Gamefreak heard people complaining about the lack of buildings in S/V and took it very personally.

Bruh call me cynical but there is no way Palworld is what you guys think is gonna suddenly make gamefreak work hard 💀

The Pokemon Co note was a legalese version of "we know about it, shut up." The game they actually took down around that time was so completely unnoticed that only the pokemon company themselves even know its name. They also smacked down a modder.

Oh so that's why gen7 was so scuffed (you know, outside of the 40 hour tutorial for a 12 hour game), they were copying someone else.

A Pokemon "Legends" game is a game that provides you with a "mythical" (read as event locked "legendary", they don't seem to like the word mythical) Pokemon for completing it.

I live in Goldenrod (Osaka) and I moved here about 2 years ago. Back in the US Pokemon is definitely popular, but I was stunned at just how popular it is here in Japan. You can't go anywhere without running into some kind of Pokemon themed item in a store. I'm curious to see where the new Legends game goes!

It's extremely rare for Japanese game studios to pay much attention to the western market beyond their own titles, so if Palworld is going to have any impact on Pokemon going forward it needs to find the sort of success in Japan that it has had in the rest of the world and I just don't see that happening. Which is ironic considering Pocket Pair is also a Japanese game studio themselves.

I don't see Palworld as being a rival to Pokémon at all. Tonally, it is very clearly a satire on Pokémon that puts dark, kid-unfriendly themes front and center. Palworld has no qualms about calling its Pokéballs brainwashing devices, its Pals as slaves, and gives you the option to eat them early on. Those are themes Nintendo flirts with in Pikmin, but Game Freak only really ever addressed with a deep-thinking antagonist in Black & White. Basically, Palworld is the Pokémon world when the intrusive thoughts win. They target completely different audiences. I can absolutely see Game Freak taking the lessons about giving your inactive Pokémon bigger roles and tasks to do at home, but they will probably emphasize the ability to pet and groom them over giving them guns and eating them.

It's most likely why when Gen 5 Pokemon came out, i was expecting the series to be much more mature than it did four generations prior....Only for that to be ruined by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, that pretty much cancelled it out right, and since then Pokemon has become a much more safer less experimental franchise until 12 years later, but yet, they haven't been the same since the 1990s and 2000s. And again, if the legendary status devs end up getting fired, I wouldn't be surprised. The problem is that, while yes they are legends, at the end of the day, they're human beings like you and I. And I came to the conclusion that people treat them, like "Gods" in the gaming world....Which, if you know religion, especially in Christianity....Worshipping in false gods would lead down a path of evil, greed, and outright stagnation, which the true god wouldn't tamper/hamper with those who wish to progress in the future. Conserving what was done in the past is fine and all, but the key word is that companies have to "Progress" at some point in the future. And I would tell Game Freak that, as a company, they sometimes have to get out of the mindset that they are an indie company, and start embracing a bit of the corporation part of the company, to help increase employees or something to shake it up once in a while. Even I haven't bought pokemon games since the late 2000s, with My Pokemon Ranch being the last Pokemon game I wanted...Until I left it behind for politics, before coming back to it in 2020, but instead of buying games...It was the creatures I liked and not so much the games itself.

Dude your videos are amazing. It's so interesting and you have a great way of storytelling. Keep up the good work!

Brilliant video that explains the problems and direction it should go in

Really like your essay style. Keep up the good work!

