- With the awful way the latest mainline games in the series were handled and their middling reception among fans, is there hope for the franchise in the future? Are the new announcements enough?

I've come to the conclusion that even after everything ceases to exist, we'll still get brand-new Pokemon Cafe Mix updates
Necrozma update after the heat death of the universe

3:11 "Scarlet and Violet would be the last thing I ever buy from them until they showed signs of improving." That's exactly how I feel about the franchise at this point. It's sad cause Pokemon has so much potential to be amazing.
Annoyingly, the fact that I loved Legends was what conned me into thinking SV would be better than SwSh. Truthfully, the characters and story are great, but everything gameplay-related is awful. I'm done with mainline. Might make an exception for Legends if they keep being good
It is amazing if I play for the lore and the story and other reasons
@@kyokkyuucharacters and story are all u need
@@kyokkyuu U guys see Pokémon as a game or any other series that’s either good or bad but it’s not that it’s more than that
It’s a culture and a lifestyle a living breathing world with a story and lore and characters
We form parasocial relationships with these fictional animals because we love them so much and they have so much personality and backstory
their dev time is 3-6 actually u just don’t feel it cuz they work on multiple projects simultaneously with the budget of a Disney channel movie around 15-20mil and they have to balance game release with the anime and the cards
Everyone can say pokemon should be like Zelda or xenoblade but those games don’t have an anime and a tcg they have to abide by it’s like jenga
Also they do make decisions dictated by the competitive scene
And they may or may not share resources that part I’m unsure of
Hot take:
the point of Pokémon is to appeal to the widest audience possible and that there’s something for everyone from mainline to the anime to the spin offs
Well maybe if people got into the other avenues of the franchise rather than solely the games u wouldn’t be disappointed
Since the series was designed to be symbiotic with itself and to experience every avenue together for a complete experience
U guys need to reevaluate ur priorities Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant
People are too focused on superficial nonsense
let’s be real u didn’t get into the original games for the graphics
And If u didn’t play games for the graphics as a kid then why would u play them for the graphics now
Sorry u forgot what the point of Pokémon was to begin with
Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs
If
The lore was good
The writing was good
The music was good
The vibes were good
The messages were good
The character designs were good
That’s all you really need
The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else
The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe
People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t
And something that doesn’t fit its style
Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic
If its not ur thing just move on imo
They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way

Calling pokemon “lazy” is lazy they got more to do than most devs they make two games and have to be symbiotic with the rest of the series and all this other stuff
They can’t delay the game they have a symbiotic release system
The games are leashed to the anime,tcg,etc and the anime,tcg etc is leashed to the games
Tpc is constantly playing a game of jenga trying to balance each of its branches
The games are in development for 3-6 years we just don’t feel it because a lot of times they work on multiple generations at the same time they have two teams the games have a 15-20 million dollar budget
They probably share resources
Maybe about the sharing idk
They have been working on Gen 10 for a few years now

Can’t believe people still care about that frame stuff
I’m sorry people got so lost and brainwashed by the superficialities of the industry you forgot what Pokémon was originally about
And I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues
Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters
What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things?
Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised
Was friendship magic?
Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures?
Ok then it’s a good game
Those are what’s important to Pokémon
As the og theme said
Pokémon is about
Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend
I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside
Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through
you teach me and I teach you”
That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end
Then that’s a strong enough ending for me
Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that
Performance graphics those things never Mattered
You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64
The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship
The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games
And it’s about time you all understand that by now
They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime
The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga
If you move one thing it all falls apart
They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that
Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games
they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up
Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good
You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get
Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient
Assuming we get more open world games
NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic
Probably turned it upside down
And before u say just delay the game
They can’t delay the game

The games and the anime and tcg are all beholden to each other
You can’t move one without ruining the groove
Unless you one gen 10 game to come out years after the gen 10 anime and have it spoiled
There is a symbiosis there
When you watch the anime it makes u wanna play the game and vice versa so they are companion pieces designed to be experienced together for a complete experience
They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that
@@madnessarcade7447 Bruh, that's *LITERALLY* the *LONGEST* comment i've *ever* seen on this entire platform.

