just finished watching a Pokemon SV playthrough
Tumblr media
#i still have my gripes with the optimization and how the game was released#and i still think this dex was pretty meh in terms of design#HOWEVER#the emotional climax of the story shoot it to the top of my pokemon games list#they took everything good about the characters from SWSH and built on top of it#they took everything that failed about the story in SWSH and fixed it#genuinely felt so refreshing and exciting#i laughed and teared up at multiple times!#i know im a bit of a baby but considering how disparaging i was when i started watching#i was forced to enjoy it! in a good way!#i still think Nintendo/Game Freak deserve all the flack they got from all the way the gameplay failed upon launch#all the glitches and camera freaking out in cutscenes and frames dropping to the point one player i was watching had to leave an area#as soon as she finished the quest cause she was afraid the game will crash again if she tried to keep catching pokemon there#and she had already lost hours of gameplay#unlike with my opinions on some pokemon. these aren't opinions. this was lack of time and resources.#without those things these games are genuinely a marvel#im waiting to see if they patch some shit up before i consider buying them#((they shouldn't have to patch so much weeks after launch on a 60$ game agh))#STILL#i truly loved the way it looks and the exploration angle#it brought me around to liking overworld pokemon. which i was always against!#so! conclusion!! i truly loved these games despite all my reservations#there was obviously a lot of love and care put into so much of it#i also want to gnaw at the legs of CEOs that force the release of these games when there are still dev objects on the scenes#pas post
