why is hunting for pokemon in these games so....bland? It feels kind of surface level and they removed all the depth. There are so many new Pokemon yet they're almost all just generic random encounters.

Nope, not a one. But people overlook DPPt lacking any because HGSS happened.

Most of these are just the same RNG schlock as a grass encounter behind a meaningless conditional. Phenomenon encounters are basically the same thing as most of the ones listed here. This isn't an issue at all.

Also worth noting that phenomena encounters stripped even more soul from the franchise by allowing roneryfags to get even more trade-only mons, when originally it was ONLY Steelix who had that dishonor, and Gengar if you used the GBA slot to make it appear in Old Chateau's encounter table.

No one liked this, though. It's fun on paper until you're spending 5 hours grinding for a 1% spawn just so it can run away on the first turn because you didn't instantly catch it with your first ball.

You mean like how it was since Gen 2? Exeggutor's sprite in Gold and Crystal is just a touched up version of its Yellow sprite, and all the Gen 3 backsprites for Gen 1-2 Pokemon are just altered versions of their Gen 2 backsprites.
>>
>>58276454
Retard, gen 5 games avoided gen1 trades in the wild which are the only ones that matter. Gengar being in the wild was a complete mistake, gen 5 corrected that. No one cares about non gen 1 trade evos. The fact you don't recognize this shows how clueless you are.
>>
>>58276530
>D-DOESN'T COUNT! ONLY KANTO MATTERS!
Right, is that why SM let you get a free Alolan Golem via trade AND SOS chain for Gengar, followed by SWSH and SV saying "fuck it" and letting you get all the Kanto trade evos via Raid Battles or fixed overworld spawns?

Also, N. Don't you think that for someone who can understand Pokemon and hear their deepest hearts, their purest, most unfiltered words and feelings, he'd be able to recognize how many of them are genuinely happy with their trainers and have zero doubts about being with humanity?
Shouldn't he have had his epiphany that "wait, Ghetsis might be le wrong..." as soon as he was let out into the world, seeing this constant consistency amongst all the Pokemon owned by trainers ASIDE from Team Plasma's Pokemon, the majority of which are used as tools and slaves for conquest and exploitation?

>>
>>58276666
NTA, personally I don't mind Plasma being presented as hypocrites or if they took the direction BW2 went in sooner by having a clear division of people who genuinely want to protect Pokemon and those who are just using it as a front.
What really sucks about that scene is the Grunts giving the most cartoonishly exposited dialogue revealing that Ghetsis is explicitly lying and using good intentions as a coverup for his own plans.

No, N just comes to the same conclusion as everyone else.
Pokemon love humans, humans love Pokemon, it's only a select few humans who are wrong like Ghetsis and his loyalists.
His whole character development was realizing his upbringing and grooming was a lie, and now he just wants a world where humans and Pokemon can coexist even harder, thereby even further strengthening the values of Pokemon's world and culture.

You mean the game where a godly being tells you "seek all the Pokemon." and in doing so, you teach the fearful immigrants of Hisui that Pokemon just want to be le friends, and they only got fucked up because they treated Pokemon as vicious monsters all the while invoking their territorial nature, creating confirmation bias?
I don't remember seeing any activists who thought humans would exploit and abuse Pokemon, just people who were scarred by their own failure to understand Pokemon and believed them to be the enemy.
>>58276718
Way to be reductionist, shitface. You can have a genuine activist group that has an actual point without going full "YOU'RE le bad guy!!!", maybe have them question the nature of things like keeping your Pokemon in Poke Balls all the time, or give some depth to the PC Storage System by letting us wonder where our Pokemon really go when we put them in the system, and if it's a truly humane and correct thing to do, since as far as I know, no game aside from SMUSUM have offered an explanation on where my Pokemon go when I put them into the system, meanwhile SMUSUM reassure me I'm doing a good thing because they go to the Poke Pelago, a Pokemon Paradise ran by a jolly fellow who has nothing but absolute love and care for all Pokemon and strives to make this home away from home be the best place it can possibly be for the Pokemon of Alola's trainers.
>>
>>58276704
You expected groundbreaking writing, from a Pokémon game of all things. You only have yourself to blame. As a matter of fact, the story in BW is still one of the best the series has had to offer, which doesn't mean it's a masterpiece, very far from it. Nobody, not even GF, pretended it was, except retards. It's still a decent story for what it is, especially compared to the literal nothingburgers we were used to in previous generations.
>>
>>58276743
That's great and all, but it conceptually fails because of the angle it chose, and SM mogs in the story department.
>>
>>58276743
I'd gladly take a story that just exists so there's an adventure to go on in the first place over a laughably bad story that wants you to take it seriously

That's Team Plasma in BW2 after Neo Team Plasma splintered off. They just take care of Pokemon and be nice now, like a real peaceful activist group would do.

