    I want a 3D Pokémon in the graphics style of Animal Crossing New Horizons, the lighting and shading in that game looks way better than whatever GameFreak makes. The last couple of 3D Pokémon games look so generic, basically bog standard anime game.

    Switch 2 sucks. What even is there for it that is a must? I still play switch 1 but there’s really nothing that makes me want to get the switch 2

    Also, Mario kart 8 is now Nintendos version of Skyrim and gta v. we never even got part 9 for switch 1

    As someone who hasn’t played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?

      The Internet hates modern pokemon - and a lot of their critiques are valid - but imo they’ve been consistently fun and I have no idea why there’s so much hate for the latest ones which were a pretty chill time

      Terrible. They are terrible today. The last game pair they put out was an absolute joke in every regard.

      I recommend never giving them another penny.

      Oh, yes. And the shark has a N64 number of polygons, and they tried to copyright the term “jumping the shark”. But it’s okay, because there’s a horde of dumb people that will buy it anyway.

      It definitely depends on how much they incorporate improvements from Legends: Arceus Z-A (one of the side games). Gens 6 - 8 were all so easy that a popular way to play each of those is with a difficulty mod, if you are able.

      Gen 9 tried to mix it up a bit, but as another user mentioned the performance on the Switch was so poor that it was hard to enjoy.

      Legends: Arceus Z-A has introduced several quality of life features that could be game changing if they make it into Winds & Waves, but we shall see. This could be the most fun mainline gen, if they do it right, or they could fumble it again.

      Edit: Looking back, both times I meant to say Z-A I said Arceus. Whoops.

      I’ve played every main-line and reboot pokemon game since they came out. I didn’t finish Scarlet and Violet, it was so bad, also didn’t finish Legends Arceus cause it was so lazy, and I’ve never played Legends Z-A. They’ve stopped putting in any amount of effort, so why should I bother to play them?

        My wife is a true blue Pokemon fan. Finished every game to date including all the DLCs, remakes, and most of the spin-offs.

        And even she couldn’t finish ZA. Which surprised me because she loved Arceus. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the fact that the game sets you up to expect 26 ranks to climb through, but then it just skips most of them. It was too lazy and disappointing for her to overlook.