people said that happened after gen 5. Gens 6 and 7 are more of a silver/bronze age if you ask me before things plunged into the dark age
@@madnessarcade7447Gee, It’s almost like if they didn’t cut corners and actually hired more workers to help on the project, we wouldn’t be complaining so much. (It’s not that deep).
Gen 7 was GREAT
At the end of the day its difficulty for me. If they literally just made a game mode that was signifigantly more challenging the games would be a lot more fun.
real. If not for difficulty in the base game, then at least throw in a challenge mode
step one: making the EXP Share optional again. it wouldn't solve everything, but i might at least care to engage with enemy trainers if i weren't already wildly overleveled without them
@@banzaimarten9114 would you believe me if i said i havent battled any pokemon trainers in sv AT ALL when i fased the first gym leader is was alr lvl25 on all pokemon
if you want a hard difficulty in a Pokemon game...then why are you playing Pokemon lol. just play any other JRPG, or Pokemon romhacks. Game Freak never intended for the Pokemon games they create to ever be "hard" in the first place
SV were decently difficult at least. Geetas glimmora gave me a pretty hard time.
i'm cautiously optimistic for Z-A, with heavy emphasis on "cautiously." Arceus wasn't the greatest, it loses a little more luster every time i think back on it, but for the first time in about a decade i was having *fun* with a Pokemon game.
hopefully that 2025 release date doesn't mean *January* 2025 so this can bake for as long as it needs
With Legends Arceus, they did specify early 2022 when it was announced (presumably because they already knew Scarlet and Violet were scheduled for the holidays). I'd be shocked if this came out sooner than summer at the earliest
I definitely don't regret quitting the franchise after Ultra Sun and Moon. The Switch era has been sad.
Other than LA everything sucked, and LA was monotonous and not very intuitive at all. We are literally begging pokemon for more than scraps every gen and getting progressively less each time.
The part that annoys me about USUM is that it was packed with the fun fluff that *should’ve* been in SM, like surfing
Don't worry, Legends Z-A is going to be another painfully okay financial success that will paywall more evolution methods for what will probably be gen 10 comp beasts.
Stop buying these games. Break the cycle. You'll feel so much better.
comp Pokemon is a joke anyway. god forbid we get a new Pokemon ever again if paywalls are what you are complaining about.
@@Unrruly no, I'm talking about DLC and these side-games. Take the issue of box legends being limited to the game and 1 per save file, and apply that to an evolution method. You cannot obtain Kleavor in SV by evolving Scyther with the Black Augurite-no, you need Legends Arceus to evolve it OR but the DLC to catch a wild Kleavor
How Palworld will manage to be competition otherwise
"paywall more evolution methods" behind what? legends arceus didn't have paid DLC. i don't see why legends ZA would either
@@afro025 Did you not read my other comment? The game IS the paywall. You cannot evolve Scyther into Kleavor without owning Legends Arceus. Same or Ursaluna and Wyrdeer, but not for Overqwil for some reason despite having a very similar evolution method as Wyrdeer. If you want to obtain Kleavor, it exists behind two paywalls: PLA, and the SV DLC. It's one thing to not obtain a Pokémon, but it's another to not let it evolve despite these games being more than able to allow it

Credit where it's due, they fixed her team in the Indigo disk, and actually gave her a brain by making her send Glimmora 1st and KingAmbit last.
I mean, yeah, it's something locked behind DLC, and makes her a liar by saying she couldn't hold back the 1st time you fought her. But eh, better late than never I guess
I love it when a billion dollar franchise makes me pay 1.5x more than a good AAA game title to have an experience that isn’t dogwater 😍😍😍
They could've easily just updated the game around the same time as Indigo Disk released to make her first fight harder and fix it, but nope, instead you have to buy a DLC for the champion to actually be somewhat challenging.
