I keep seeing people complaining about the gameplay and how it need a major overhaul. Like how? What is the problem? Do you not like it being an RPG anymore or is it something else?They even release two games (PLA and ZA) with different playstyles and people still complain. What's the issue and what exactly needs to be change?
>>736465236Instead of them just wandering around aimlessly, you should be able to observe Pokemon acting out the behaviors described in their Pokedex entries. And for rare Pokemon, you should be able to track them down to their lairs, kinda like Monster Hunter.
Pokemon on console was always the most overrated idea. The gameplay was designed to be simplistic and for a gameboy, so if you scale that up to a console it doesn't work.Zelda with the old formula, on console, largly didn't work. You had OOT, Windwaker and TP, then an assload of failures up until BOTW that ditched the formula.
>>736465236Scottish in her?
>>736465638That doesn't really explain the problem. Why are people complaining?
>>736465974SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!
>>736465236Imagine if someone who eats paste could actually lose a battle in these games.
>>736466932i wish i could play this at full volume
>This is what pokefags devolved toThe shield already represents armor, you cumbrained retard.
I"m tired of the 1v1 battles. I want Pokemon to be a 4 niggas in a row game.
>>736467392play the superior mystery dungeon games
>>736467392
>>736465236Well if you want to talk about itThe bones of the battle system are decent enough but the problem is the refusal to update them and to make the actual game incentivize using it. For example>"Pokemon A used move B.">animation for move B>slowly watch the health tick down>"It's super effective!">"Opponent C used move D">it's a multi-hit move, so the animation plays out 2 to 5 times, with an awkward pause between each one>watch the health tick down again, once for each hit>"It's a critical hit!">"It's not very effective">weather animation plays>watch the health tick down again>"A was buffeted by the sandstorm!">now I have to watch the enemy's health tick down>"C was buffeted by the sandstorm!"This is fucking nonsense. Having ALL information be delivered via textbox is fucking ridiculous and makes battles take way longer. And I can see your next argument>Well Pokemon battles are meant to be played in Doubles so complaining about this is unfairAnd if you did, I'd say this is still a problem even in Doubles. But also most of the actual game is played in Singles. So the 30 whatever hour game doesn't even teach you how to fucking play. Not that it'd matter because the games are so easy that there's no incentive to dig into strategy. The height of Pokemon challenges is type match ups but every NPC is only allowed to have like 2 types. 3 max. So by the time you finish, the only thing you learn is to blast each enemy with their weakness. I wonder why most players just throw out legendaries and click the big stupid, signature move?
>>736467964That really insightful. Thank you for actually giving a reason for an overhaul.
>>736465236Pokemon hasn't really evolved with the times like it's contemporaries did near the turn on the century. There's no 3d Pokemon game of the quality of Ocarina of Time or Super Mario 64 for example.
>>736465236Cynthia is built
>>736467284I miss /f/
>>736465236I didn’t like gigantimax The antagonist’s logic was hard to follow
>>736465236People got into the game because it's a simple game that even kids can play and enjoy. Then people complain because it's a simple game that even kids can play and enjoy. The problem isn't the games. The problem is that the people playing the games grew up, and are upset the games still pander to the children they once were.It's the same thing you see with Disney or Mario or a dozen other kid-friendly franchises.
>>736467662Lol, pidgeot thinks he's on the team
>>736468876>I didn’t like gigantimaxThat hasn't been a thing for seven years. Get over it and play another Pokemon game already. There have been three entire games (four if you count Poketopia) for you to play instead.
>>736465236>I keep seeing people complaining about the gameplay and how it need a major overhaul. Like how? What is the problem?The core gameplay is fine the problem is the campaign for the newer games are so lazily designed that the only reason to play the games would be for pvp, which you need to clear the campaign for. Now with champions assuming the campaign doesn't improve theres virtually no reason to play mainline pokemon anymore
>>736468880Megaman Battle Network has the exact same target audience but trusts it's players so much more it's a night and day difference
>>736468880The newer games are way easier than the old ones though. The games have dumbed themselves down tremendously.
>>736469149Mega Man Battle Network had you buying drugs and talking with hookers. It was clear that nobody in upper management were that interested in what was going into the game, just that it sold and made money. The games would probably have raised a fit if Mega Man was still a relevant franchise at the time.
>>736465638Pokopia gives me huge hope that Wind/Waves will incorporate even the slightest ammount of the habitat variety. Even just a basic ammount would really do well to improve the games.
>>736467662Neat.
>>736469265The point being that this isn't an issue of subject matter but how the game is constructed and balanced. Pokemon is Switch console game still pretending it's a Gameboy game. Shit like the UI, how information is presented, the game difficulty, the games presentation aka graphics and sound, and many, many more things should've been updated a long, LONG time ago. More than any other company on the planet, Pokemon has the resources to do it. And saying "but it's for kids" sounds ridiculous when other games that are "just for kids" are doing far more with far less
>>736467392Then play pvp. It's 2 niggas in a row with 2 in the back and 2 you didn't bring.
>>736465236I don't like the implication of the bikini armor game as sword and shield legendaries are dogs. If the bikini armor girl is related to the dogs somehow, then...
>>736465236I just want lots of good singleplayer content and for the main story to have a semblance of difficulty to actually encourage using any of the game's mechanics.
>>736470186Pretty sure that this was made before the reveal of the legendaries.
>>736470301While we're on the subject, the field exploration needs a major overhaul. Because as it stands, you're either battling or walking to the next battle. When is the last time someone mentioned enjoying exploring an area? We don't even get Victory Roads anymore.
>>736468876>The antagonist’s logic was hard to followIndian Elon Musk is asking Tom Brady to help solve energy crisis right in the middle of the Super Bowl when said energy crisis could be solved at literally any other day.
>>736468880Kids are not that retarded, they can handle playing somewhat challenging videogames. You don't need to dumb everything down to the level of an actual toddler.>It's just a kid's show, so obviously it doesn't matter that it's just purely random nonsense with no good message to teach kids!Is a retarded stance.
>>736470408Also Tom Brady doesn't even point out the absurdity of asking a professional athlete to solve an energy crisis that's still 1000 years away. He's 100% willing to try and help anyway after the game is over. A game that Indian Elon Musk both owns and is actively funding and managing. So rather than put his team of scientists who went to college to learn about energy on the problem. Or shut down the Super Bowl because this is more important. Or make literally any other decision other than the one he actually made. Indian Elon Musk decides to start the apocalypse.
>>736465236How many species of Pokemon do just about nothing other than spawn and wander around? And there's so many species in any given region that the majority of the thought given to their placement is just ensuring the player has access to the species in a vaguely logical way, which harms their presence as anything other than a tool to get and use. They're not really obstacles anymore outside of scripted battles, the process of looking for something you want to catch is entirely different and much faster.It feels like they've redesigned the game so that everything a player might once have spent time on is frictionless, but what am I supposed to spend time on now?
