    i truly think generation 10 will be THE pokémon game that all of us have been thinking of since PLA. it seems that while all of gamefreak was going with the open-world idea, the B team did alot of improvements that from the looks of it, we'll have to wait another generation until they come to mainline

    I didn't mind the multiple turns mechanic in Legends Arceus, it just needed to be fine tuned. Make it dependent on the Pokemon's Speed instead of the Strong and Agile system and unless boosted to ridiculous levels, make sure Pokemon can't attack 3 times in a row. I mean Perfect Speed IVs, Max Speed EVs, Choice Scarf, and either really good natural Speed or decent natural Speed with Tailwind or whatever. I think it could also be changed so that you selected your moves in order at the start of a "round" so that Priority moves wouldn't be completely thrown out.

    @landon1812 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hey, your back! nice to see some more people talk about Gen 9. I think your opinion is completely valid and if Gamefreak developed their games with features in recent games in mind then this wouldn't be an issue, however I believe the reason why these games seem to take a step back with how battles and encounters work is because (to my knowledge) there seem to be two teams at Gamefreak working on Pokemon games independently from each other instead of carrying over ideas from project to project, that's why I think the games have been lacking recently in quality. If they just merged the teams and had everyone working on games one at a time the development would go much faster and make more quality games.

  • @Jenny-eg3uh
    @Jenny-eg3uh 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    We haven't played it yet so we can't really review nor comment on it yet. But I feel it would make sense to keep in mind that these titles and Arceus were probably in the making at the same time with Arceus purposely made and released before hand so feedback on the Arceus prototype could go into future titles. But I'd say the release of Scarlet and Violet though was to close to Arceus to make a lot of changes. I feel positive for future titles that begin development after the feedback of Arceus though. Which means whatever games we get next year or the year after should hit the ground running.

  • @jeffgranovsky510
    @jeffgranovsky510 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I completely agree with all of your points! Take what worked in PLA and expand it with the open world and gym battles. Sure it’s not an action RPG but that’s ok - you can get rid of the dodge roll and Pokémon attacking you. But don’t regress on battle animations and the fluid improvements on catching Pokémon. Ditto the crafting system and ease of toggling changing Pokémon without opening a menu. These were just improvements to gameplay and moving backward is just simply that - moving backward. PS the linking cord was a great improvement to give players the option of evolving their Kadabra without hoping on the generosity of another player.

  • @HyouVizer
    @HyouVizer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Catching outside of battle always seemed like a Legends feature so not surprised it isnt in core series. But not having their physical attacks connect again...bruh that is the usual 2 steps forward 1 step back yet again 😑

  • @darcidious99
    @darcidious99 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Exactly why announcing these games without allowing legends to settle with everyone was a horrible idea. They didn't get to see what worked and what needed tweaking/adding/eliminating, so instead they're just making it "another pokemon, but open world".
    Physical move animations took a step back, catching mechanics are outright gone and back to the boring way, and we'll probably lose pokemon attacking us/alphas meaning we ALSO lose the cool dodge roll (I'm ok with losing the roll, but it was really cool and fun).
    I also really enjoyed throwing berries to allow sneaking behind for sneak attacks, but I feel with no legends style catching we won't be able to do that either. That isn't even bringing up the fact that they haven't fixed following pokemon either, so i can't imagine other issues are gonna be fixed/improved either.
    The one thing im genuinely excited for is new textures on pokemon, especially seviper cause hes one of my favs. They said the B team focused on legends and the A team focused on scar/vio: B team should focus on game mechanics since legends was fun to just play around with, and A team should focus on the designs since the world is the best looking and character/pokemon models look nicer than they have in a while. I'm hoping the next trailer really shows off the gimmick and what makes this adventure fun (gyms, totems, some combination maybe), cause right now I keep watching that trailer and getting sword and shield 2.0 vibes from it.

    • @UltraBall23
      @UltraBall23 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SV aren’t advertised as action games, so why would we expect those action mechanics? This is why I was adamant when people were saying Arceus was the future of Pokémon and they’re new approach to Pokémon games when all official information simply stated that the action gameplay was just a new approach for them, not the standard or the future.

    • @darcidious99
      @darcidious99 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@UltraBall23 because those mechanics were a direct improvement to the pokemon catching experience, while allowing the traditional method to be a still viable option. That's good design 101, build upon the formula and flesh out innovations while trying to maintain a classic feel in some way. Scar/Vio have no option being shown for the new and improved way, forcing players to interact with a catching system most find stale and boring. They also show poor implementation of following pokemon rather than using the one that worked in the Lets go games, and physical move animations being rooted to the place once again which legends also improved. The only thing this game has to show for it is open world (which we have yet to see if its gonna be good or a trainwreck), and multiplayer coop which is cool, but depending on its implementation might just be kinda useless. Like can me and 3 buddies all challenge gyms and make actual progress together, or will it just be the social features we already have like trading and battling. If its the first one though that would be cool and I'd look forward to it.
      To use another series as an example, Mario never needed a triple jump in his 2d entries since it was a 3d platforming mechanic, but new super Mario Bros. Brought the move in anyways and made just jumping around more fun, but optional. Innovate while allowing for a classic feel if you don't wanna interact with it. That's all im asking for is at least the option to be able to do it, doesn't have to be the only way or replace the old way, just let me engage with that fun mechanic in this new cool pokemon game.