Still has that stupid Avalugg though...
I’m playing Pokemon Unbound and all I could think is how I’d rather pick up my phone and play that rather than my switch. Gamefreak dumbed down the games so hard it’s actually insulting to kids.
You ever play Pokémon Clover ?
@@perdurabo56 No not yet I’m just diving into the roms but if it can unexpectedly kick my ass then I’ll give it a go. I’m interested in trying nuzlockes but I’m not sure which ones have the customization options for that.
They say you can challenge the Gyms, Titan Pokémon & Team Star Bosses in any order, but since there’s no level scaling, there’s a very clear order that you have to follow otherwise you’ll either be too under-levelled or to over-levelled to face the next plot point, so there’s a very clear order in which to beat the game.
It’s just the “illusion” of open world - yes you can explore the world however you want, but wild Pokémon are also not level scaled so if you wander too far you’ll be hopelessly outmatched unable to beat or catch any wild Pokémon.
The trainers all have 1 Pokémon which makes each fight an absolute cakewalk, there’s no surprise trainers with good teams that push you a little, the only thing that interested me was exploring the new region, which was also bad just coz of how bad the game looks & performs! It’s also completely barebones, towns have 2 building s you can enter, sandwich shops and the Gym, don’t even bother entering Clothes shops because you can’t change your uniform, all you get are hats, glasses, shoes & gloves - none of which match your uniform, so even if you tried to stylise, you’d just look like someone with no fashion sense, it’s literally a downgrade from X&Y from the 3DS era!
Having areas w higher leveled pokemon is actually, to me, a good thing? It acts like a natural barrier, for example other games that are open world have harder or tangier enemies in some areas, to also serve this purpose (take Skyrim, for example)
But like you said,, there’s no level scaling so,, you just run over the rest,, I just want to make the point that getting to an area too under leveled isn’t really a bad thing on it’s own? GF, like w most things, just messed up the execution
We have gone down hill so bad after gen 6.. specially after getting into the Nintendo switch generation
Man I just want more games like Black and White. Now it's all empty open worlds full of glitches and laziness.
@@xeonbeast9948 who knows we might get lucky and get a remaster of an older Pokemon in the style of octopath Traveler
@@xeonbeast9948bw2 was the climax for me in terms of content and pokemon variety. I feel like the way bw1 only gave you unova pokemon until the post-game was super lame
@@loserssuite I'm a bit biased since BW was my first game but both BW and BW2 felt like the best game the DS had to offer. A good story with a big region full of stuff to explore. And the pixel art style was pushed to its best.
@@xeonbeast9948 you are not biased, bw2 really IS the best DS game we ever got, it literally pushed the DS to its limits with its graphics, animations, story, post game content and soundtracks. i mean just see the cutscenes everyone will think its a 3DS game instead of a DS game
The fact that they are willing to slow down the game release treadmill to let the devs cook
has me cautiously optimistic,
it would be funny if, after the gen 6 games marked the start of the quality drop ,
A gen 6 revisit game would then mark a rise in quality (heres hoping/coping)
This is exactly where I stand! I was so excited for Scarlet/Violet, and I must admit there are some good stories. But the games were buggy, half baked, not optimized for the console they were made for.
Teal Mask had an interesting story so it pulled me back and I played the main story then stopped.
I started the Indigo Disk, realized it was more of the same, stopped after 5 minutes
Also, I still think Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu was peak pokemon graphics. It doesn’t need to be any more realistic. Chibi, top down, with beautiful towns and environment
‘Team Rocket filing their taxes-“ 💀 literally had me so triggered as I had just filed my taxes on tax day with a couple hours left 😭
Cafe Remix is being made by the studio that made Collosseum/XD/Battle Revoulution. Let that sink in.