It fails because it raises the question "is it moral to catch Pokémon and use them for fighting" and never really answers it. That's the biggest and most important flaw of the game's writing. That question IS raised nonetheless and it has impact. People are swayed by Team Plasma, and (You) also think seriously about that question for possibly the first time.
>and SM mogs in the story department.
That's great and all, but I never said otherwise.
>>
>>58276753
...And they don't do anything to challenge the Pokemon world conceptually, they're just remorseful people who regret ever getting swept up in Plasma's hype without doing their due research on the group. They aren't offering a new perspective on the culture or the way humans and Pokemon coexist, they're just ordinary trainers who give a shit, just like everyone else that isn't an outlier like Ghetsis and his goons.

XY have too much boring dialogue, lags way too much. The story is really boring and forgettable (most forgettable at that point), only a handful of interesting and memorable characters. Story progression is piss easy, every route is straight forward with progression except for Route 20 which seems to be random. Introduced Mega Evolution yet it's hardly used throughout the game, I understand if they were trying to make it seem like a rare thing, but surely we couldn't get a few more trainers like the E4 and Wulfric.
Also the motony of battles, despite having a diverse Pokédex, most trainers just use a few Kantomons.
>>
>>58276805
Gen 2 was objectively corrupted by greed and it shows. They completely butchered Pokemon's design philosophy to pander to girls (Baby Pokemon, general cutesy, rounder designs, etc.) and make it easier for the anime's animators and merch makers to depict the new Pokemon, rather than focusing on actually good monster designs.

Ex-cultists regret being in a cult and realize Pokemon and humans are actually happy together by interacting with Pokemon.

It seriously just sounds like people are upset that the game concludes the antagonists are wrong. When the game itself sets up the whole issue and makes the player question things in the first place.

You beat N, break his conditioning, and prove that humans and Pokemon belong together with the power of friendship.

How did you expect it to end?
>>
>>58276817
By offering nuance to how humans and Pokemon should be together, not "everything is perfectly fine as is, there are no important questions to ask, just carry on, don't ever question why someone would use this angle for their schemes if the status quo is so utopic in the first place."

Team Plasma are genuinely one of the dumbest ideaguy-tier concepts for an evil team ever. And even worse is the “big reveal” that the obviously fucking evil guy masterminded it all so that he can TAKE OVER THE REGION BECAUSE NO ONE WILL HAVE ANY POKEMON TO STOP HIM LOL. It’s such a cartoonishly stupid plot point, it’s on the level of the bastardized Team Magma/Aqua that we got in RSE but people are fooled by aesthetics so they think it’s kino.
>>
>>58276822
BW while staying within the limits of a safe, formulaic Pokémon game, still manages to push boundaries. It uses the ignorance of Unova’s people about their own history as a way to plant seeds of doubt, maybe this "utopia" isn’t as righteous as it seems. The message isn’t forced through heavy handed speeches, but through N’s sincerity. He never becomes a traditional trainer and consistently expresses his wish for a world without Poké Balls. From BW1 to BW2, he learns more about society, but never fully endorses it.
Even the rivals, Cheren and Bianca, fit into the game’s theme of truth vs ideals. Cheren represents the ideal of becoming strong, while Bianca represents the truth: that not everyone can be. Both grow in ways that feel natural. So, for a kids’ game, Gen 5 is actually pretty decently written
>>
>>58276915

At least you could argue that Team Magma had a point in wanting more land, especially with such a riveting and diverse oceanic ecosystem that consists solely of Wingull, Tentacool, Carvanha, Wailmer, Chinchou, Clamperl, Relicanth, Horsea, Corsola, Staryu and Magikarp for such an absurdly large expanse of water mass.

no that was megas

>>58276969
At some point they just started adding features so they could point to the games as being full of new things but without considering whether they actually have depth or gameplay value. Gen 10 will include something like Draft Battles or Pokemon Interpretive Dance and people will get excited about it for all of 10 minutes and then never care about them again while 10+ year old features like the frontier and following pokemon remain highly beloved and requested

