Everything wrong with the series is summed up here nicely.

Pokemon sucks now.

Hahah.

Pokemon has been entirely stagnant for, like, 10 years.

I presume my time here in my darkblack dragondark steel-obliterating solitude has come to its end as well.

idk why he used that title card when the the theme of the video is more "Pokemon hasn't changed at all in 20 years"

The one point he raised that really got me as how the Pokemon themselves have such little prevalence in a Pokmon game.

There are hardly any scenes or gameplay moments that feature Pokmon in unique or interesting ways. Theyre sitting there for you randomly to catch but like he said with the Anime or movies theres no moments that give the creatures some intrigue or personality.

You just sit there having excruciating boring conversations with people and then go into a battle where 2 static 3D models with very little animation exchange blows until one of them faints.

Is that what we thought Pokemon would be in 2019? A prettier version of red and blue?

Does SwSh not have overworld Pokemon helping out with daily tasks? Like the Machop line doing construction work?

Doesnt look like it.

Momente like they should be absolutely littered through the game. Every town should have unique interactions between human and mon. Even out in the wild all the different Pokmon should have different behaviours

Their goal should have switched a long time ago from how many of these duckers can we churn out in a year to how interesting can we make them

Spend less time making ice cream Pokmon and more time making all them feel alive in some way.

Dunno what's funnier though, gamefreak abusing the fact that people will eat their bullshit any day, or people that should've realize this series has been shit since forever still either bitching about it and buying the games anyways, or people that haven't bought recent games but still find the need to bitch about it frequently online.

nothing is going to change because Pokemon as a franchise is way to big to be worried about internet critics

We could sit here pointing out all the flaws of the series all day long (and believe me I could) but that wont stop the fact that there are MILLIONS of casual players who could give a fuck, and they literally cant wait to run out and buy the next thing with Pokmon on the box.

What kills me is that Pokmon has a lot of interesting lore, but its all confined to the Pokdex.

The games need more quests like Ghost Marowak, or even that Hypno sidequest from Firered and Leafgreen. Stuff that fleshes out the world beyond generic platitudes about friendship.

yeah that stuff is so weird. I mean ignoring the physics aspects of the ones that are so out to lunch they couldnt possibly be real. But like youre saying there is a lot of interesting lore the games are so afraid to tell. They might as we not even waste their time writing these Pokdex entries because theres such a huge disconnect between them and the actual game

this is a shit defense for shitty world building and you know it

Harry Potter had better world building in the first chapter of its first book than Pokmon has had in 25 years.

whenever you confront people with pokemons staleness they will tell you absolutely insane thing like how it doesnt matter that the structure, story and every other key major building block of the game has been the same since like Ruby/Sapphire because they added a NEW TYPE!!!! or THEY CHANGED THE DAMAGE PROPERTY OF MOVES!!! or some other nonsense shit that nobody in the world except someone hopelessly plugged into the series could care about

I love skill up and layman gaming. Good guys and fun brothers to watch talk gaming. But old bros are putting too much into a kids game. It's stale but kids are still buyin it, just like his bro said. Lol

There are so many properties that are targeted towards children and still have the care and dedication put into them that make them appealing to ages.

its honestly the worst defence of a half assed game