When Creatures is allowed to shine they shine bright
Iirc all of the Pokemon models in gen 6 were made by creatures and were capable of being used in HD in order to be future proofed for 10 years. That's partly why 3DS emulator upscaling looks so good with Pokémon
I invested so much time and hours into Legends more than Scarlet & Violet. I will continue to support the Legends series because it’s the only Pokémon game that looks and feels like GameFreak is actually putting in effort to make a good Pokémon game visually, and somewhat graphically. I’m very excited for ZA. I hope we get to hear more of the story of Old man AZ and his friend Pokémon Floette. I want to know more about Zygarde’s final form and the story around the legendary Pokémon. Also, hopefully they create an event for Old Man AZ’s Floette. What are your thoughts?😭🔥🔥🔥 I will be replaying Pokémon X & Y until the release of Z! So much nostalgia! Also, I hope they bring back Shiny Mega Gengar as an event!
It gets even better with Go. Avatar look like Sunbleached chungas
They said they made the update to make women feel included but every single woman that's playing pokemon go says it's ugly
You know we let them go too far when a sleep app has microtransactions
So much of what you said in the video is what I’ve been thinking for so long about where Pokémon is currently at. There’s a glimmer of hope with Legends ZA and I think it’s going to make or break if the skeptical fans are going to continue to support the franchise. Great points in the video and very well edited, keep up the good work!!
It’s possible that the reason why the release date is set to next year is because Nintendo might’ve told Japanese Bethesda to make it a launch title for the next gen switch.
For all we know, it was already “finished”. Hopefully I’m wrong here but you never truly know..
At least with live instead of online you can play tcg on a mobile device now. Never understood why online required like a 7" screen to run the app. I also feel like live crashes less but it's still buggy as all hell
Legends was fun, but in like a checklist sorting kind of way. I mean I like that but I have a buddies who just did the story and left because they weren’t there to checklist the whole pokedex
I saw it somewhere, maybe arlo.
But the idea is they aren't releasing in 25 for quality purposes, they're releasing it in 25 for switch 2 purposes.
There is something about the logo I haven't heard anyone else talking about so I don't know if other people have noticed but if you remove the "Z" and the "-" from the Z-A logo, the "A" your left with clearly isn't an A, but it is actually a letter. It's Lambda. Specifically uppercase Lambda. Which is a letter of the GREEK ALPHABET. Y'know, like Omega? and Alpha? And Delta?
So...Primal Aura Trio?
It can be that or you are just overthinking about it haha, but it make sense tho maybe we can see a different form of xernias yveltal and zygarde
Game freak develops 3 games at a time in 3 teams. Team a, b and c. So gen 10 sadly might still be in rushed development along with chibi black and white. Don't mind me i just can't be optimistic anymore when it comes to the pokemon company...
Wait a minute, isnt that the old ex set card logo from sets like EX Sandstorm around the 2000s. I haven't seen anyone else notice or talk about this. It might be something or just nothing.
Unrelated, but I feel like you isolated the A in the thumbnail a bit more.
Still a decent video.
The true value of pokemon go is it's place as the closest thing we'll probably ever have to a pokemon mmo where you can actually 'catch em all' without buying into dlc. Also megas. I just wish they'd work on the overall quality of the experience.
