Well, the story was also completely ruined in Let's Go.

Let's Go, while having different catching mechanics, still follows the exact same formula of a mainline Pokemon game. The Legends games have entirely different formulas, combat mechanics, and catching mechanics.

whoa, major Rance spoiler there Phijkchu_Pikachu Click to see attachment 🖼️

I would consider it mainline personally

Technically not entirely, I did edit in "John Nintendo" in Paint.

hey. I didn't say what game this was

Huh, so he did. Phijkchu_Pikachu John Nintendo said that

first I've heard of it

they are?

I'm taking it as the first

what is this

I'll get around to playing Arceus some day

It's especially a weird criticism coming from me, who enjoys visual novels haha

I really think they just increased the amount of dialogue in literally every game in a significant amount

In gen 6, Tierno/Trevor/Shauna interrupt you a lot in random routes. It's not as bad as gen 7, but it still gets on my nerves.

and this is not only an issue in the first island like many people say

you are unable to walk more than one route in S/M without running into someone who talks to you for an extended period of time

And I think S/V for that reason is a step in the right direction. You are completely free to run around and do things, and even when you do a story area, the dialogue doesn't waste your time.

Well, my criticism would moreso be that you can't do much before being constantly interrupted. I just want to explore the world, catch pokemon, defeat gyms, etc, but when you're constantly interrupted by your friends going, "HAVE YOU SEEN NEBBY, LET'S GO TO THIS MEADOW" it just gets annoying. If it happened every once

All pokemon needs is a skip dialogue button 😔

That's fair. I like it on my first playthrough, but it makes replaying the games difficult.

actually, I should include 5 in that too. 5 has way too much dialogue too.

I'd rather they go back to linear games with little-to-no story personally. Their overuse of dialogue is what killed gens 6-8 for me.

I haven't played ZA. I thought it was generally disliked more than Arceus.

the towns have literally nothing in them

gyms 6/8 are a mess

It's kinda just big and empty

I have a lot of issues with S/V. I did enjoy it, and I like that they at least tried something new with being open world, but I don't think they did it very well.

oh is that Australian slang to use it in that way?

Wait that's a paradox. I say I don't understand your definition of nodding off, which means I'm nodding off, but then that implies I DO know what it means

I guess I'm nodding off now

I understand, definitely. (doesn't understand at all) Pyrrhic When I use words it means what I mean it. And when I say "nod off" I mean this meme.

what? Pyrrhic It means "Ah I understand. Doesn't understand at all".

For all my defense of gen 5 spinoffs, it also had Gates in Infinity.......

nowadays they can only make bad gachas

I just love Pokepark 2 specifically.

nod off? that means fall asleep Pyrrhic *Nod off

I just personally draw the line after gen 5 is my issue. I think they still had something in gen 5. Gen 5 they were still releasing tons of good spinoffs. They wanted to make something good.

always was Pyrrhic Pawniard is power-rangers themed now?

Again, won't disagree there. Especially gen 6 when Santalune Forest is LITERALLY just Viridian Forest 1-to-1 Dalkor The difference between that and other gens is that they started to stop caring because they knew people would still buy it just for the nostalgia bait

Sorry, I'm going back to this. WHAT were they thinking. The pokemon had NOTHING to do with chess. It's not chess themed at all. I get that they don't think the West will know Sentai, but CHESS?! TinyBomby actually, if you want to argue bad names, you should REALLY be using Pawniard. I still think trubbish is a perfecl

It's always trubbish and vannilite

Leavanny is extremely waifu bait. I don't see many people arguing against leavanny's design.

I stand by that there's far worse designs than trubbish in gen 5 if you're dead set on arguing against gen 5 specifically though, which is why I call your points unoriginal.

You won't see many arguments against gen 5 nowadays when the newer games are SIGNIFICANTLY worse

I mean, people were complaining about trubbish and vanillish day 1 of gen 5's release, far before 2020 Dalkor This is the first Pokemon conversation I’ve tuned in to since like 2020, 6 years

This is only an issue if you are British Pyrrhic Speaking of pawns. The worst name for a pawn shop I've been to is Cex with a soft c. Imagine telling someone you're going to Cex. Clarifying that it is a pawn shop. And having to clarify again that you meant PAWN not PORN.

I think arguing against specifically trubbish and vannilite is the most unoriginal thing honestly. People can't be bothered to form their own opinions or attack designs/names that ARE bad. They just repeat what other people say constantly.

I understand your trauma now

I'm sorry you had to be kicked in the balls to play Pokemon 😔 Dalkor “Wow they gave me some good content after kicking me in the balls and putting a dunce cap on me, let me thank them instead of getting upset that I was abused”
