I wasn't too impressed with Sw/Sh and I'm seeing a lot of the same complaints and more from capital-G Gamers and normal ass people alike.
Terrible performance, shitty animations (if they exist at all), lackluster open world, no more building interiors, missing features.
Is it even worth dropping $60 on this or is it just another shameful cashgrab? Strongly considering just picking up Legends Arceus as people seemed to really like that game and its fresh mechanics.
Maybe it’s just that I like collectathons but I had the opposite experience. I basically 100%ed it, the only thing I’m missing is a couple of the special 1v1 battles in the post-game
As far as the turn order thing, the system was janky but I wish they had fine tuned it and made it work instead of going back to the way things were. At the very least I sometimes lost battles in Arceus, and when the hell was the last time that’s happened in a standard Pokémon game?
Cynthia in diamond
Woman how the fuck do you have level 60+ mons when everyone else in the elite 4 is using like 55ish, and the victory road pokemon are like 45ish.
Picked up the D/P remake, got all the way to Cynthia, lost to her bullshit fucking piece of shit Garchomp and just never played it again after that
You’re right, the last times were Cynthia in D/P/Pl and May on the bridge from Slateport to Mauville when her Grovyle would murder my Marshtomp
But also that was almost 15 years ago :doomjak:
Edit: Oh god I underestimated
Yeah diamond was 15 years ago, emerald was almost 20
Yep. Ruby was my first Pokémon game and 3 days from now will be the 20th anniversary of its release.
:scared:
Like 12 years ago in gen 5 maybe? Ghetsis and Iris were fuckin' brutal
