lmao

N64, Saturn, and PS1 textures. Comparing it to the PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, and Gamecube generation is an insult.

It'll make for a fun video

Cant wait the shortbus fans to defend it to death

Gen 10 will be responsible for a video game crash like E.T. was

@@ironoat We can only hope...

I can’t wait until adult children scream “I WANT MY RHEEEEPHUN NAO!!!”

Literally saw a shiny hoppip foating by in the wind (cause Lore Haha 😒) as i was battling a Igglybuff, I'm colorblind so didnt at first notice the color difference and cause I was in a battle animation by the time I double checked, it despawned 🐸

Numerous patch fixes and they couldn’t even add one of the coolest things from legends arceus

You're my new favorite masochist

Legends Arceus absolutely deserves another chance. Like, give us a dlc that explains some unfinished lore and/or gives us Hisuian Meganium.

Dude saame i completed the dex cause it was the only thing i can do w/o the tower

@@CoralReaper707this probably won’t never happen, because LPA was no more than a tech-demo for the main line series

LA was so good it was on the list of being the best RPG of the year award for 2022.

For comparison, let's take a look at what a good pokémon game looks like, in BIack. I've been taking notes the last month of my experience with those games. 1°: The music changes in tone depending in a lot of factors, like mucisians, seasons or movement; There's even voice acting in Bridge village. This gives the games a very enveloping atmosphere. 2°: It's visually consistent, where living beings are in 2D and the envoriment is 3D. It's a bit choppy at times but it compensates with amazing landscapes and camera work to showcase their places. 3°: The plot was consistent and well thought. Most actions felt cohesive, the villains for the only time in pokémon felt like they were using actual psychology for them behaving like a cult, and it clearly understood how climaxes should be done with N and Ghechis being the final bosses instead of just the champion. The characters were incredibly likable as well and the non-generic NPCs felt like real people. 4°: The level curve was fine for the most part. A bit too easy between the 6th and 8th gym though before spiking in the league into a moderate difficulty, where the final boss is appropiately the hardest battle. The gyms were tough when not taking their weaknesses and even then it would get complicated at times as shown by Elesa's Emolgas or Lenora's Watchog, and the free lucky egg does not have a huge impact unless you're using a small team. 5°: The design of mons in Unova is a mix bag. I still think Emboar, Watchog, the monkeys, Conkeldurr, Garbodor, Gothita, Vanillite, Klink, Stunfisk and Seismitoad are ugly. That being said, I've also noticed that for each one of them there's something amazing like Serperior, Excadrill, Krookodile, Reuniclus, Haxorus, Volcarona, Galvantula, Eelektross, Chandelure, Golurk, America or Hydreigon. A truly mixed bag. 6°: The game, while linear, had enough motives to go outside the intended route, like a Fossil, a TM, a valuable item or an overpowered cute green dragon. 7°: The cutscenes felt oddly short. Everything was kinda going at the point and definitely helped that N talks very fast. It only got long if you tried to read them which is good but also meant it demanded attention to not lose key moments. 8°: Places seem quite gimmicky... which is great because it gives variety to your gameplay. route 4 has dark sand, relic castle has quicksand, route 7 demands you to move precisely on a small path, you can rotate NPCs in the celestial tower, bikers and ciclists move faster when you run, route 17 has strong tides, you have to slide down the hill in victory road and some places change drastically depending on the season. It doesn't feel like they're using the full potential of them though. 9°: The game is short. It took me 21 hours to beat and that's with a lot of unorganized backtracking, beating every single trainer available and collecting almost everything. If i had to guess why it's because routes are relatively short. 10°: The post game is odd, in a good way. It feels like there's not a lot of things to do and at the same time there's a lot of content, and the very beginning demand a lot of knowledge to surpass but slowly the opponents improve as much as you do, as well as weird challenges like that rich family. Not very well balanced though but it's to be expected and I rather have complications at the beginning than a cakewalk after the middle point. 11°: Lots of staple TMs were realocated into the post game, which had the weird effect in the viability of certain creatures. Most notably, it made Ice types (aka Vannilite) good in the adventure, volt switch users amazing, setup sweepers due to moxie, work up or swords/dragon dance by level great, fast supports quite bad and Water not as amazing as they usually are because of being walled by grass and dragon. 12°: There's a serious issue of a lack of item availability, most notably berries because they though it was a good idea to remove berry trees. While Rangers and sidequests give you the most basic ones of healing health and statuses, there's a serious lack of EV reducing berries or resistance ones. Gems, while available, their obtention is the definition of grind. 13°: The QoL are very appreciated, most notably not having to worry about using TM or having pokémon centers be an all-in-one building which reduced a significant downtime. The economy left a bit to be desired though considering I have nothing to use the 2 million pokedollars i got from postgame through treasures. 14°: Late evolutions are very obnoxious. I can live with some of them like Crustle, Archeops, Jellicent or even Amoonguss, and they're even justifiable on Fraxure, Lampent, Ferrothorn and Darmanitan due to how OP they're in their final form, but some are just ridiculous like Mienshao, Hydreigon, Bisharp, Volcarona, America or Mandibuzz, specially hydreigon who doesn't even evolve to Zweilous up to level 50. Also, there's no Zorua/Zoroark available to you which is a bummer. All in all, a solid game with easily improvable mistakes and concepts, which is what they did in the sequel, and I unsurprisingly consider those sequels the best pokémon game up until now because of that.

1. How is the story half-baked, it's the best in the franchise and one of the few good ones at that 2. In this case, those things I don't notice don't affect me anyway so it doesn't matter 3. The open world is passable, and still improves the experience by being a passable open world

@@N12015I ain’t taking Seismitoad slander.

