How does this make you feel?
>I need to enter a building to heal my team because... I JUST DO OK?!
>>56485476That we are evolving
>>56485476>can seamlessly get my boys healed up without entering and exiting another screenpretty damn good
>>56485476Skipping loading screen is a fine addition.The autist in me wants to scream that missing that separation of a designated "resting area" is detrimental to the sovl of the game, but Pokemon has been moving further and further away from a JRPG in recent years, so the need for that has been reduced anyway.
>>56485476It's cool on routes, but there should still be standard pokemon centers and pokemarts in the citys and towns.Why the fuck would someone living in the town need to travel to the outskirts of a dangerous route to heal their pokemon?
>>56485476Rank the Center designs
>>56485495Best to worstTop Tier>Galar>AlolaHigh Tier>Kanto 3 (LGPE)>Unova>Johto 2 (HGSS)Mid Tier>Kalos>Kanto 2 (FRLG)>Hoenn 1 (RSE)>SinnohLow Tier>Kanto 1 (RBY)>PaldeaBottom Tier>Paldea>Johto 1 (GSC)
Not in any way mad, let alone as mad as you making a thread to cry about building choices being informed by development decisions.
>>56485514Whoops, meant Hoenn 2 (ORAS) at bottom tier / 2nd to last instead of Paldea twiceThis is probably the only ranking Galar wins at
>>56485514How is GSC as bad as Paldea? the fact they put in the effort to have a building should put it at the same level as RBY
>>56485479Fuck it, let's just make the whole game a text-based adventure. Animations take up too much time, walking takes up too much time, and don't get me started on catching and battling!
>>56485537>New bad old good because... IT JUST IS OK?!SV is a perfectly fine open world that just works. I don't care about your need to watch a black screen every time you head to a Poké Center. And Legends: Arceus is even better considering I don't have to watch any transition screens to fight and catch wild Pokémon.
>>56485476>All the services in one place without a loading screenincredibly based. >>56485537Yeah, that's why you have the option to turn battle graphics off retard.In fact, Pokerole - an unofficial fan TTRPG - is objectively better than any of the video games has ever been and it's a janky mess made by ESLs.
>>56485548>StrawmanWhen did I even mention old good? I'm talking about one specific part of a game, I liked SV. At least try and form a decent argument lmao>>56485580How does that make me a retard? You're retarded if you use such a feature. Why are you even playing games at all if you're such a spastic that a battle animation overstims you. Try reading a book.
>>56485476How did it take NINE generations for Pokemon to put out an oppen world game? NINE generations!!!!
>>56485476I don't get why the Paldea is bad, is actually faster to get the healing, tutors and shit and is not like it matters anyway because the pokemon center past gen 6 lose their soul because you no longer have the second floor to access to the online services
>>56485476Similar vibes
>>56485479>seething out of nowhere at a neutral questionGuilty conscious? Seems like you think something is bad deep down inside.
>BotW lets you seamlessly enter countless buildings>Pokemon can'tWhy is this?
>>56485692>you can't enjoy [current year] Pokémon because... YOU JUST CAN'T OK?!Projecting much, anon? You are the one seething that I find joy in modern Pokémon :-)
>>56485627Because they didn't have the hardware for 7 generations and needed a generation to explore the new console's possibilities.
>>56485704>BotW is a game aimed primarily at older pre-teens and adults, while still being friendly enough to allow kids play with adult supervision advised>gaps between entries span up to several years, unless Aonuma's trying to make a point, meaning more development time is afforded to the environments>Pokémon is a game aimed squarely at adults, with enough concessions and appeals to adults to ensure a crossover>games are released yearly, to continue the conveyor belt of fresh blood being indoctrinated into the brand to replace the teens and manchldren "leaving forever", thus don't need to concentrate as much on elements the devs feel superfluous to presenting a game to childrenWhen you stop thinking of Pokémon as a game made for adults, you might actually start to understand why they don't do the things the types of adults like you want.
>>56485753>aimed squarely at kids, to the point they're free to play without adult supervision*Fucking touchpad.
>>56485476same energy
>>56485476Angry. Then again, I still miss the days when the Pokemart and Pokecenter were different buildings. I think they should've only had combined buildings (with less stock choices) in the rural centers.
>>56485476The soul is gradually getting sucked out
>>56485753why do you, as an adult, feel the need to sit around and defend a kid's franchise from criticism? don't you have better things to do, as an adult?not even going to get into how stupid how argument is considering the series has always been for children and we're mostly comparing the games now to the games in the past....which were also kid's games.
>>56485647That's the intent, especially because you ride around two bikemons in SV. Make a pit stop and keep on truckin'.
