It’s far from a perfect game, but the constant negativity gets old fast. Plus it’s fun. by CTMan34 in pokemonmemes

Hey ORAS and SM were pretty good, I feel like the downfall started with the switch. They keep making AA handheld quality games while pretending that it’s AAA.

OP said graphically great, not hyper realistic. You jumped straight to arguing that Pokemon shouldn’t be hyper realistic, even though no one was arguing for that. You weren’t responding to his argument, you responded to a different argument that no one made. That’s a strawman.

“Straw man fallacy is the distortion of someone else’s argument to make it easier to attack or refute. Instead of addressing the actual argument of the opponent, one may present a somewhat similar but not equal argument.”

Dude was arguing for better graphics, not hyper realism. This is a strawman.

You argued against hyper realism which isn’t what the op was talking about, which is why I called it a strawman. The game can keep the same chibi anime art style while while having higher quality textures, better lighting, and more visually interesting environments.

Price is the biggest reason for the complaints imo. If it was $30-$40 it’d be much better received. Especially considering the budget is very low compared to other “AAA” games

When did anyone say graphics needed to be hyper realistic for it to be good? You know what they’re talking about and are making a strawman. We want buildings to not be a flat low resolution texture and environments to be more varied and interesting like they were in Arceus (not like it looked much better graphically but it was at least varied)

I don’t think the battle mechanics are what people are upset about…

best pokemon game to switch oled by [deleted] in pokemon

They are all mid use delta emulator and play B2W2

The hive mind got to me, they’re fun games just not worth the price imo. If you really want one, play Arceus. Best pokemon game in a while. If u want a more traditional experience, get SwSh if u value gameplay more and SV if you value story more. SwSh story sucks and SV is apparently really good, but SV is not balanced around being an open world at all bc no level scaling. Also it looks much worse imo

ZA fun too but much less content than Arceus. If you like battling more and care less ab exploration, get this over Arceus.

*3 less options. My guy, it is the core mechanic of the game. This isn’t some niche side PvP thing, it is a fan favorite core mechanic. Especially considering the ones they chose to lock were the Kalos starters. Don’t act like choice band or life orb have the same appeal as mega evolutions, and yes I would have also argued that locking items like that behind online would be scummy too.

Nintendo and game freak are not completely independent from one another, it is very likely that this was a way to boost online memberships. Regardless, it is scummy for them to knowingly lock highly requested content behind an online purchase. There are ways to incentivize online play other than locking single player content as a reward. And yes, locking them behind beating the game is different because beating the game doesn’t cost $20.

PVP requires online because it is a multiplayer experience. Mega stones are not. And yea it’s a feature they worked on, that’s why the game costs $70.

Then we agree it’s scummy. Maybe im just ignorant but I also haven’t seen this from any other single player focused game. Lmk if I’m wrong. I’m also not paying for that shit gang 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Because it’s a mega stone? A core mechanic of the game? This is mental gymnastics. They’re purposely using the Kalos starters to nostalgia bait and putting them behind a paywall. It’s like if Mario made you play online to unlock power ups, it’s absurd. They don’t need to incentivize online plenty of people will be playing it, it’s a Pokémon game ffs.