>no triple battle for the first gym
>no double battle for drayden/iris
>no triple battle where you team up with cheren and bianca
>just forced version exclusive shit
GameFreak always finds a way to waste their mechanics
>>
>>58277032
holy fuck I forgot they were essentially version exclusive, GF WHY
>>
>>58276986
explain to me WHY triple and rotation battles don't count, because they literally meet all the criteria
>>
>>58277062
How do I play Triple Battles and Rotation Battles in Gen 7 onward?
>>
>>58276383
People actually care about berry farming?

>>58277065
>how do i play with megas from swsh to scavio?
>how do i play with z moves in gen 8 onward?
>how do i play with dynamax in gen 9?
you can't make this shit up

>>58277077
Precisely, Triples and Rotations are gimmicks.
Even more laughable, they're gimmicks that aren't even coming back in Champions, THAT'S how ass they were.
>>
>>58277072
No, they don't. Only Unova detractors and the severely autistic (competitive players, contestfags, etc.) care to bring up berries, because the game does a piss poor job of making you care beyond "oh, that item that gives the Gym Leader's ace 50 health back to drag out the battle even more, cooooool..."

> shiny hunting
No idea how this became the normie version of a hardcore Pokémon fan. It's autistic as fuck.

Grunt: Maxie, we're thirsty.
Maxie: Oh shit.

>>58277083
>Precisely, Triples and Rotations are gimmicks.
So doubles too?
>>
>>58277175
Doubles was conceived as a gimmick but it turns out it's good enough to keep around forever.

And base two spinoff games on.

We need another entry that's doubles only. Even the games that introduce double battles don't use them in interesting ways. Colosseum and XD used the mechanics to their fullest but in all the mainline games it's just an occasional gimmick battle.

>>58277062
no big button on the fight screen

>>58277083
Yeah... That's the point I was arguing.

gen 3 and 4 have not aged well
>>
>>58276399
>Did DP have any?
Um... Psyducks? Somebody refresh my memory, please
>>
>>58277319
they've aged great
>>
>>58277463
Not really
>>
>>58277417
You don't catch them tho
>>
>>58277463
I’d dare say that Gen 3 aged really damn well to the point where you could reccomend it to a person who doesn’t even care for Pokemon like that, Gen 4 has some issues but honestly if you have patience and give it to someone who loves adventure, they’d probably like it a lot
>>
>>58277072
No one mentioned anything about berry farming.

>>58277105
No one mentioned anything about shiny hunting.
>>
>>58277319
opposed to what
>>
>>58276825
not really, half the dex is made up of irredeemable shitmons that they're still fixing 7 gens later

>IT'S BORING IT'S BORING IT'S BORING IT'S BORING
Thank you for proving his point.

I was a huge BWfag, but i'm not sure anymore, especially about the story maybe it was just nostalgia. Maybe yawnie is right.
>>
>>58276679
Yeah you're right. Borts, like myself are known for their literacy skills. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got an essay to write about story telling in the FF series and how it's changed overtime
>>
>>58276697
Indeed. You're smiling. It was a brilliant experience. The story actually felt somewhat decent and it ran smoothly.
>>
>>58276700
I don't see the problem. Nothing wrong with the stuttering. Also it's a slight mistranslation. In Japanese he pretty much just says "World Team Plasma desires"
>>
>>58276714
People hated how honey encounters were unnecessarily rare. They also hated how common Rock Smash encounters were, except when you're specifically trying to find them.

Functional but good

Kino, it sucks they cut content
>After 12
Dead franchise

>>58277829
He's not stuttering, he's correcting himself to play off how much of an egomaniac he is
>C-cope bort!!
It's true doe, play the game
>>
>>58276715
Tbh anon, it's most likely because those with autism tend to be terrible with that kind of stuff.

Why is he such an idiot?

>All these replies compared to all the other threads
Faggot mods should bring back the IP counter instead of letting the retard brigade take a SWSH on the board for the nTh time this negrosecond
>>
>>58276762
I genuinely have never found a Unovabort annoying.
>>
>>58276874
Why is he Trans colours?
>>
>>58277850
Then we'd have a counter of like 5 at most
>>
>>58277855
He’s not
