YO MEE TOOOOOOOO

Thanks I had a stroke and can not use my left side

One of my favorite things about Pokémon Emerald was how many of the new abilities and moves had effects outside of battle! I wish it was taken further. For example; what if pokemon with speed boost, or the move agility allowed you to move faster in the overworld. Maybe shadow sneak or phantom force could turn the player invisible, allowing you to avoid npcs.

legends arceus is overreated and so is open world and breaking the original pokemon design. BW and BW2 were the peak of pokemon and unless they decide to come back to that style (yes, without the stupid open world) pokemon will never be as good as it once was. and, no, how many copies the games sell do not tell how good the games are

I don't want to white knight for Gamefreak, but I feel like scarlet and violet's story (especially Arven's ark) was awesome! Also, there is a metroidvania creature collector! it's called Monster Sanctuary. I haven't played it yet, but it's got great reviews

You know there's a creature collect that has metro-vania style game it's called Monster Sanctuary you should try that.

My comfy game is Red Dead 2, I used to budle up in my blanket in University, make a huge bowl of instant ramen and a jug of tea, and just spend all night enjoying the wild west

Amazing video! I just wanted to point out that the reason Legends Arceus was seemingly thrown aside for Scarlet and Violet is because the Pokemon games are made by two internal teams! :) There's the "A" team that makes core series games, made up of veterans at the company, and the "B" team that has more junior developers and works on remakes, spinoffs, and one-off games like Lets Go and Legends

crfeature collector is hardly a genre if you just turn it into other genres. I like pokemon for the turnbased combat and pretty decent jrpg on top of it, farming and platforming is not in my interest while playing a pokemon game

Didn't realize until halfway through that your channel only has a few hundred subscribers. The production quality was so good, I hope you continue to do good work!

I just watched this whole video and realized you only have 370 subs. Thought this was from a channel with tens of thousands or more, great video!!

WHY DOES THIS VIDEO HAVE ONLY 900 VIEWS. Great video ❤

I think Pokémon is evolving, but in the actual meaning if the word, slowly. And yeah, we would see bigger changes between the games if they were more years apart, for example we would probably have a full open world right away without Wild Area and a segmented open wolrd in PLA. But the changes are happening and I think its great. GF obviously can't take the mainline games that start the generation and scramble their gameplay but thats what Legends are for, and since now we know Legends gonna be its own mainline series we can expect thats where the more experimental mechanics are gonna be, some might transfer to future games, some may not. The succesful things from PLA weren't going to make it into SV because in the 3 year dev cycle, the last couple of months is definitely not the time to implement new big mechanics like catching without battling, especially when most of the development time they had to deal with COVID and we saw what that did to the performance. But I cant wait for gen 10 to see what new they decide to implement. The writing wasn't always the best but I think in gen 9 they nailed it with the character writing and I hope they lean into that more in the future, because i didnt care about side characters like I did about Nemona, Penny, Arven, Kieran and Carmine in any of the previous games, the closest would be N but he's still far behind, and thats only one person

Intresting take, i think they honestly just don't care that much about the games anymore. If you look at the pokemon revenue its only a small portion the series and the merch earn way more. The estimations are that the merch (trading cards included) is around 90% of the revenue (as of the numbers in 2022) mobile games are an other 5%. The games on consoles and the series just have to be good enough to make kids become new pokemon fans and buy the merch. On an other note I think slime rancher does a good version of collecting creatures without the jrpg aspect.