Really enjoying your essays! Looking forward to more

Monster Hunter is a good production structure to Follow. They have a near Yearly or Bi yearly release. However, its not crunched or anything. Year one is main line new gen game, then year two is a DLC (or Ultimate version back in the classic days), then year Three is the spin off game having fun with the generations mechanics, and year four is the DLC of the spinoff, for it to repeat again with the next generation. Capcom also has two Monster Hunter teams, A team and B team working on the two games, getting a solid 4 years each, then they get some external help for the DLC's. I feel like this is why the Monster Hunter games all feel fresh with each new addition, MH World getting a HUGE makeover compared to GU, then Iceborn putting a whole new twist of the feel of World making you faster and more maneuverable, then Rice comes out and now you are a Ninja flying from gauntlet to gauntlet, for Sunbreak to turn you into a knight fighting vampires and gods. They are all Monster Hunter games where you hunt monsters, but each game make you hunt them in a different way with a different feeling. As you say, Legends Arceus is so beloved because of how it completely revamped the system while keeping the essence of Pokemon. Pokemon is more then going from Gym to Gym battling trainers, then get the Box legendary somewhere in the middle, then fight the league. The core of Pokemon is the bond between your companions. On an other note, i feel like the way they do HM's now kinda removed that, despite my lack of battling with my gen4 Bibarrel, he was probably the MVP of my team.

Legends Arceus is probably the most fun Pokemon game I've played since Emerald. Not that i dislike gyms and towns, i just liked the freeroam and battles much more than in the "traditional" poké games. But the handholding, and the lack of gods-damned voiceover (and the bugs too, i guess) ruined it. 😒

go algorythm - do your work! This is amazing quality stuff you do

You know, I grew up with yo kai watch... not pokemon on my 2ds. The first and second games were so amazing and its a real shame that they said their goodbyes in the end.

saw mention of yokai watch instant sub

Great video, subbed to ya, glad it got recommend, good editing, nice commentary and some good puns haha. I agree 1000% when you said game freak took a step forward in making legends arceus, then literally belly flopped releasing scarlet and violet ditching a lot of the mechanics that made Pokémon feel like it was moving in a positive direction, instead showing their pure greed and lack of care with release deadlines and copy paste format. It was so sad to see, every pokemon fan wants more and deserves more, I hope they do take inspiration from palworld, I love that game; although I did get burned out from it after about a month and half due to my pals needing too much medicine if i was away for longer than a 12 hour period lol.

great video! keep it up. would have loved more detail on how nintendo changed it up for X and Y following yokai watch. other than that, very interesting. thanks :)

Great video

Is no one going to say anything about his insane pronunciation of Arceus? Just me? Okay. Good video though.

That’s the Japanese pronunciation. I agree that it’s weird that a pokemon with the same name in both regions has 2 different pronunciations compared to say, Lucario, which is pronounced the same in both. Since Japan and Yokohama featured so heavily in the video, I ultimately went with the Japanese pronunciation.

Brock is right, nohing beat a good old jelly filled donut 🙃

This is a pretty good theory. It makes sense too since your literally building a city. 🤞

I had a feeling that palworld would end up being a net positive for Pokémon. Guess we’ll see. Great video!

gotta say that ive got huge nostalgia for pokemon xy, not so much in mechanics but rather in setting. i def didnt have the perspective of the previous, way more open and expansive games, but i legitimately feel lumiose city was the first time i started feeling that desire for like, a game that's set entirely in one city with totally-traversable buildings and each interior modelled and accessible. hope ZA isn't just some generic cash grab after LA, it'd really suck to have that magic beaten into the dust another time

Great video, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I kept up with gamefreak releases. Or maybe I can: disappointed. Let's hope things change.

The gameplay hasn't been holding an everstone. It's gone progressively worse, easier, and more dumbed down after the fourth gen.

