This game is the future of Pokemon games. I am glad GF distanced itself from the competitive aspect of the series.
VGC and smogon chuds absolutely ruined this franchise. >IV's >EV's >abilities >batte items
There was so much nonsense to care about that it reflected negatively to most Pokemons that were not viable but with this story centric game we can now just focus on having comfy Pokemon adventure which Pokemon should be all about.
I say get rid of battle multiplayer Pokemon games for good and give us more Legends.
The JRPG gameplay just feels much better than the boring turn base shit we've seen for years. It's only challenging while facing a real person but due to nature of the meta people won't use most mons.
This game is such a freshness. The lack of competitive bullshit made the collecting and usage of Pokemons much more fun. We don't need bazillion useless moves afor a game to be fun and challenging.
Joshua Murphy
Agree so much. This is the best Pokemon game ever.
Asher Miller
You gotta be retarded if you think they gonna remove competitive battling from future Pokemon games. ARCEUS is like LGPE a side game.
Jeremiah Campbell
No.
"Cutting games feature is a good thing now?"
Anthony Morgan
I think competitive battling is what ruined Pokemon games for me. I am very happy we got something this good
William Wilson
I really don't think game freak has ever given a single shit over smogoniggers
Lucas Price
Nothing wrong with abilities and held items. IVs are bad and EVs are neutral. They just have to make hidden abilities regular abilities because there’s zero reason for them to be rare anymore
Logan Anderson
They are aware of them. That's why they purposely shorten the timer and never put it back to it was before. I have Japanese friends who play showdown. The smogon meta is not unheard of there.
Matthew Campbell
Online battling is useless
Ryder Stewart
I don't play comp anymore, but Pokemon has always been a game that I shared with friends. Pokemon is unlike most JRPGs, since founded on the idea of people playing the game together. Fine if you can't appreciate that, but it shouldn't be outright removed.
>Nothing wrong with abilities and held items this, when the games actually utilize stuff like this its awesome and makes more strategies viable.
Joseph Flores
Here is the problem with abilities. Some Pokemon have different abilities so you would need to catch "the right one" to have the best viability. It's a soulless concept. It should be catch and go. >but muh ability change pills soulless >but muh natures should be gone too
Samuel Rogers
You haven't even played it yet retard.
Ian Flores
nah. What I want is a game that has Legends mechanics in the overworld but with the more traditional battle system + competitive. Would be the best Pokemon game easily if they did that in gen 9 or 10.
Jacob Lee
Trading is still in and the main point of Pokemon was the collecting aspect.
John Powell
Back to soulless turn based piss easy NPC stomping. GF doesn't know how to code challenging fights with the current battle format. It needs to remain jrpg turn based.
Jacob King
>abilities >batte items Literally fuck off
Zachary Morris
Gen9 gonna be shit and everyone is going to wait for Legends2.
Jack Allen
I don't give a shit about campaign NPC fights I just want battle facilities and competitive multiplayer. They could make a game with zero NPC trainers for all I care, that's pretty much what SS DLC was and it was still fun.
Blake Brooks
>he wants a battle simulator They should just make a Stadium type games for you compshitters and leave adventure for us Legends chads
Cooper Hill
>compfag ew. shit taste.
Christian Barnes
>i dont care about the story/character and world building of the game just let me do soulless tower battles Kill yourself
Colton Lewis
Trash taste
Elijah Stewart
Sales will reflect what people want thats all there is to it.
Luis Hughes
If they do I will be dropping all the games that exclude it except for side games like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