going off your beard analogy gamefreak as been gave us slightly different bread over the years and scarlet and violet was different but it was under baked so if they give more time then we could get some special
They'd probably market it as Pokémon Brilliant Bread and Shining Dough💀
But i get what you mean
Here from the future, Pokemon Legends Z-A was alright
I skipped LA cause i assumed it was a playtest for the future gameplay and got Scarlet thinking it would be the sequel gamewise. Iv been bamboozled and not sure if i should buy the Za. And it woud be neat if the game finds a way to involve Zacian and Zamazenta
Man heart gold and soul silver were awesome. Does anybody remember the poke walker? My buddy and I both had opposite versions of the game in elementary school and would sit at lunch and in clasd shake our poke walkers
I can't believe they didn't do something similar with pokemon go
i think the worst part is assuming Z-A is using the Arceus formula nor does it utilize any larger gameplay mechanics within the game itself, it wouldn't even have any VGC exposure. it probably wouldn't help that technically the Scarlet/Violet DLC finished in december 2023 (not counting Pecharunt's story), the main franchise won't actually get any new material until the generation 10 games comes out in like 2 years. unless they're able to patch in Megas and pokemon introduced in Z-A, everyone is essentially starved. like christ, BDSP introduced no new elements from legends arceus nor did it utilize anything like...Kleavor, Ursaluna, Voltorb, Growlithe, Overquil. the only mild divergence is plopping in the fairy type since that's expected from the franchise, and the obligatory legendary medley. (which had to be patched in. presumably because it stepped over filesize cart limits, or had to ship the games out to make Christmas)
Might be doubly so if Z-A releases before Pokemon Day 2025, and they just happened to reveal generation 10. i'd assume that Z-A would be kind of an experiment with tandem Switch and Switch 2 compatibility, but clocks down slightly to maintain compatibility on local wireless/internet. December 2023 to November 2025 is kinda rough. Legends Arceus' elements was mostly used in GO, the TCG and a few special episodes in the anime which was mostly filler, with no lasting stakes or status quo changes that matter. think the content from those games was staggered either because of the base pokemon not being in the base SV or because of HOME compatibility.
I feel like supporting the new legends game is good, it’s a slow but definite change in the right direction.
The mainline switch games are another story..
Glad i skipped Scarlet and Violet, hopefully they cook good for this next gen. 🙏🏿
*They'll burn the house down.*
You know it’s in a sad state when I load up Pokémon Shield, think “oh yeah I kinda liked this more than SV”, and then remember how hollow SwSh felt compared to ORAS
The anime is pretty good (Pokémon horizons) however the games on the other hand aren’t good they really need to push the development cycle to once every year to once every 2 years or maybe even 3 if they can make the game good enough
let's go Maril and larvetar would go so hard fr
They really have to put in a ton of development into this I’m talking insomniac level
Only good pokemon stuff is rom hacks. If you want a great one play Pokémon clover. More polished with more care put into than the last 3 main Pokémon games
I hope all this time in the overn makes ZA good.
I was waiting for aJohto or Unova remake, but hey, if they come out for a future console, the better for me.
I wonder if Volo will return.
i must say, after hardly playing scarlet after paying 80$ za will be my latst straw for any more purchases. i feel scalped every time i buy pokemon games
Games started declining after the 3ds Pokémon games
i read it as pokemon legends Z Alpha
as in This game is both begining and end of the alphabet
No it won't.
i kinda agree the dlc 1 was good but i also lost all interest in dlc 2 i barely even walked into the terarium and stopped playing and ive never once incompleted a pokemon title. something about earning minimal bbq points while playing solo, the lack of any battle facility and shiny locking everything just axed all hype for me
(maybe the build up of every pkmn game getting slightly worse with every switch entry finally collapsed)
The anime has lost all quality with Horizons nowadays as well, though I don't really mind, we finished Ash's journey perfectly and that's what matters to me
I stopped watching the anime after XYZ, I watched a couple of episodes from Horizons, thought it was mediocre and moved on.
Also good to know that the english dub of the anime is still episodes behind the japanese version and still butchers the english dub by editing out the original Japanese music.
@@piranhalettuce You're missing out with SM and Journeys. That's the peak of the franchise. Definitely recommend. But yeah, Horizons is disappointing. Hope the next series after it is more interesting.
Gotta disagree tbh, the english dub for pokemon is really amazing and the music changes they make are pretty awesome.
I just been playing the older games on emulators and been having a blast because they’re able to give you an easier to tailor experience with all the rom hacks and cheats available
I mean… if they keep dropping half baked games… eventually they have to release a fully cared for game right? It’s like they keep baking the same cake it’s just taking a long time?
