I feel like you don't deserve to be referencing your older games when your current design philosophy is nothing like them, or what made them special
What's the "current design philosophy" compared to the older one, OP? What made the older games "special"?
That's the whole point of the evolution of the series, you dumb fucking monkey. And just because (You) don't feel the same autistic attachment to the new shit like you do your (painfully obvious zoomie afterbirth) experience of Pokémon doesn't mean they actually lost a step. Just means you stepped off the carriage and are wondering why the door's moving away from you.
>>59047083Not being a piece of shit mobile game for starters
>>59047083Freedom to go catch the legendary birds via my own choices, routes that hold caves and other secrets for exploring vs corridors where NPCs constantly interrupt you.
>>59047093Tell me why Diamond was my first game in '08, and I didn't even play FireRed until 2014, yet something about it feels far more compelling and satisfying to me compared to Gens 8 or 9.
>>59047096There hasn't been a corridor where NPC's stop you in several games anon. Thanks for proving you don't actually play the games you bitch and cry about.
>>59047104Because you convinced yourself that era you missed was "peak". Wild how you never mentioned playing RBY or GSC on VC when they're the "truest" pokémon experience, given they're the only two done by the creator to his actual vision, instead of palming it off to someone to curate his vision. My first was Red at 15. I'm still playing today and can safely say the heart and soul of Pokémon is STILL there. But faggots don't want Pokémon's heart and soul, they want it to pander to them and their ideal of what the franchise should be.
>>59047083Didn't some lead designer admit the games are now made for people who want to look at their phone instead of playing them?
>>59047110>There hasn't been a corridor where NPC's stop you in several games anonI can't wait to see you prove this claim true.
>>59047096Neither of these things have been issues since gen 7
>>59047143Yeah that's correct.They admit they put less in the game because "kids have phones now".Whereas durong HGSS they said "we're competing with phones and the internet, so we need as manyngood features as possible".
>>59047143Masuda said that during the promotional run for XY. The caveat is, we now know thanks to the teraleak that Masuda had already been fired as director under acrimonious circumstances midway through XY's development. Looking back, that comment now reads like he was sneak dissing Ohmori while being forced to promote his shovelware.
>>59047125I played Red and Gold on VC when I was 18/19
>>59047210>The caveat is, we now know thanks to the teraleak that [FANFIC]every time
>>59047146>L: A>SV>L: Z-ADidn't find a corridor chock full of NPC's like nugget bridge or anything after they culled the 90's era game design tropes they'd relied on all Pokémon's existence to L: A anon. That's what I said about playing the games. Fuck, I beat Violet without needing to touch the generic NPC's by and large.
