So pokemon Go 2.0, wow this looks really bad and I understand this is for kids but it almost has a pre school thing to it and nothing for the older fans.
Are you kidding me?
Even though the gameplay didn't age well at all, I miss the simplicity of Gen 1. Didn't have to worry about natures, shinies, eevee and ivy training, time of day / day of week / time locked events, seasons affecting captures and evolutions, having to find in-game places with natural weather to trip an evolution, having to turn the console upside down to make an evolution happen? Having to deal with wild encounters with infinite PP, trainers with infinite items... the ungodly pursuit to try and get Shinies because that's the only way to get trades to complete anymore?
Yes, I will agree, I could do without the incessant tie-ins to Pokemon Go. But the fact that I can take my favorite with me in the pokeball controller off-game and still be able to attend to them? To be able to hear its coos and cries interacting with it via the pokeball?
It reminded me of my better times with Gen 1, where I had a Jolteon that not only carried me through the Elite 4 of Kanto, but through about 80% of Pokemon Stadium on N64,
and handed the Mewtwo boss its butt on a plate. And how happy I was to find out it was a female. Of course I'd want to relive that part of it again.
Being able to have your entourage follow you in-game? I've been wanting that since Pokemon Yellow, for crying out loud. And none of the aggravation of Gen 2 or Gen 4. Presumably with the typing rules of Gen 7, seeing as Pokemon Go does recognize fairy type is a thing.
If you want to talk about a game that did nothing for the older fans, look no further than Detective Pikachu. That game just beats you over the head numb with its assertion of being "for the kids".