When the half-baked cake is sill making them billions, why would they try to improve? GameFreak has learned that they can keep making bank by putting in minimal effort ever since Sword and Shield.
@@HimekoIzayoiwell a broken clock is right twice a day
It would be cool if pokemon does a turn based rpg based on strategy board games like chess, checkers, shogi, etc.
I genuinely REFUSED to buy Scarlet or Violet. The game was so buggy and broken on launch... It was clearly rushed, and yet it somehow broke sales records (or so I've heard). I don't want to support buggy unfinished crap. This is NOT the kind of quality I would expect from the highest grossing franchise in the world. It kind of sucks to be a Pokemon fan these days. :(
I have high hopes for Z-A though. Pokemon XY was my first actual Pokemon game, so I really hope they get this right.
Im scared legends za will have scarlet/ violet art style though
pokemon za because of the character named Az from that region and time.
My playthrough of pokémon Violet was probably the best anyone could ever have because I had no glitches to be seen. Maybe I was blessed with the power of no glitches. Who knows, but I'm probably just ranting.
a team rocket game corner money laundering simulator would be hilarious though
I actually really want a Let’s Go Johto game. I had so much fun playing through LGPE with my wife, I just want them to make another 2 player game that I can enjoy with my wife. Also mega evolution
Well unfortunatly, it still sells a shit ton sooooo... Pokemon as a franchise isn't going anywhere, if anything it can only gets worse and worse.
wyrdeer and ursaluna are in scarlet and violet...
Looked it up. You have to transfer it.
Pokemon is one of the few games where the fandom is actually happy when ganes take longer to come out to the point they are glad a final release date isn't shown.
I just want a game that isn't a buggy mess, I want to be able to buy something that's complete. Not even nessisarily talking about pokemon, my experience so far with XBox and PS are the same. It's a mess and the users on the end are being shafted.
Pokemon ZA, we(hopefully) smokin on some good shi come to 2025
RAIKOU IS A CAT
With all these shitty non main game they spent thier money on they can give us such a better main game is crazy.
This is why they need and actual pokemon MMO!
Bread! Bro they literally gave us SANDWICHES
But no you're right. It's ok but honestly kinda dull in hindsight
The whole "you must respect TPC no matter what because otherwise you hate all the effort those overworked programmers put into it >:(" copery is especially ridiculous. I honestly believe at least half of those people are just bots. Zero doubt in my mind that every major game company sources bot comments and twitter posts to SOME degree.
You can have standards. It is OKAY to have standards. Pokemon is the HIGHEST GROSSING MEDIA FRANCHISE TO EVER EXIST AND THEY ARE STILL USING TINY TEAMS IN ORDER TO STUFF THEIR POCKETS WITH MOUNTAINS OF CASH AT THE TOP DUE TO ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS MERCHANDISING. *small indie studio prease undastando*
That's more revenue than Star Wars and the MCU *combined* btw.
The bread is a good analogy, because I really like bread.
I wouldn't call SV bread though. More like... They tried pivoting to jam doughnuts, and used a modified bread recipe, and it was a bit undercooked.
Btw new Pokemon designs are kinda garbage. Idk when they changed artists but they have to go back
I get the feeling you just don't like new pokemon and that's fine i myself don't like current pokemon but jesus i've never seen someone spend half a video crying about an artstyle for a game they don't even play
Brother he talked about the art style for 20 seconds
I can’t tell if I really like or really hate this guy’s style of video for that reason
If Pokemon can be transferred to and from past/future games, it is a mainline game. Only games where Pokemon are stuck in the game they appear in are spin offs. Are people really confused about this? Of course Let's Go and Legends are mainline games. It should have never been a question to begin with.
I honestly like scarlet/violet. Performance issues, bad. Rest of the game, really good imo.
The performance issues aren't even there anymore. They've all been long since patched out.
The glitches really only affected people who binged the game on day 1. Most of us just saw them on youtube
@@babysinclairfan The performance issues are very much there. Go walk through Kitakami's grassy areas and it'll be soooooo laggy.