    • @UltraBall23
      @UltraBall23 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@darcidious99 until mentioned otherwise, I expect the co-op to be just a better version of SwSh. Instead of a random 15 trainers popping in that you can’t actually interact with, you’ll have a dedicated 3. The website says you can explore the world together. That’s it. No story completion or etc, just running around the world.
      SV was never going to improve on what Arceus did as that was never it’s goal. Mario builds on past games as they’re designed to be an evolution of the previous entry. With them releasing 5+ years after each other, they have the ability to build.
      Pokémon did that while Masuda was in charge. When he realistically stepped down after XY, you can see that GameFreak is trying to make a game catered to different people each release. LGPE, SwSh, BDSP, and Arceus are all targeted at different groups of fans, not a growing fan base like RBGY - BW.

    • @darcidious99
      @darcidious99 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@UltraBall23 I mean that's fine but looking at the series I'd argue it flourished the most in that period of RGBY -B2W2 quality wise, now it's a toss up as to what features get removed and added and it all just feels lower quality as a result. I get they HAVE to make games on this stupid yearly schedule of theirs to satisfy other parts of their revenue (merch, cards, anime, etc.), but you can see the hits to quality its taken on the games especially in this last gen. Like seeing triple/rotation battles removed, megas/z-moves not even being optional, and not even having seasons were all major let downs for me in SW/SH. Don't get me wrong legends removed some cool things too, but it at least tried to be different enough to compensate so I could forgive those removals.
      My main issue is that we have no idea what comes and goes. If they really wanna keep legends separate from mainline and build more on THAT then that's fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a one and done thing. I've been waiting over a decade now for another colosseum/xd style game since i loved the idea, but it looks like the idea was just abandoned (obviously it wasn't a gamefreak creation but surely you see my point). Cool ideas and concepts are just abandoned to make way for new gimmicks, only for those gimmicks to then be removed later for another one. They could prove me wrong and I'd love for the pokemon company to do so, but RN I just don't have confidence they'll do that. I'm still hoping scar/vio prove me wrong so I can be excited for this game, it just feels lackluster with the 2 trailers so far just being meh. If the gimmick is cool at least and the open world has a good amount of stuff to do and explore, then I'll prob do a 180° on it tbh.

    • @UltraBall23
      @UltraBall23 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@darcidious99 That’s it right there. We don’t know what comes and goes. We aren’t supposed to be attached to certain features or mechanics so every game can be a new experience. We are too busy trying to create standards when they’re rotating between 5 different routes each generation. Our expectations should just be a new Pokémon experience, and not the definitive Pokémon experience. Did I explain that right?

  • @maoher9039
    @maoher9039 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is the best choice since it is forcing you to battle then like hiding or throwing pokeballs and it also made since for arceus it’s take place in the past. So it made since for you to catch on pokeballs then battling that is the one thing is wrong for arceus is that you are not forced to battle pokemon. Meaning you could run away or escape and come back and throw pokeballs again at it so meaning if it have that in scarlet and violet that is not in I’m glad. Is that there’s no point of pokemon battle for wild pokemon I’m fine if it not in the main series. Yes you can battle them if you want and who would want to battle them.

  • @AliceDevil7490
    @AliceDevil7490 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gamefreak has this issue of making multiple games at the same time. Hgss and gen 5 were made at the same time which is part of why follow Pokemon weren't in gen 5. A large part of the development of Kalos was made at the same time as oras which is why the first few Kalos gyms have so much more story and events then the rest of xy. Features that would've made Kalos better were pushed into oras instead , and again features that would've made a better Kalos got pushed into gen 7 further leaving Kalos scuffed, which happens to be the opposite problem choosing not to make a game. Let's go and swsh shared development time which is partly why swsh didn't have follow Pokemon and when they did add it in the dlc it was restricted by the core mechanics gen 8 put itself into. These problems I think are from gamefreak not giving themselves the time to absorb fan feedback and thus prioritize these things. Though they have listened to some things. Egg hatching and building competitive teams has gotten easier with each entry. Leveling up has gotten easier with exp candies. Exp share as well helps level things up. Unfortunately they made it permanently on but at least they added the portable pc box so at almost any point you can just put a Pokemon in the pc box if you're worried about over leveling.

    • @AliceDevil7490
      @AliceDevil7490 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gamefreak does things that make each Pokemon game better but they also do things that hurt their newer entries by developing too fast. Most of their money isn't made from the games but that income is still dependent on the new games releasing. So why would they do anything differently.

But then my friend wanted to be an IRL rival and have battles after every gym and now im pumped on these games so idk the games might stink on ice and romhacks will always out quality the base game but i think ultimately games are meant to be MADE fun and i think the whole series is one of the easiest games to create your own fun with.
