I've noticed that Pokemon is becoming a horrible game, I basically had to force myself to play Sun/Ultra just to collect and breed my old ones to get the generation + symbol, I noticed that I barely finished Sun and just got all the Pokemon through tgs and bred all of them then abruptly stopped. I did finish Ultra but that one is just as bad.I don't know what it is but they're messing up the formula.
It's very reminiscent of the Final Fantasy series to me. Once Final Fantasy 9 was done the games were no longer the same, sure FF10 is a lot of people's favorite because of the cinematic style and full voice acting and emotions but as soon as that was done Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire took over as the king of rpgs. Again FFX changed the formula and it's been for the worse and has never recovered. To me i see Pokemon is headed down that path.
maybe it's an oversimplification of things that's ruining it maybe it's something else, too much hand holding, too many tutorials, too many forced mini games that aren't fun. Did anyone notice that it takes nearly three hours to reach the first Pokemon center? It takes 3 hrs to get two badges in Pokemon silver... Maybe it's the 3d style or the narrow walking paths, the easy battle system etc. IDK what it is but it's getting worse. Pokemon Sun holds your hand through the entire game and after game.
on to Pokemon Switch rumors, I believe there was a quote that said they don't want to go back to the old style of up and down and wanted to do the 3d style which is fine but integrating it with Pokemon go? that sounds like a disaster, ride Pokemon was friggen annoying too. Just give me my damn bike and skates or sneak mechanic and my item finder, I don't want to ride on a stupid Taurus or Lillipup, I don't mind them getting rid of of hm but they made it worse and far more annoying.. And for the catching mechanic they're gonna add a Pokemon go flicking mini game to it which spells disaster, either it's gonna be too easy or too hard. If anyone remembers the original red/blue you were lucky to catch mewtwo with less than 99 ultraballs and he was paralyzed and sleep... in Pokemon at with full powers capture you could catch meet so with a premiere ball in the first throw... Why hold your hands so much of the game is gonna be easy af, I know for a fact i didn't have to use a single potion or heal item in the sun moon series
They're are also rumors of the battle system turning into a paper rock scissors type mini game. Again this is comparable to Final Fantasy that all complicated strategy gets lost for more simple better looking animations. In FF15 all I did was good down the warp button and everything for smashed to bits, it wasn't even a challenge, I suspect the same for Pokemon too.
Hopefully when we get our hands on it the older players will be happy with it, and if not... Hopefully Square Enix can take back the mantle of making the most enjoyable rpgs with the release of Octopath Travel or coming out July 13.