Really good? You think it’s really good? You must have low standards. You only get one life, why waste it playing mediocre garbage? I’d argue there hasn’t been a good Pokemon game since BW2.
@@perdurabo56 terrastilization looks goofy but it's gotten me into competitive VGC and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Like "oh you have a gigachad electric type? Let me change my Kyogre into a grass type, take minimal damage, and demolish you with a modest nature, max EV, holding mystic water, helping hand boosted water spout in the rain."
Yeah.. Pokemon lately really has felt like half baked bread
*Me listening to this while I play the superior pokemon game, pokemon reloaded
Underrated channel ngl.
I have zero faith in Nintendo or Game Freak, especially the latter. So, I have zero reason to believe that Z-A will be even just good.
That Pokemon Za hitting
There are countless spinoffs they could create that would be fun. Sadly, Nintendo and the Pokémon company are creatively bankrupt.
I think that Pokemon shouldn't just focus on 8 year olds and should also consider that most of the community is probably over 16.
Honestly been more busy with playing the older titles and have been extremely busy with PalWorld.
I find it a bit amusing that there isn't that much pessimism with Pokemon Legends Z cause they didn't show actual gameplay footage.
Cause you can tell that the Nintendo fandom will take all the abuse from Nintendo, but will never have the gall to actually fight back and boycott Nintendo entirely.
Pokemon legends Giovanni’s tax evasion.
it's too early to get excited imo
At least we got the TCG
Yum I am so full of bread 🐉
I'd love a game about team rocket
Pokemon legends zaza
Legends arceus and scarlet violet outside the glitches were great and im tired of acting like its not.
Agreed. Honestly I was pessimistic so I avoided scarlet/violet (said after sword and shield I was done), and avoided watching any content on it for a year.... eventually gave in, and loved it.
Didnt even encounter any bugs/glitches during my playthrough, which I attribute to playing so late.
Even actually finished the pokedex this time. Never did that for any other game.
Gameplay loop SV is good but that’s just because it’s the standard Pokémon gameplay loop we’ve had forever, but much easier to grind resources
The graphics alone prevent them from being great. Game freaks pokemon games look like 2005 Nintendo quality. It's not much to ask that the richest franchise spends a little on graphics.
I skipped gen 9 due to its many issues, so I haven't been hyped for a Pokemon game since Legends Arceus. All I can say is, Legends ZA cannot fail
14:57
Pokemon Legends
Zaza
This is so cringe at this point, thinking they are even listening to us. Sheesh
Face it, you’re gonna buy the game whether it’s good or not. SV sold almost 25 mil copies and whether you think it’s good or bad, that’s way too big, and considering it’s only outclassed by a relatively small margin compared to SWSH, which was also considered not that great, I really get tired of people saying that the franchise is doomed. A billion per total sales of each game shows that either Pokémon games aren’t actually that bad, or we’re hypocrites or damn gullible. There’s no way 25 million people get trolled like that
back away from the mic, please. Just look at some videos on how to fix your audio. (mouth noises)
Fuck you I didn’t notice it until
You mentioned it 😂😂😂😂😂
You know I was 5 minutes in and didn’t even notice until I read this then I heard EVERY SINGLE ONE lol
Pokémon legends Zaza 😙💨
My predict, this game will be released as a broken game with many issues like Scarlet and Violet had.
Bread
Yeah I’m just boycotting Pokémon ngl
Same
Me too. Everyone should if they actually want to see the mainline games get better
Sigh same fucking talking points. Pretty irrelevant now since the switch era of games have been the highest selling. Almost as if everyone is full of shit. And I know someone will say pal world but no one talks about pal world anymore. People have this weird expectation for the series that no other Nintendo franchise gets except for Zelda. To the point where I don’t even know what people want anymore. I think Fans need to reevaluate what they want from the franchise because fan games aren’t it.
Quantity > quality tpc thinks
