edit (13/11/23): this review sucks. lol
I don’t understand Pokémon fans. When Sword and Shield released in 2019, it was understandable that Pokémon fans were quite upset. To start off with, the “graphics” at the time were considerably worse and when it was revealed that some Pokémon were not going to even be in the game, the game received heavy backlash from fans and was regarded as one of the most weakest mainline entries.
Then we got Pokémon Legends, which most fans agreed was a major improvement with it’s new formula of catching Pokémon out of the wild. However this also received some backlash as well, with a common theme running that the plot was shallow and the.. gameplay wasn’t fun? Wait, hold on, Game Freak has just changed the entire meta of the game for you and you’re still complaining. The fights were too easy? The graphics were too ugly? The characters are too one dimensional? It’s hard for the common Pokémon fan to find what they enjoy.
And as of now, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have released (although it leaked a week earlier if you know what I mean). And as of now, although a lot of positive comments, Pokemon fans are still complaining! The frame rate and performance is actually so bad now because you guys bullied poor Masuda into trying to produce good ones on a console that has the same specs as a car battery. The fights are too easy? The characters are too one dimensional? You want the mechanics back from a spin off game, even though some of you DIDNT EVEN LIKE IT????
You can hate this game. If you genuinely just don’t like this game or anything in it you are perfectly fine to criticise whatever you want, we are a website that criticises everything for god’s sake. What I just don’t understand is the Pokémon fans. Why do you guys stick with this series for so long if you do nothing but rag and complain about how bad they all are? Pokemon is a series dedicated to putting out low budget titles that appeal to 10 year olds and adults who can never seem to grow up, of course the fights are too easy and everything looks shit. And maybe if you’re favourite Pokémon didn’t make it into the new game, take it as a sign that maybe it’s time to move on and try new things. Go outside and take a nice walk.
I’m a few hours in, I’m enjoying the game. I like the fruity duck starter and the evil team leader’s a baddie so hey good job Game Freak 4 stars!!!!!

At this point is stockholm syndrome tbh
I'm not gonna touch the rest of this post but this console specs thing is honestly not a valid defense because BotW, all 3 Xenoblade games, Monster Hunter Rise, Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3 all exist. This is just absolute garbage optimization at work. And I get why it happened, this is not a normal release window, but knowing that won't make the framerate any less choppy, it won't make the textures any higher resolution, and it won't fix any of the myriad of bugs
This, but with all core Nintendo fans, honestly. Every time I see these dudes complain, I'm just wondering why they don't, I dunno, try out games outside of their comfort zone for once.
''Pokemon is a series dedicated to putting out low budget titles that appeal to 10 year olds and adults who can never seem to grow up, of course the fights are too easy and everything looks shit.'' Super Mario oddyesey is a game that is geared to that same demographic yet it looks visually better and has challenge. I don't give about pokemon,but this claim doesn't make sense.
That’s because Mario Odyssey comes from a place of heart. SMO was a flagship Switch title but even with that Koizumi always pours in soul and work into the franchise. Unlike Game Freak.
I don't know... I think the pokemon fans liked the game. The problem is the performance.
yeah i feel this. i understand the hate for swsh because that game was a genuine low point, but were it not for the graphics/performance more people would recognize sv as the best pokemon game we've gotten in years. for a game that was forced to only go through two or so years of development, i think it has a lot of spirit. its really annoying to still see people just tear into every little aspect of the game, even things they got right. go play smt or something if you hate playing pokemon so bad, i dunno!
Gr8 b8 m8 8/8.
this feels like the davinci code
yeah this review DOES suck.
Maybe, just maybe, the fans are not the problem. And maybe, just maybe, "Pokemon is a series dedicated to putting out low budget titles that appeal to 10 year olds and adults who can never seem to grow up, of course the fights are too easy and everything looks shit" is a statement that is true only for like three or four games. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, fans stick with this series because of 20 years of really good games that actually had something to say, were really good looking for their respective consoles and so on.
Yes, I am a fan. And I will admit that i'm part of the problem just because I keep giving this series a chance because I see something in it still. And I also see these type of criticism constantly. Not even close is the times I see people complain of the games. It's always people saying this.
And I can't stand this. I'm sorry, but this is just awful. It's not even a review of a game. I cannot.
Just play the game if you want to, let people be, and don't be an a**hole about it please.
