theyve righted the ship recently. Arceus was great, ZA was...well look the combat system was a nice switchup

wind/waves looks like the first real effort theyve put into a game in decades

>>740649079
>breeding le bad cuz it makes no sense for a few genwun pokemon like kangaskhan or cubone
lezt's go pikachu/eevee removed breeding to stay "true to the original" (but dark/steel/fairy exists) and it really reminds you how essential this mechanic has become

Focusing and designing the games to only appeal for multiplayer content and compfags

>>740649079
Copyright can't ensure that a franchise maintains quality after 5-10 years, after that point quality can only be ensured by forcing the franchise to compete on level ground with fan works.

>>740649079
Instead of digging further into the details of what they had, they kept expanding the world until it became unrecognizable

>>740650213
Oh sure you did for the engaging gameplay (throwing shit at pokemon from start to finish), exploring empty caves with a corridor and a room and catching random 3d pokemon models that dont do anything in the empty overworld. What a gamer you are

thanks!

Why are there gen 1 pokemon on the numon side

>>740650873
Why are you leaving out QoL from gen 6 up? I fucking hate those games but I won't deny that they busted the door wide open for EV training and IV breeding.

>>740649079
>Bellossom hate out of nowhere
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>740651257
Because you shouldnt care about IV and EV, pokemon is not a competitive game

breeding ruined the obscurity and collection aspect of pokemon

gen poo is probably the biggest mistake as a whole

>>740651257
I didn't intentionally, but I feel like its Gen 8/Gen9 when EV/IV QOL stuff were any good.
Gen 6 still has you playing minigames and farming hoard battles which aren't that big of a leap.

Where to begin:
Low quality.
Boring levels.
Bad designs.
Bad Mechanics.
Repetitive gameplay.
Scarse innovation.
Boring Stories.
No effort or desire to improve the current formula.
Bugs (Since Sword/Shield).
No complete Pokedex (Since Ultra Sun/Moon).
Overpriced.

Gen 7: peak

>>740649079
the original players grew out of it and nintendo realized they make way, way more money on merch than on the games and a lot of the designs started tending to the cinnamoroll hello kitty shit

>>740650873
Disingenuous as fuck to list QoL for Gen 5. And saying moves/abilities is stupid too because they do that every gen.

2nd gen started catering to cutefags because they sold the best
3rd gen overly simplified the artwork so it was easier to make toys/plushies out of them and make anime production easier
4th gen tried to correct 3rd gens simplistic designs by adding a bunch of ugly extremities to them so they would have superficial complexity but still be easy to make merchandise of
Pokemon visual design went to shit by then

You try so hard to downplay, yet forgot the part where you explain how the older games had better catching mechanics (they did not).

Did someone say Claude thread?

Did you know Claude 8th caught Articuno, beat Elite 4 and the rival and caught Mewtwo?

???????
>scarce innovation
Sword/shield finally went open world, arceus actually did it well, and ZA completely reinvented the combat system

>>740649614
>ZA was...well look the combat system was a nice switchup
It was shit for the simple fact that there was clearly zero testing with it. Certain moves were clearly better due to shorter cooldowns and faster animations. Also Aegislash was entirely worthless due to the long ass animation it has to do to switch to shield form before it can use King's Shield.

>>740652074
bad graphics are fine if you have a good artstyle and put effort into the details, modern pokemon has neither

Yawnfag is one of the most notorious hoenbabbies on the board

>>740652736
>Sword/shield finally went open world, arceus actually did it well
Are you seriously thinking that SwSh Arceus and also Paldea are good open world? Holy shit you are a fucking retard

You really have brain damage if you believe it was good

>>740652405

I said they innovated the formul from the linear hallways and routes the series was known for, my illiterate retard

Room temperature IQ

>>740653805
1) Learn to greentext
2) changing doesnt mean improving. The hallways had much more level design than the fucking crap they are shitting out since SwShit, that is just an empty map with N64 textures and random item scattered around as no actual meaningful rewards. Enjoy your trash and keep thinking that this turd is actually chocolate

No. SwSH is GARBAGE.

Yes the bugs are bad but it's far more fun to play than SWSH the hallway simulator and unexplained-cut-content the game.

gen 2 is literally a dlc for gen 1