I can't agree with you here. arceus works *BECAUSE* it's a spinoff, the mainline games can't and shouldn't change to the degree you suggest because of how big the competitive scene is. not accessing most of the system isn't important for the kids because they're kids, and those who are more grown up and enjoy the gameplay loop invest time to learn systems impose restrictions and enjoy the game in forms such as nuzlocke and PVP. VGC is an actual E-Sport, with local, national, international and world tournaments held regularly, breaking away too much could very easily kill that industry. Also, Palworld is a fine game I'm not going to bash it to defend pokemon there's no point, but Palworld is a survival game first and a monster collector second, and sure if you like that kind of thing it's a perfectly good game. But Palworld's use of Pals is contrary to the main theme of EVERY Pokémon game, that being you, a child going through a coming-of-age/right-of-passage, forging connections and overcoming through those connections, a force that instead *uses* Pokémon as tools. Palworld's loop is the opposite, the 'haha, what if Pokémon were slave labour' doesn't fit the Pokémon world. to me, the real time battles were the worst part of Arceus, especially the post game djinn hunts. real time interaction and catching was cool, the Dex tasks were cool, but the rest felt.. iffy at best. not to mention Pokémon is one of the few complex consistantly good turn based gameplay loops we have I don't want that taken away. I'd love to see pokemon diversify more, I'd love to see a return to the golden era of spin-offs, but I don't want the mainline games to be forced to become a whole new beast to satisfy old fans that have gotten bored. lastly, small nitpick, but "gotta catch 'em all" was a western tagline, it *wasn't* always part of it.

Great analysis 👍

Pokemon builds a new engine every two years for their games. They refuse to even attempt to optimize. They have more money than god and they refuse to give their devs the time they need to use it. Creatures inc is a sad, awful company.

Algorithm

Pokémon is evolving just fine

As someone born in 93 first game was sonic spinball on my Genesis I don't like the way you said "1996" lol just kidding I know I'm old now great video I agree Arceus was great

The cassette beasts music! 😅

Didn't see this go up! I'm so excited for a new Legends title. Arceus is the best Pokémon game in years. They experimented hard ore for the first time in a while. I think S/V could have been an iteration but even ignoring performance, the basics are so boring. This idea that we can't change pokemon combat because of the kids feels silly.

First of all, how did that got recommended to me UA-cam!? Second, the amount of cope in this video made me cringe. GameFreak is AAA studio, it's owned by Nintedo, has rights to most profitable franchise on this planet, each game - whether it's crap or not - sells in millions of copies. They like to have this image of being small studio, because that let's them pump those yearly releases of crappy, underperforming games that fans will buy each and every time and when finally after Scarlet and Violet they got roasted for their laziness, I get to see video like yours... Small studio? Lack of talent or training? Issues with the technology? Experiment with gameplay? Are you high? They are OWNED by company that released damn console, they have literally backdoor to any engineer that worked on putting Switch into the product you have in your home, hardware and firmware wise. Issue with Pokemon games is always the same, there is no reward structure. If game blows they get millions in profit, if the game is awsome they get millions in profit, so mangement saw that and decided each and every time since Platinum version came out, to slash content, add some of the cut content to DLC, churn out badly designed, unoptimized, ugly and lazy game and rake in the money. People who buy those games are the problem. you are like FIFA fans, you get rekt in your arse and you just ask for more next year. Wake up!

Hit the nail right on the head. Honestly, it sums up why i can't find the same 'je ne sais quoi' in the newer games compared to the older ones. If anything, the newer games have been oversimplifying and upping the hand-holding with each new generation imho.

A really good video, as always! I'm one of the "It holds my hand too often" guys. I know that, at this point in age, I would not be patiente enough to replay some old pokemon games cuz they didn't aged 100% well, but I still rather play something like that instead of the new ones. If you make an open world game, you have to properly make it to show the player that it's a living world... and they didn't delivered with the last ones. Maybe now with he DLC? But, at this point... how much are you wiling to spend to make a bland base game a proper enjoyable one? I never played the Arceus one. A friend let me borrow his copy, but I didn't find the time to play it, but... looks like that one is my kind of game. Keep it up, you're doing an amazing job Cos!

As someone who has played Pokemon since it's release in the west all the way up to the newest games I really really hope Legends Z-A takes all the good stuff from Arceus and improves upon what was lacking, and also as someone who played a lot of JRPG's as a kid like FF7 and Legend of the Dragoon you can absolutely have a mature story in a game and still have it appeal to kids, most kids aren't stupid and will more likely then not pick up what you're putting down.