​@@aubueruser7228I feel like seismotoad shouldve been given a mustache for some extra personality like Whiscash

Whats crazy is games like dragonquest have similiar mechanics, and yet their open worlds are fantastic. GF clearly needs new blood and / or lots of outside help

Funniest comment yet lol

i didn't like botw or totk i don't really like open world games unless they are like gta where you can do actually anything you want including driving a car inside the bowling alley and punching people.

You're literally telling information that not alot of us know about because a majority dropped the game 2 or 3 badges in tbh. You can argue till your blue in the face and I'll still assume you're just stupid for playing this game fully. Almost a year in and I refuse to play these games until they fix the performance and level scale the gyms which they can still do through a patch update. But since that won't happen I stopped playing these horrible games. Worst generation of Pokémon in all my 32 years of being around. And the worst year of Pokémon games ever. Hell I'd rather play let's go eevee than this hot garbage generation. Nothing about these games are fun it's a dumbed down remedial version of PLA PLA is still more fun I even restarted too feel the joy of Pokémon again.

@@brycetheobald5512 I only bothered to beat the Titans (the only new content in the game), and dropped the game immediately after because nothing else was fun. I also think the game sucks and PLA is better in every way. I only know the facts because I did two minutes of googling. I called the story 'meh' and two songs 'above average'. Somehow you think I love the game because I didn't call every single aspect a crime against humanity.

Well put.

Just goes to show you where their true priorities lie...

​@@1992holycrapI mean, when they started shiny locking in Gen 5 I think thats when it started going downhill...

@@suspiciousfigure3096 GameFreak are legitimately stupid for not only doing "shiny locking" in the first place, but prioritizing it over making actually finished & polished games.

@@1992holycrap yep, that and overlooking Pokemon Home. What I don't get is why they made Pokemon bank if you could transfer from Pokemon gen 4 to 5 with a mini game, and now suddenly you have to pay for a bank on the same platform with different graphics? I feel Pokemon bank was a prototype to how the Pokemon model was going to go about sapping the quality of games and holding your Pokemon hostage. It's a bummer. I specifically bought Pokemon bank to transfer from ds to 3ds FOR FREE and now they're shutting it by April. I don't think I'll ever get another game unless it's of actual high quality in both story and game design, or is a remake of bw and pmd sky. That's it.

That game will be hype af when it comes out

Reasonable take. I just don't like mudding bans. Granted, given how VGC did it, I wouldn't be too opposed to trying it in singles.

@@Aidenkun64 And if it's still broken then you can justify banning it. It's all about knowing what is truly broken, if it's the lack of knowledge, the mechanic or gen 9 being just incredibly overpowered to the point Garchomp isn't even that good.

And side quests too

I dunno, I once nearly missed out on a shiny vigoroth if I hadnt realized how odd the "lighting" on it was compared to the others. Theres a lot of pokemon with similar coloring to the original and for some who want a full shiby dex, it can be very taxing to keep a keen eye

So how did you get here?

@@notscorchingsands9718 I watch Aides’ videos on competitive and thought that a video from him about one of the actual games would be interesting.

People were saying that back in gens 5 and 3.

@@boslyporshy6553 so far it’s still true

Let's be honest we probobly would still by another rushed out main line game if it came out before 2024 simply because it's pokemon.

Minus story and characters if you payed any attention this is probably the worst in the series, i mean it.

both games developed at the same time no way they could keep what wasn't even done yet

Mm, Pneumonia. My favorite Pokémon Antagonist.

@@aubueruser7228 FFS autocorrect

Isn't that what most dlc is?

@@notscorchingsands9718 probably. Lol. But most DLCs (at least from what I've seen) have way more to offer than what the latest pokemon games usually give us

@@GroundBack Mario never die kart 8 deluxe probably will get another of old tracks. Also emerald and platinum are dlc pretty much but everyone is fine with them.

Ngl some of the stuff from SwSh dlc should’ve been in the game from the start, such as the ability patch and ev resetter

That's all the rivals to me lol

Which is funny because people praise her as being the greatest rival of all time despite the fact she's really not that much different than the rest of the previous rivals like Hop or Hau. People are just simpin and don't want to admit it lol

@@Forged4War206 Sorry Nemona. You'll never be as hot as Katy.

Lost My Pieces Toradora! OST

I only made it to 2 or 3 badges months ago, and stopped playing it the Pokémon designs are dogwater, the characters lack different reactions mainly reuse the same interactive styles. The only good thing is the scales, fur etc added to the Pokémon. Pokémon is dead sadly thats the harsh reality that people need to wake up too.

i read somewhere that monolith even offered to help with SV and GF denied it because they didn't want to split profits or something along those lines

just play the unova games, they're already the best games in the series. game freak is never going to make games of those quality again unless there are massive shifts in the company's structure, or they suddenly decide to downgrade the hardware they're working with.

Is probably the last thing they should do. BW fans are already salty about the unfair treatment the game received back than, considered the worst one while it was in fact among the best ones. So a crappy remake would make such a powerful shitstorm to completely destroy game'' freak' s credibility

Town, Flow of Time, People Clannad OST

@@Aidenkun64 Thanks, keep up the good work.

Yeah same I only played it for the Pokémon I never gived

I never actually had lag and maybe its because I just bought a switch and the game at the same time, hm.

Same. Pokepark 2 is a masterpiece

​@BryceTheobald-vm1rjfacts

Almost as if other people have different opinions from you, crazy thought.

legends arceus

I like them a lot too. I just can't replay them lol

That game looks gorgeous

The only VN I've played is Clannad which I got on Switch. I want to play more like Steins;Gate, but I also want to finish Clannad first

What are those other visual novels/anime?
