    The Black & White cutscenes really didn't bother me, in fact, I really liked how the game unfolded, as they all seem to flow more or less naturally. You walk, a sprite appears, spits out a few lines, BOOM, cutscene done, you may continue playing. In SM however every cutscene felt so loooong with all the loading and the camera angle switching; they always interrupted gameplay instead of being a part of it and that's what bothered me personally.

    Breath of the Wild proved to me that Nintendo isn't afraid to ditch the linear gameplay while still retaining the core elements of a massively loved series. I'm praying to Arceus that they make the same choice with Pokemon Sword & Shield onward. I would love a truly open world Pokemon game where the progression is still there, but the order in which you do things is completely up to you. Anyway great video, smell ya later.

The design philosophies and innovation floating around EAD at the moment are in a completely different place than Game Freak, who is the ultimate example of "playing it extremely safe" Game Freak wont ever take any risks like what caused the success of Breath of the Wild or the failure Metroid Prime 4 would have been.

    Mostly just personal preference, but I think I prefer the more story oriented focus of the newer pokemon games. A similar thing applies to breath of the wild; it's a great game, but it felt really lacking in story and after a while I started to get bored of it because wandering aimlessly looking for things to do just doesn't really appeal to me. I like to have a clear goal and motivation which is why I prefer more story oriented games. Long story cutscenes almost never bother me and I actually enjoyed the pacing of the ultra sun and moon games. I think the appeal of open world games and more story driven games is really about which aspect of the game you prefer and enjoy the most, and think a more story driven approach appeals more to a lot of newer pokemon players like myself, who maybe aren't as familiar with the mechanics and play pokemon more casually.

    I've just barely managed to contain the feeling of being handheld in Sword by taking the progression as slow as humanly possible. Been playing fairly consistently since it came out and just passed the fifth gym. It helps that I'm straight up enjoying the story presented in Sword much more than I ever did Sun&Moon. That was a snorefest and the protagonist had NO FACIAL EXPRESSIONS!!! Sword&Shield are definitely an improvement overall from Sun&Moon, but they REALLY need to stop handholding us.

You have the option to choose a starter from the conventional 6, or something completely off the wall, like Houndour, Porygon, or smeargle (roughly 20 total to pick from). I won't say it "solves everything" but it may be something worth trying.

    I agree on all but N's Castle. The fact that it literally appears from nowhere, and is required to progress since it's part of the story, makes it almost a perfect example that the problem does exist. The player doesn't go through N's castle because they want to stop Team Plasma, or because they want to get some goons out of the way so they can continue their Adventure, they go through it because the story says they go through N's castle. N's castle isn't a side quest you take up because you want to, it's just the next set of rails

The rooms are all optional elements for the story, there's no fetchquest to check every item so you can get a key to the boss door or something like that.

    Sun & Moon was abysmal in its pacing, for me. Couldn't finish it because I was absolutely bored. Also, if Iwata (rest his soul) could single-handedly reduce Gold/Silver and add Kanto, then I'm sure it's possible on today's systems with whole teams

He began to feel nauseous and the temperature around him swung violently between frigid cold with nigh suffocating rain, and scorching, dry heat. As other humans collapsed around him, he stumbled atop Swampert and rasped, “S-surf!!” With all speed, fighting violent waves and struggling to help Brendan hang on, Swampert surged forward. It sought out the source of the rain-drought commotion, and found it-two titans clashing in the middle of the sea. No, mountains! No, floods! No!! Mountains again! Colossal continents and tsunami-like waves of equal height crashed against each other.... With Groudon and Kyogre thundering at their center. Swampert plunges bravely forward, with Brendan barely conscious on its back. Even Swampert began to shudder from the freezing-boiling-rocky sea. Brendan summoned all his strength, with rain falling on his skin and evaporating off of it at two second intervals. “STOP!! PLEASE! STOP FI-“ All at once, a surge of mountain collided with Swampert and Brendan. Brendan, knocked unconscious by the blow, sunk helplessly toward the ocean depths. Just as he saw a bright light gleaming above the surface, his vision went black...”