I think a lot of these reasons pinpoint why I can't get into Pokémon anymore. I played each of the mainline games up until Sun and Moon, but very rarely saw myself to the end of them. Admittedly, part of that might be on me due to a lack of patience or interest or whatever, but I could tell with each iteration, it wasn't going to get better for me. You mention how Pokémon should mature with its audience, and I had that mindset too way back when. But there's a key note you're missing there. Generations. Each one introduces a new era of kids to the franchise, and they're having their minds blown by what's given to them and don't tend to care as much about the bigger picture conpared to us. And as long as the games are appealing to them and selling millions, the Pokémon company feels no reason to change up their strategy, unless they manage to release a game so broken and unacceptable that even they notice, which given the yearly release strategy, wouldn't surprise me. I just don't think I'm the target demographic at this point which may lead you to believe that I just can't get into Nintendo games with whimsical worlds anymore, but no. I really dig the Super Mario RPG remake, because it was simple but did a ton of unique things to make it stand out amongst the Mario lineage with its characters, story, and gameplay. This post was probably very rambly, but that's just how I feel about all of this.

Kids games can have meaningful impactful story for sure, good video dude maybe the newly announced legends will take it up a notch

Happy Pokémon day! Thoughts on legends ZA and how it fits in the narrative of your video?

Team Fight Tatics is good to play with one hand too

I don't find "comfy" games that good, I mean, I feel much more immersed in a world where I would want to avoid conflict where I can and only fight when I can make money out of it, like Outward, a game with no levels or xp, just gear and money. Seeing enemies up ahead on the road, makes you want to find another way or somehow avoid fighting needlessly (As you would in real life) Now.. this game specifically is nothing too special, the graphics are basic and the voice acting is terrible, but the concept of this game is what makes a game feel alive and immersive and that you're not some special hero but just another part of the world like everyone else.

My gaydar tells me you are gay.

Good video but missing once important aspect. One handed gamers tend to want to play a specific game or at least genre which interests them rarely will a COD soldier sit down and think "yeah I want to game, I'll put on Mario kart 8 or pokemon go" If someone's can make a controller to get one hand control both triggers and sticks without repositioning then there's a market for it for sure. I'm trying to make myself a one handed sim racing joy pad but I'm no engineer.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is pretty comfy to be honest here.

I got halfway through the video before I realized this was a small channel. Keep up the Good Work! ☺

*my personal comfort game was Godfather 2 🕵 taking over a Casino, hiring 20 guys to protect it and literally falling asleep IRL while my character chills on the second floor....then waking up 8 hours later and seeing everything wrecked from the multiple wars that happened while I was asleep 💀 and half of my crew in the hospital 😂 Ahhhhh memories* 🌈

I completely agree about SOT, except when I have 3 brigs chasing me after stacking 10 FOTD's in which case it is nothing but stress and fear

I waited 8 minutes in to ensure guild wars 2 got a mention.. shocking it took 8 minutes tho

After watching the video I scrolled down to the comments and was surprised you only have 346 subs. The video is hella good

Man your content is way too good for the amount of views. I would love to learn your process for content making

Another great video, dude!!!!

Stealing treasure relaxes Cosmo. Noted.

Lovely video , perfectly explained that nagging feeling I had in describing that kind of gaming experience , amazed you have so few subscribers . Best of luck with your channel buddy

5:25 LOOK GARY THERE I AM

How are you in my head? Working on something very similar

I enjoyed the entire game!! It's really amazing to see how different are the cozy option to play for different people. Mine are Borderlands 2, Dark Souls 1 and Plant vs Zombies XD It would be nice to have Sea of Thieves as a cozy game, but I find no one to play with... *looking into Cosmo's soul*

Not the faceless old woman!
