The wind waker of pokemon
I hate Wind Waker as much as the next guy but that was Gen III. This is the Skyward Sword of Pokemon where there was no excuse for the games to be as bad as they are
but wind waker (HD) is an okay game, SWSH is objectively bad
>>58261131>comparing SwirlShit to a good gamekekaroo
>>58261169SS was fine. SwSh is absolutely not.
>>58261232SS needed the HD port to fix a lot of its issues, but the main reason people hated it was because it was a significant downgrade to the prior games which had been an issue with mainline Zelda for years continuously falling under more linear direction and offering underwhelming results after so many conflicting and contradictory direction changes. Skyward Sword is functionally solid but the most underwhelming game to date compared to what came directly before it. By technicality that's SwSh's issue, but SwSh takes it to an upmost extreme of being the most mediocre experience imaginable when they had absolutely no excuses for the game to be as bad or controversial as it was. There are similarities between these two, but one is more drastic
>>58261131More like the CD-i of pokemon
>>58261169>still pretending that as was bad when it saved the franchise
A more appropriate comparison
>>58261298The games didn't matter until 2006. Pokemon was being carried by the anime, not Masuda's slop
>>58261278that’s bw >>58261298and that’s xy
>>58261277I didn't like TP either.For many that was their first Zelda, I get it. Everything outside the dungeons was tedious and awful. The problem was that SS didn't fix all of that, the tedium was still there, but made more engaging. LttP formula had definitely overstayed its welcome.
the hoshi wo miru hito of pokemon
>>58261278dude at least you can make YTPs of the cdi games swsh just gives you fucking nothing
>>58261311>sucks ass compared to everything before it, even if the previous entry was divisive on its own>popular enough for people to buy it anyways>as a result it becomes the blueprint for franchise entries moving forwardpretty much actually, yeah
>>58261298Does that mean RS is actually the Twilight Princess of Pokemon?