The main problem with GF's current dev cycle is that it *has* to be rushed. This video is missing some very important context around ownership of the Pokemon IP: basically ownership is split up three-way almost exactly evenly with GF owning a third, Nintendo owning a third, and a third company, The Pokemon Company (in charge of merch, the anime, etc.) owning a third. Originally this was done to ensure that the majority of shareholders had to be satisfied with a decision before moving forward with it, but this actually bit GF in the butt due to how Pokemon makes its money. That is, almost 60-80% of the revenue for the Pokemon IP is made not via the games, but the merch + anime, which is the domain of the Pokemon Company. With that being the case, and Nintendo obviously just caring about making as much money as possible, it means that in all decisions regarding the dev cycles, GF is outnumbered 2 to 1. So what's happening is that the anime and merch releases aren't following the games' schedules, it's the opposite, the games are essentially now nothing more than elaborate advertisements for the merch drops. Put simply, Pokemon is a toy line first, game series second. GF is being forced to follow in lock-step to what The Pokemon Company wants to do because Nintendo almost always sides with them, leading to their unsustainable dev schedule. And do you know what the saddest part is? Despite the terrible critical reviews for SV, they were the best selling Pokemon games in *history.* Nothing is even close to dethroning Pokemon at this point and it's now literally the most profitable IP in the world. No one, not Nintendo, not TPC, and not Gamefreak, have any sort of financial incentive to change anything they're doing. There have been leaked reviews for Gamefreak on a Japanese equivalent of Glassdoor where employees talk candidly and anonymously about their experiences at the company and the majority of them have little to nothing good to say. The old guard is set in their ways and they're massively technologically behind when compared to other studios, new employees' ideas hardly ever get listened to, and one person went so far as to say "The good parts of working at Gamefreak are that you can sit around doing not a lot and get a fat paycheck, and brag to your friends about working at Gamefreak. That's it." There is no reason to believe they're going to change their ways even if they wanted to, and all signs point to them literally not being able to.

Oddly i feel like pokemon wolrd alway a place wanted to live in though at least i can kind live this out pen and paper RPG game thought sadly i don't think going find same group did the last time when we ran this years ago.

are you some kind of failed comedian, because even as a joke this is completely moronic. for one thing you're just wrong. there's substantial improvement to the graphics between games. but even if there wasn't, there's way way more that goes into games than just the graphical fidelity. "those money" likely went into music, gameplay, designing over a hundred new pokemon and even marketing the game. money also isn't even the problem, time is, that's the big thing everyone complains about. it's never been about money, it's always been about the games being rushed thanks to the yearly schedule, and you can't just pay god to put more time in a year.

16:55 - Once I got old enough, Pokemon never made sense to me. Using stomp on a Weedle with my Snorlax did not make it faint, it caused it to die. SPLAT! So I hope they do bring this mechanic in where you bring 5 Geodude corpses and they make a wall out of them. I like your idea. That seems more true to life that this ridiculous cartoon world they've been stuck in for the last 20 years. Animals get caught to be either food, materials, or slave labor. Your content is always great, Tin.

I dont think Pokemon needs to do this, Pokemon needs to enhance and evolve their mechanics, for example showing IV's for caught pokemon, being able to change or atleast find pokemon with a specific nature or ability, making EVs less of a grind to obtain. Pokemon doesn't need to go dark or realistic, its fine being the silly game that it is, the games are losing steam cause they refuse to involve their core mechanics, its the same game over and over with one new gimmick thats gone by next gen. S/V recently has seen some improvement that I hope is carried on, like buffing Ice Types and giving some pokemon like Pelipper buffs

@@nelluc8831 I was joking about the corpse thing. No way Pokemon would go anywhere near that and that's absolutely not what Tin was talking about. For me, what Pokemon needs is a complete overhaul of their writing and pacing. It has been the same plot since Blue, with the same uninspired childish writing, plot holes, boring staging, etc. You're talking about min-maxing some of the values. Sure, it can be streamlined and made easier for competitive play. It is an absolute time vampire getting every attribute to line up perfectly to have a competitive advantage in multiplayer. But that doesn't help in making the core game fun. I haven't played in-depth of a mainline Pokemon game since Silver. I've tried some of the newer ones and they don't spark the same interest as re-playing an older game because I don't care for the new Pokemon or any of the characters. I've found fan made mods way more interesting.

@@tomsko863You clearly don’t know much about the story of Scarlet and Violet. SV’s greatest strength is the quality of its writing, and it makes a far departure from the structure of past games. The last time a Pokémon game had such a good story was Black and White, but never has a Pokémon game so genuinely punched me in the gut and made me cry as SV did.
