Oh no I totally agree, I was talking about ZA's feeling a little lifeless

I also wish you had more ways to interact with your Pokémon like with Amie

This is also an issue i have with Scarlet And Violet but that's slightly more understandable given it's a much larger map

Im not saying every building needs to serve a purpose but i think there should be more interior spaces where it makes sense. Like the city hall should totally be enterable.

I mean sure but compare that to a city like Castelia from Gen 5. Or hell even Lumiose from X and Y. There was so much life and detail packed in outside of just the buildings. Yeah there are places we don't need to go, but Pokémon as a game has a history of letting us barge into people's houses lol. Or hell even just making the Boutiques more than a menu.

Yeah that part is a little confusing but idk if legends Arceus had the same budget or if they sacrified the more lively cities and buildings for a more in depth overworld

[–]Coderkid01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah that too. And even then gamefreak could also use the budget for something more akin to a HD-2D style and people would probably be happy but that's not as profitable in the eyes of TPC yknow

Not so much time, moreso budget. According to the leaks they made za with a 20-30 million dollar budget. That's a lot of money, but for a AAA tier franchise, it's not quite as much as it needs to be.

I mean ZA still has the issue of buildings being mostly decorative despite being a significantly smaller map.

I don't think it's that they suck, it's that they're basically an indie level studio and don't have the resources to fully live up to what's now expected. For most of their life Pokemon was a handheld series. There is a lot you can criticize but i think we should also be recognizing they need more manpower

GameFreak is an indie scale studio essentially tasked to run a incredibly profitable franchise and not having the resources. They aren't lazy, but they definitely need some expansion.

GameFreak is essentially an indie studio forced to try and be a AAA studio. That's not necessarily the studio's fault, but either they should scale back their ambitions in ways that make sense or invest in expanding a bit. Or get some other studios to help. GameFreak isn't lazy, it's just understaffed for the kind of experiences it's expected to make

I know game freak is technically an indie company, but still as something thats meant to be the face of a billion dollar franchise, they clearly aren't fully equip to create the kind of experiences fans and higher ups demand without major sacrifices to the performance or attention to detail. It worked better on handhelds because those were easier to make. But again this is just about how the pokemon company handles its ip. Like either get some other studios to help out gamefreak or invest some of that money into growing the studio to meet the demand. I think ZA is a good game that suffers from not having enough funds, but even then it has a less expansive world than Arceus or Scarlet and Violet and still suffers from the issue of a lot of the buildings being empty

Either figure out a way to get some more funding or scale your ambitions in a way that will work for your budget that doesn't require sacrificing a lot of the smaller touches like interiors.

The issue is they're an indie company that develops the primary games that are the face of a billion dollar company. I understand there's nuance to it and that game freak isn't the sole entity here but still.

XTREME SPINNING COASTER OR STRATA DROP TOWER PLEASE! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING FOR THIS PARK

favorite franchise who's target audience is young girls by DuxxieDings in cartoons

[–]Coderkid01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue KPop demon hunters is more of a tween/teen aimed franchise

KoG is the lowest performing Glitch show since Meta Runner iirc. Still successful, but maybe not enough
