X/Y defenders explain yourself

X/Y is actually up there for some of the most soulful pokemon games

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

it has the best online pokemon ever had

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

it was a "you had to be there"

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

stuff like wonder trading, megas were actually hype at the time etc.

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

if you go back now it's not really that great

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:37 PM nintendo

but as a game and something that released when it did, it did a lot

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:38 PM nintendo

I dunno, I'd rather they do something new with a new game. Even if I don't like ORAS, I infinitely prefer ORAS to BD/SP. At least ORAS has a reason to exist.

Okay what about FRLG

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:38 PM nintendo

do you feel the same about FRLG?

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:38 PM nintendo

And you can't use the "it was to bring pokemon to a new era" defense because bdsp argubly does the same thing

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

And yes

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

Let's Go games are mainline

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

gamefreak confirmed it

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

they are a remake of Pokemon yellow

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:40 PM nintendo

its like if they did another gen2 remake and it was a remake of crystal

I would literally never use that argument, I hate it

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:40 PM nintendo

then frlg equally does not need to exist

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:41 PM nintendo

I actually consider that BDSP has more merit in its existence than frlg, just from how much it changes/adds comparatively

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:41 PM nintendo

FRLG technically does add a bit in the sevii islands, but yeah I'd be fine with cutting it tbh. I don't think it adds very much, especially with only a 2 gen difference.

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:41 PM nintendo

sevii islands 😂

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:42 PM nintendo

At least they gave Moltres a real home instead of it being weirdly placed in victory road

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:42 PM nintendo

and the rape quest, that was funny

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

Anyways scarlet and violet are probably the most fun games

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

in the entire serie

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

s

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

but they're not good games

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

its like getting a really juicy hamburger

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:45 PM nintendo

or a piece of pizza that when you touch it you instantly need to wash your hands after you eat

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:45 PM nintendo

because it so greasy

You are smoking crack, but I will grant that it was the best online they did

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

rollar skating, megas, best online, wonder trading, character customization (had the sovl to make sure you always wore a hat like a real pokemon trainer)

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

did you know gen6 had the most available catchable pokemon

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

counter point, I hated playing the game and didn't even finish it until years later so its bad

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

if you wanted to catch them all without transferring

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

to this DAY

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

it has the most possible

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

insane

Raccoons Feb 21, 2026 4:47 PM nintendo

Who even cares about catching all the pokemon?

Raccoons Feb 21, 2026 4:47 PM nintendo

There's so many and the people who do it are insane

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:47 PM nintendo

Me?

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:47 PM nintendo

I have a living dex in home

Its literally the reason why SV is so much fun

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

it has very fun catching

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

I essentially completed ORAS, it is fun to try catching all the pokemon

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

I usually just do it until I am bored and stop, so I never fully finish

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

I've never bothered catching very many pokemon, not my cup of tea

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

I think the original games it's a lot more boring

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

post legends arceud

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:48 PM nintendo

arceus*

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:49 PM nintendo

its like 10x more fun

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:49 PM nintendo

mostly because catching every pokemon requires just walking around and not waiting for random encounters

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:49 PM nintendo

then no loading screens

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:49 PM nintendo

i actually did the Pokedex twice in sv on release

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:50 PM nintendo

once before the game came out when the rom leaked

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:50 PM nintendo

and once after

Agreed

Rusp Feb 21, 2026 4:53 PM nintendo

Scarlet violet is fun because it makes catching pokemon the most enjoyable it's ever been

Rusp Feb 21, 2026 4:53 PM nintendo

And I love collecting

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:53 PM nintendo

i want slightly more mechanics around pokemon spawning like LA

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:53 PM nintendo

with the world size of SV

Rusp Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

Yeah, I think they're edging the optimized fun ratio

Rusp Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

On catching

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

SV should've had the Arceus mechanics of just throwing balls smh

Rusp Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

I don't care the games are objectively not very good

Spooky Phijkchu Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

I never went back to play S/V DLC

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

i like the dlc but

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

S/V DLC gave flying, which was fun

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

I enjoyed flying around the region freely

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:54 PM nintendo

the infinite flight is ok but never needed

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

I just enjoy flying

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

it is cool though

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

the dlc is actually well written

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

for a pokemon game

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

I don't like Blueberry. The areas feel weird.

Spooky Phijkchu Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

you know 100% the next one they'll just have you flying since idk how theyd justify another 2 motorbike pokemon

oh no spooky its already leaked

Rusp Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

I think there's nothing I care about less in a pokemon game than writing

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

you have a magic scooter

Spooky Phijkchu Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

oh right

Spooky Phijkchu Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

I forgot

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

and you're pulled by pokemon

Spooky Phijkchu Feb 21, 2026 4:55 PM nintendo

no, I remember now
