Pokemon Video Game • Page 518

Having said that before about the starters, there's a lot of designs I love in this gen. All of the ancient paradox pokemon are 10/10 for me, the Primeape and Bisharp evolutions are awesome, all the legendaries are fantastic, a lot of the first stages I just love (Protect Cetoddle with your god damn life) and I don't know why but the fuckin Cheestring lookin' goof just made me really happy

 

all the footage i've seen was on switch hardware with the day one patch installed, so i think we're just SOL. gamefreak is just incapable of making a smooth running 3d pokemon game.

 

It's Pokemon. It doesn't bother me that much because I except very little from them

 

i mean same but that's also sad. pokemon is the most profitable franchise in the world, there's just no excuse for the games to be as poorly made as they have been over the last 10 years

 

Idk what you guys are talking about, Austin John said he got a copy early and the game looks amazing compared to any of the trailers.

I hope people aren’t making decisions based seeing randos play shoddy simulators or whatever

 

the legitimate switch hardware has been out in the wild for at least 5 days now. people are playing it now with the day one patch. so it's not an emulator run, but even then switch emulation is fully cracked at this point so it would effectively be the same thing.

 

I am absolutely basing it off of the official trailers they released. Shouldn't have made a game that runs like that then.

 

I still haven’t played Sword or Shield and never plan on it. I am getting Violet though

 

Yeah it's weird. I'm excited for the games and think I'ma have a great time with em, but I think the criticisms of how the game looks and runs are valid for sure. A lot of other developers would be roasted to oblivion for releasing promotional material in the state Pokemon's has been in (and I'm sure some have been). I think using that as a reason to criticize the rest of the game is a bit much, which I have certainly have seen, but it's still worth mentioning

 

Shield is fun so far but I’m not very far in

 

Also maybe I have low standards but I only really ever care how games run as it impacts combat and in a turn based game it’s never really an issue that will actually impact my ability to defeat enemies like it would in an action based game so it’s easier to overlook. Others are probably different than me and that’s fair too

 

sword and shield was *fine*
i wish i had bought it on sale instead of paying full price cus it's certainly not worth 60 dollarydoos

 

Swsh is always gonna be underrated because it didn’t look as good as it could have but it was definitely a good game and had a lot to do around and after the game. It added a lot of mechanics that made the game much easier for competitive play and had some really cool characters. All in all, it was fine. I’m just excited and hopeful this game goes further.

The switch pro can’t come sooner lol

 

Sword and shield are infinitely better than their rep

 

The quality of life in SwSh was INSANE, and it sounds like SV is building on that well

I also liked a lot of the mons. The power creep was not my favorite but I think SwSh did a lot of things right that can be explored further in the future

 

I’m worried about tms but hopefully it won’t be too difficult

 

The price was the thing that ultimately bothered me most about SwSh. AAA console price for a game that was on par with its handheld forebears full incensed me.

Yeah the QOL improvements are definitely noteworthy, but almost everything else was extremely unimpressive.

 

Hopefully this version is less glitchy

 

Nah, the reputation for Sword and Shield is deservedly low. It's a mediocre game.

 

i guess the curry cooking minigame was fun

 

Them being profitable is the excuse haha

 

We've known since 3DS that Pokémon games are lacking in the graphics department. It's just so dull and repetitive to bring it up during each new game. It won't change and we all know this. Drowning out dialogue on each drop with the same complaint just kills the vibe.

*Insert 'first time?' gif*

 

Well, maybe they will change it if we talk about it LOUD ENOUGH
