I like Charmander as much as the next large adult baby, but Bulbasaur needs more love.
I'm curious if any of y'all are dorky enough to have a favourite starter, if so, which one? (Obviously Rowlet is the best one so why am I even asking? :stalin-garrison: )
Yeah, Sword and Shield is just.. okay. Like, the wild area is cool, camping is cute and I like some of the new pokemon but it feels so rushed in places.
The gym battles were well presented though. I like that they've been giving the gym leaders more personality the last few gens. Opal was glorious.
Yeah that was the vibe I got from it. It looks rushed. There's no reason why a franchise worth that much money should put out a game that just looks under developed in every review I watched on it. I WANTED to give them money.
Because the video game industry has been fucked into the ground by capitalism.
Pokemon games are on immovable schedules because of toy, show and card releases, so yes capitalism
The battle animations for some of the moves, come on. Cinderace using double kick: just does a quick, poorly animated hop.
It does feel rushed and a bit shallow, compared to past releases. My favorite games are still Soulsilver and Black.
I really like the setting and the environment, though. I think the towns have neat backdrops that make the world feel a bit more full.
I've been watching a lets play of Pokemon Stadium and the animations are so full of personality in that game. It's night and day with the low-effort shit animations in the modern games.
it would help if a lot of the gym leaders didnt look like fully grown children or a ditto trying to look like a human.
heh heh heh yeah