Yes, I know Town is a thing that exists, but I also see no reason (or incentive) for Gamefreak to go beyond playing it safe, making a game that's essentially a new map with new pokemon, adding a new mechanic and taking one away, and not once again, netting 10 million or more sales Sword and shield, sans whatever camera stuff they have going on, seems to be more of the same That's just me Feel free to correct me on any inaccuracies Good stuff as usual

    Now that I think about it, that's probably why I liked Heartgold and Soulsilver. There were many features that they had on the side that were optional that you could explore. An example of this would be the various radio stations on the poke gear and their functionalities. I didn't even know that swarms, hoenn/sinnoh pokemon, and eventually gym leaders could be accessed through the poke gear until I went out of my way out of boredom to find that out. There were so many other features (pokeatholon, voltorb flip, battle frontier, safari zone, pal park, bug catching contest, and the entire post game story including post red additions) that you could go and find yourself without being told to by the game, which of course made the experience a lot more satisfying. There were periods of time where very little deviation from plot and roadblocks were issues, but I feel Kanto circumvented most of that (minus the poke gear card to get the flute to wake up snorlax through this weird series of events that was all needed just to go through diglett cave and all of that just to find out you need cut to get to the other half of Kanto). Either way, I like the idea of exploration and team building, but then again there are story elements that I really do like about pokemon (Black and White 2 made this clear) and it would be odd if there was still nothing stopping you from going to some places. To me, it's like something to work up to. The grind makes it rewarding at times (like in Soulsilver they fixed the issue of getting larvitar with the peak area in the safari zone such that you could get larvitar possibly around the 6th or 7th gym badge). The only thing I do not like about grinding is when its mandatory (like rushing through uninteresting poritions of text or game like the trainer school in sun and moon).

    I think the Gym progression could be really easy to follow if you simply gave the gym leaders certain conditions: -Badges 1-2 Gym leader's teams range from 15-20 and have 2 Pokemon -Badges 3-4 Gym leader's teams range from 25-30 and have 3 Pokemon -Badges 5-6 Gym leader's teams range from 35-40 and have 4 Pokemon -Badges 7-8 Gym leader's teams range from 45-50 and have 5 Pokemon -Every Gym leader's rematch team is level 55-60 and have 5 Pokemon -Elite 4's team ranges from 55-60 (65-70 in the rematch) and have 5 Pokemon -Champion's team ranges from 60-65 (75 in the rematch) and has 6 Pokemon And every city has a specific area (mountain, forest, river, volcano, graveyard) where you can find specific type Pokemon and you can explore deeper the more badges you have or the more powerful your Pokemon are so you can find rare items (Z-Crystals, or Plates) or Pokemon (even Legendaries or Ultra Wormholes) in the postgame. These aren't hard to implement and would give the players a great variety of Pokemon and resources to choose from.

    Yeah his concept overall is not the solution, even if an interesting one. SV was a mess. From me getting so strong I had to avoid trainers, to...then getting swept by a lv 58 Fighting special Revaroom when my team was very weak to Fighting (3-4 mons iirc)....and I tried it at around 48 cause I didn't know. But then every regular trainer I swept easily. I beat Arven around those levels too, thanks to using entry hazards and some luck. The scaling would be interesting IF they didn't make it a flat curve up (pacing easy and hard sections in difficulty is very important). Or at least telling you where the easier or harder ish sections are. So yeah, the game is a mess. It left me wanting more of a challenge, but not special Team Star Revaroom bosses (mainly just that fighting one) that could setup too fast, had too much HP, and removes statuses, reflecting the horrid trend of JPRGs having status immune boring boss fights. Looking at you Persona and many others; poison, sleep, mute, bind, stun, what are those? -_- oh yes, filler moves for regular battles when you want to be the most MP efficient as the games drains you. At least Pokemon usually doesn't have that issue.

