Whats your thoughts on the Pokemon scarlet and violet i feel like it kinda peels away from what pokémon is at its core and kinda changes the game up entirely

ok i wanna preface this by saying ive only played like half an hour so my opinion doesn't rlly mean shit but !!

imo i think pokemon games have been super weak since sun n moon, pokemon has adapted badly to the 3d shift n theyve failed to release good titles for the switch, legends arceus was a total shot in the dark n seemed very unpolished and unfinished but ppl still rlly liked it & it's regarded as one of the best pokemon games so i like that thye haven't just stuck their head back in the sand and have tried to carry that over to scarvi for a more polished game ! that said graphics r still terrible performance issues r still annoying n there are a lot of balance issues (e.g. no scaling despite open world format) that i rlly rlly hope they fix in the next title bc ffs gamefreak really have no excuse by this point, but in general i think they're doing the right thing and trying out changes to a p stale formula!!

#can u tell i really WANT to like mainline pokemon games but cant bring myself to shdfkjhfskj #i have radical ideas tho i want them to scrap stat scaling with levels entirely which theyll never do #have levels only give u new moves etc #and have a much bigger focus on strategic battling #give all gym leaders 6 pokemon hard force set battling #emphasise the fact that ur meant to die on gym leaders and make dying quicker and less associated with penalties #treat pokemon games more like puzzle games where ur meant to figure out solutions to battles over trial and error #and its not bad if u lose a few times #and for the record i think theres a way you could do that without making it inaccessible to kids #im not even saying make them harder for example #im saying de-emphasise the strength of just overlevelling and powering through #which is so easy in new games and jsut takes all the fun out for me #anyway theyll never do this shit and i am at peace with that but yknow #i have to say it somewhere #but yeah i see ur concerns but idk man!!#flusterasks