You can see its getting more soulful every new generation.
>>56485479Well in lore and the anime they actually treat your pokemon, so going inside where the nurse can do that makes sense. Even if gameplay wise it is just a blip bloop machine. Turning it into a gas station is cringe as shit The temporary pokecenter in kitakami was nice though, the nurse obviously isn't a professional by her attitude. It's all temporary there while the schools are visiting for a trip, there's not normally a pokecenter there to heal
>>56485927what have they done for hurt pokemon in the new anime?
>>56485753>entering buildings is adult-codedweird take there anon
>>56485476I like it but they should have one in the city too.
>>56485742>:-)God damn you're angry.
>>56485934I don't recall seeing a pokecenter in the new one since they're always traveling, they treat them by hand. Much like pokecenters were portrayed in the anime before. It's not a machine doing it
>>56485596>How does that make me a retard?You're winging about a non-problem.>You're retarded if you use such a featureNo? It makes the game faster, which is what you seem to want.>Why are you even playing games at all if you're such a spastic that a battle animation overstims you.Because Pokemon is a button-mashing simulator to rival mario party, you mash A to win every fight.It's why I said the fan-made TTRPG is objectively better than any of the video games, because it is. You actually give a shit about the story because the average GM can worldbuild better than gamefreak ever could, you give a shit about the region's pokemon because it's a finely curated list instead of the dogshit gamefreak puts out, you enjoy using the pokemon you have because pokemon that suck ass in the video games have been buffed to be good in Pokerole. Fuck Gamefreak and fuck the video games, TTRPGs are superior to vidya in every single possible way and I long for the second great video game crash so they can overtake Vidya as the primary method of entertainment.
Least blatant genwar thread
>>56485704>WhyGameFreak.
>>56485495>XY > DP > Orre > The restAfter the PSS included all networking features, the Pokemon Centers in XY (and onwards) were redesigned to match the region. Kalos version has a lounge, a TV, and a changing room for character customization. This was also the first game where your character could physically sit down or interact with furniture, so you can go inside and rest. Sinnoh ranks highly because of the nighttime remix, which no other game does.Orre is underrated, with the Pokemon Centers matching the aesthetic of each towns while still resembling a rest stop.
>>56485856I mean, I don't mind the modern look, but I miss the old colorful places.
>>56485476Jesus SV is soulless
>>56485476for me one of the worst aspects of SV was that there was no buildings or houses to enter and explore, it makes everything feel fake and pointless.
>>56485476SV's pokecenter works for what it is, but I think it would've benefitted from traditional indoor centers in the major cities instead of awkwardly tacked to the side of them. It's not like it's out of SV's scope either, the market area in porto marinada is pretty much a seamless indoors location.
>>56486335>Jesus SV is [Meaningless buzzword]
>>56485476Of all the thing people can criticize in SV (a lot) this isn't one of them
>>56485476>SV is the only one where you're interacting with another player on the overworldOh yeah, SV won.
It's kind of sad, really. Pokecenters were always meant to be whole ass dedicated lodges that provided essential services. The anime didn't invent that, they were originally conceived as inns.Also the pitstop logistically does not work in the cold ass mountains. Even my favorite mountainous ice cream parlor in Washington was indoors, not outdoors. There was a good reason for that.
>>56485927A conservative, old and racist village allows a young lady to wear a dress that open and a baseball cap like that? That's fishy.
>>56485476Sad. I loved the comfy ambience of the Hoenn PokeCenters. Sinnoh took that up a notch further with the night theme for the Pokémon Center which is so insanely comfy. Gives you a kinda "safe and sound after a long, rough day adventuring sorta vibe" like you got a mug of hot cocoa in your hands
>sad >comfy>vibeAre all these AI posts?
>>56486579Bot answer.
>>56486572no but shartdea’s shitty map was ai generated
>>56486581>AI malfunctionPaid marketer or Nintendo shillbot confirmed.
>>56485476Makes me feel like replaying Scarlet.
>>56486361Soulless post.
>>56486426Ding ding ding, an anon who understands the series
>>56486010>It makes the game faster And there it is, imagine having a panic attack because the screen went black for 2 seconds. go play fucking Tetris or something you Zoomer autist.
>>56485476The gas station styled Pokémon Centers would be fine if there were some regular Pokémon Centers in the major cities.
>>56485476Gen X will give you a device that will be a portable Pokémon center and people will defend it for being a “better option” than having to buy healing items
Presentation > GameplayYou can have the best gameplay in the world and no one is going to care if the game looks like shit or looks cheap as hell. This is why people barely invest in indie games.