    Even the 3DS FE games are more linear and story heavy than any pokemon game, but you can skip almost any dialogue or cutscene you want, and tutorials are just text popups you can quickly hide to read later if you want. Similarly, recruitable characters are always at specific chapters, but you can do a lot of customization with your army, so it still feels different each time. When I replay a Pokemon game, I find that I usually end up with a similar team. in FE, even if I stick with the same units, I can do different things with them to spice things up. If they don't want to take a page from the open world format, perhaps simply taking a page from FE could do some good.

Like, I'm sorry, that's just how strong a particular Gym Leader is. You came to this town, you faced him but you lost because you were not ready. But every time the player gets a badge, the power level of every other leader slightly increases because their pokemon grow with time just like yours. And they could make losses a reasonable part of the adventure, boosting the desire for a rematch

    I feel that they're mostly more noticeable and less fun now is because they've taken all of the challenge out of them. The earlier games typically didn't tell you fuckall about what you were supposed to do, you had to wander around and explore or talk to npcs to piece it together, and the whole thing in itself was a bit of a puzzle you had to put together. By comparison road blocks in the newer games feel like there's a time quota they need you to hit before you're allowed into the next section, and the things you have to do to progress are just busywork to keep you occupied. They were never good, but they've definitely gotten worse as what fun they did have was stripped out of them.

Emboar is my favourite fire starter, and Serperior is my favourite grass starter. Kyurem is a really good looking legendary, all three of the forms. And you are kinda stretching some of those comparisons, especially the Zoroark one. I Don't agree with the Victini and Mew one either. You might as well say that Manaphy, Meloetta and Magearna also are copies of it. since all of them look vaguely like Mew. Did you have problems with noibat? That's basically Zubat 3. Stufful and Bewear is Teddiursa and Ursaring 3. I just don't see a balanced view here; you didn't like the pokemon in gen 5, that's ok. Then you say that very many of the gen 5 pokemon are copies of older pokemon, but ignores that every gen has had some kind of copies. Also, why don't we critique the very uninspired pokemons from gen one? What about Muk? or Electrode? The only kinda bad Dragon pokemon from this gen was Druddigon, but saying that both Haxorus and Hydreigon are ugly? what are you? A monster? Why are the pokemon you said horrible? i really liked their designs(excluding Stunfisk), especially Gothitelle's.

    I prefer a game to have deep lore, and a story that is driving; but the majority of that should be in the background for you to learn or discover in the environment via things like character dialogue, or books that tell you more of the lore. It helps you flesh out the world; and allows you to continue enjoying the world. But the key thing; is that the storyline should be integral to the plot progression. If the story is centered around confronting say; Team Rocket, and stopping them from taking over, that should be the center focus of the game, but instead Pokemon's progression is completely insane and silly. The opening of the game gives you the lofty goal of catching all the Pokemon for research, then this gets dumped when you decide to take the 8 gym challenge so you can enter the Pokemon league; and while you are going after this goal; Team Rocket gets involved and you thwart them in the span of 10 minutes. Basically, what I'm saying is; Pokemon's progression would be more interesting if they got rid of the 8 gyms/league system. This way, the game could start out with the focus on the Pokemon world; and build up the villain team that is threatening the decisions of the Pokemon and people; and then the emphasis is on stopping the evil team. The closest game to this was Gen V, Black and White; where the main storyline was centered around Team Plasma and N. However, the 8 Gym Badges and league were still required in order to progress; so the storyline was halted because of pointless tradition that seems completely redundant at this point. N is going to capture a legendary Dragon and is planning to begin his ascent to becoming the new King of the land? Using his dragon to assert his dominance? Sorry; you can't stop him until you have the next badge, because some dumb shit will block the road until you prove your worth... what kind of sense does that make?

    The problem with sun/moon is that the entire game is Unskippable poorly paced cutscenes -> barebones route -> Unskippable poorly paced cutscenes for 4 goddamn Islands And you can mash through the text but you can't mash through the 3 stock animations everyone use all the time

    If the switch can handle BOTW and Dark Souls, it can handle an open world Pokemon game, especially since they got rid of the National Dex. ( 5:27 )

    0:53 bro, don’t show that part. I’m still traumatized from when she tried to murder her own kid-and how there was no on-screen reconciliation. You’re giving me flashbacks.
