low level Pokemon, Why can't it just say "x evolved x number of times!" And then have it learn all the moves along the way?

I honestly don't know why i love these games.

Proof?

gamefreak is the most outdated developer out there. unless they license pokemon to another developer, pokemon will never catch up

They don't care because every pokemon game is guaranteed to sell tens of millions of copies regardless of how good it is.

They need to get rid of IVs for one, then make reasonable areas to grind for elite 4 and online.
In addition to online improvements like you listed, they need to do something similar to Smash's Glory Destination only, where they either allow or ban Legendaries and Megas.