>>56485704SV is too busy rendering an entire to-scale globe full of empty space in the background that you'll never be able to access anyways, adding enter-able structures without a transition scene would make the game fry itself.
>>56485856>went from fun place for kids to explore to commie dystopiaAccurate
>>56485476Makes me fucking furious. This is a true testament that GameFreak doesn't care about Pokemon.
PC should be reworked:>Walk in and immediately hand off Pokeballs to nurse on the right>Center is filled with trainers on parallel journey to yours>Check in on your NPC bros for side quests, trades, battles>Look at bulletin board for news/quests>Customize trainer in changing area>Workout center for stat training/tuning>Walk out on counter's opposite side with party healed
>>56486958Fucking dogshit take. This is why we are getting garbage movie game slop with their 69 teraflop per megafuck ultra realistic graphics that have as much gameplay substance as a dry slice of white bread. Imagine supporting this shit.
>>56486629>[Meaningless buzzword] post.
>>56487135You know that buzzword is a buzzword too, right?
>>56487128Cry all you want. That's how reality is. There's already so many games flooding the market, and it's a very competitive market. You probably don't even pay attention to majority of the shit that are available right now, let alone played them to see if they have good gameplay.
>>56487166I don't pay attention to soulless western AAA slop. I only play indie games and the occasional Japanese AAA game.
>>56485476they kinda remind me of gas stations, which actually would make more sense for routes/open areas. towns still shouldve had dedicated centers though
>>56485476nothing, pokemon ended at Gen 5 the rest is nu-gen slop
>>56485927If the new "Pokemon Centers" were to be adapted into anime, they would function as a ranger station, having the basics for injuries and having to call a helicopter or that flying cabin using Squawkabilly to take the Pokemon to a traditional Pokemon Center in the nearest city.Regarding the girl from Kitakami, she is a parody of those town delinquents who end up working in a convenience store by not leaving the town or continuing their studies at university, the Japanese equivalent of being trapped as a McDonald's cashier in your hometown.
>>56485753What does it say about you then?
>>56486554What?
>>56486564Exactly, Poke Centers were cute too
>>56485476They should have added both the old centres and that new one
>>56487166>so many games flooding the market>almost all of them are selling worse than the average blockbuster title from 2006>and there's less big releases per year as wellAnon...
>... I JUST DO OK?!>... I JUST DO OK?!>... I JUST DO OK?!>... I JUST DO OK?!
>>56485476Remember to never save in a Pokemon center, never rest in a Pokemon center.https://creepypastaspinoff.fandom.com/wiki/Nurse_Joy
>>56488912My N64 niggas know you must ALWAYS save in a Pokémon Center. I will read your zoomershit nonetheless.
>>56487035communism is when people look different in a video game
>>56485476Wagie, just like 92% of the Portuguese employees.
>>56485476Hate it. A RPG world should feel real and this pokemon center feels terribly unreal in the world. I like the idea of having "field office pkmn centers" on routes but they should be smaller and more rustic. Pokemon centers in towns and cities should be indoors
>>56489028>A RPG world should feel realone of the stupidest takes I've ever seen. Why would I want my RPG to reflect reality? I'm playing Pokemon to immerse myself in that world, not the real one
>>56486713>imagine having a panic attack because the screen went black for 2 secondsIt's annoying to have to stop every 2 seconds to wait for the game to load, and takes you out of the experience. I don't have to wait for this shit because I've realized Video games are shit and TTRPGs are superior, but if I do play a video game I want as little downtime as possible. My time is valuable and should not be wasted.>go play fucking Tetris or something you Zoomer autist.I'm 32 years old, and I lived through Pokemania unlike (You), who is actually a zoomer and will never know what it was like getting a legitimate mew with a printed certificate at a real, physical event before the days of Wi-fi and bluetooth. I've just come to realize that my time on this world is shorter than it is long, and that my time is now more valuable.
>>56489040You perfectly understood what he meant you pedantic little shit.
>>56485647I never thought I'd say this, but that is the coolest gas station I have ever seen
>>56489040A role-playing game needs to be real to immerse yourself into the ROLE-playing. It's why Paldea is shit because every town and city feels lifeless and culture less.
>>56485476the gacha is the real mainline game then
>>56487128>"movie game"Back to /v/.
>>56489347she's right though
>>56489396Well movies are the superior art format, so...
>>56485476Makes me feel like my stomach hurts.
>>56489040the most funny is that one main complains of SV from shitposters is that is too "realistic" lmaothis board can't decide what they want
>>56485627They resisted the slop for so long.....Game Freak secretly based?
>>56485476It gives me the big sad.
>>56490680Why?
>>56485476>You can't spend a night safely in a pokemon center anymore now it's just a gas station
