Did Not Buy. I'm speaking with my wallet. I refuse to keep buying half-finished games, especially at full price. Ludicrous, mental. To hell with that. I want better Pokemon games in the future, so I'm not buying these games now.

I can get on board with that, but can you tell us what other games you're boycotting? There's legitimately an issue with half-finished games coming out, especially with companies monetizing them with microtransactions instead of fixing the problems, or even intentionally building flaws into the games so they can sell items to alleviate the tedium. Fallout 76 is especially bad for this.

But I'd like to know more about what's on your DNBA checklist in the near future, see what this whole thing's about.

Ugh... I'm on a work trip for three days and it was my wife's turn to play.

I'm really enjoying it though-- love the region, and some of the areas / towns are so cozy. There are some legit shortcomings, although I see a bunch of exaggerated criticism too that I think is just piling on, imho. I can kinda see some spots where this game had a troubled development but I also think it takes a bunch of steps in the right direction and if Game Freak can build on this then the next entry could be something really special.

i read a lot of the pre release criticism and it had me skeptical but the game is really great tbh. many elements are greatly improved and modernized. my only real gripe is unskippable animations in raid battles which is annoying but just a minor inconvenience

I had it preordered at the game store I worked at.
Due to some conflicts with other employees (see: bullshit) I was let go.

Now all of my orders are in limbo as they move them to another store.

TBH it's for the best. If I went in there and saw the bastard I'd probably punch him in his smug throat.

For now, it's just Pokemon Sword and Shield. I want to keep this focused at first to see if it gains traction. Fallout 76 would have been an excellent candidate, though. Mortal Kombat 11 at launch would have been a good pick as well, however, they've cleaned their game up quite a bit through patches so it would have probably been struck from the list after some time. The DNBA would fully encourage developers taking action to mend their titles and quell grievances from the players.

If it's just for Pokemon, then lmao. It's a bit undercooked in places, sure, but it's still a much more cohesive product than just about any AAA shit show like Fallout 76.

I've come to expect subpar products from Bethesda. It just isn't as revolting as Pokemon to me. However, they're definitely a prime target in the future. I'll gladly boycott the next Elder Scrolls when it's revealed to be a buggy, broken piece of hot wet garbage with subpar content at launch. I'm as sure of that as I am the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

No I think Gen 5 looks like it was drawn by an 18 year old delusional artist

1. I dont have a Nintendo Switch
2. Im buying a better game than another pokemon game
3. new pokemon game causes problems such as glitches with other save files for videogames etc.

-No megas
-No Altaria
-Bad graphics
-Bug ridden mess
-Too short
-Looks like a $30 game being sold for $60
-Gamefreak attacked fans

I'll stick with the anime, even with that odd artstyle for the human characters and Ash still present, there is at least goodwill and care for fans left in it.

I am. it's great.

If it had more substantial post game I'd say it's the best pokemon game even with the pokemon cuts


yeah, i am kinda disappointed that the postgame is apparently lacking and the lack of an elite 4 is frustrating. it definitely isnt perfect but i had low expectations considering all the controversy and have been very pleased thus far (have 5 badges)
