Honest question:
Do you think we'll EVER get another really good Pokemon game? Realistically, do you think they can make something work any time in the future? Let's say they will. What's ONE feature you would want over anything else, if you had to pick?

Good monster designs.
PLA and SV were good so yes. I'm sure they're on the right trajectory and the next game will be great if it pulls the best from both these games.
I like the facial customization from SV, but I wish we also had the type of clothing customization SwSh had.
>PLA and SV were good
bait
SV being so ass doesn't give me much hope.
>What's ONE feature you would want over anything else, if you had to pick?
proper routes and dungeons
I think GF have shown more than enough to show you.
All Pokemon with all past move sets usable perfect for PvE training and PvP learning.
scarlet/violet are the best pokemon games in terms of gameplay in my opinion
there are some flaws, and the performance and visuals could really use a lot of work (havent encountered any of the bugs since i am playing on pc) but these were still really fun games
i hope they continue with the open world approach and add legends features like the pokemon attacking the player character and physical moves making contact
the artstyle could also be much better than what we got
>posts a really good Pokemon game
>"will we ever get another really ghood pokemon game???"
Yes...?
Considering the replies, no.
Pokemon fans have zero standards.
No, we won't. The empty and unfinished world with dev placeholder beacon pokeballs was the highest selling pokemon game ever. They don't need to finish anything, they don't need to fill anything. No more cool little side areas. No more cool calender or random events. No more interesting submechanics. No more fishing. No more contests. No more interesting NPCs. It is well and truly over for anybody but competitives.
No, they're never going to make a pokémon game for your overgrown kiddy arse manchild. They ARE improving their games, but they are not going to chase full-on grawfixbabby-tier presentation, because they sell this shit at kids primarily and kids aren't pozzed to the meme of "grawfix=good gameez" like you hilariously childish homosexuals were reared to eblieve because the memeboxes saw graphics as an easy sell-point rather than making any actual good games.
>Do you think we'll EVER get another really good Pokemon game?
Most likely not. Easier to see what's trending, half-ass it in your entry, and then have people praise the game outside of the glitches and poor performance, pretending that those things are the only things wrong with the games.
you didnt buy pla so no, we wont
SV has a lot going for them but the ridiculous and frankly unacceptable technical performance of the games is really emblematic of the problems facing the series. the franchise is way bigger than just the games and the generational release pattern of the products mean if the cards, the anime, the merch, and all the marketing is ready to go, they WILL release the games even if they are not ready. SV clearly needed 6-12 months more development time but the amount of money that would be lost be delaying the release of the rest of the Pokemon ecosystem mandated they were released clearly unfinished.
GF just refuses to scale up appropriately to keep up with their own self imposed release schedule, this kind of shit causes intense burnout of staff and results in subpar products. its really troubling they made these mistakes just a single generation after Nintendo already felt obligated to step in after SwSh were a development nightmare. the sales of SV clearly are going to send a positive message to the C suite that this strategy works so hopefully the famous Japanese need to preserve face will at least force GF to pour more resources into game dev after all the memes about how ugly the games are and how buggy they were at launch

i'm going to cry
i genuinely hate scarlet and violet. i can't do it. i can't beat the game. every time i turn it on i get angry at how clunky it feels in comparison.
Literally me. Disliked all of Gen 6-9, I'm just sitting here waiting for another Legends game or more romhacks. Hopefully we get a Johto Legends game, that would be awesome.
Dom't worry, we all know.
We do.
I know you do anon
I just am really late to scarlet and violet and going from pla to this just hurts and I needed to scream into the void
It hurts so much.
Speak for yourself, homosexual.
>Do you think we'll EVER get another really good Pokemon game?
PLA
pic unrelated. scat and violet sucked.
It's a step in the right direction
>Do you think we'll EVER get another really good Pokemon game?
In a post-HOME post-Dex cut post-SM post-GO world? No.
But we can hope for at least moderately passable like PLA or decently fun and involved like SV.
> What's ONE feature you would want over anything else, if you had to pick?
If I had to pick just one thing, probably Megas. But we also don't know if they'll put us back on the leash for Gen 10 like Gen 7 and 8 did. I'll sacrifice anything to have games that actually let me fricking play.
>What's ONE feature you would want over anything else, if you had to pick?
I'm cheating, but EVERY FEATURE. The games have constantly been 1 step forward and 2 steps back since Gen 3 and I say that as someone who loved Gen 3. We shouldnt be adding a big new feature just for it to be gone in the next game, we should instead be iterating upon that feature or adding others.
Use PLA as a base and
>cut all the annoying ass dialogue with the annoying ass characters
>remove the railroads, make it an open world adventure exploration game (that doesn't run like shit)
>polish the combat to something actually engaging
>>cut all the annoying ass dialogue with the annoying ass characters
You had me at that, I want it. I spent so much time in SwSh and SV judt pressing the A button ajd saying "oh myy god shut up already"
PLA had just as much dialogue at the start
I didn't play it, I came back from Gen 3 with SwSh and then played SV. Both of these games had dialog so long and awful that Inwpuld have been embarassed if anybody saw me playing them.
nobody would give two flying fricks
in fact most normies would go 'omg is that pokemoooonnn my favourite is psyduck he has a headache all the time like me lol :3"
I think AI will eventually do the heavy lifting and GF will be able to focus their time and energy on coming up with new ideas and concepts. With the assistance of AI, I might add.
PLA is a boring slog. Anyone who considers it good is fricking coping and probably plays nothing but pokemon.
S/V drop down into the single digits in terms of fps so yeah, I am coping because it's not like I have any other options.
SV are arguably the best games in the entire franchise so I'm pretty sure the next ones or the ones after that will be really good.
>best games
I'm talking about gameplay, you know, the most important thing in a game.
People think that Pokemon fans will buy anything but I'm pretty sure GF are well aware they can't release unoptimized technical messes several times in a row and expect them to sell well.
>What's ONE feature you would want over anything else, if you had to pick?
All I want are real detailed environments, forests, bushes, flowers, lakes, real houses you can enter, real paths leading you into a forest, a clearing, a small village, etc.
I want real routes, not empty meadows like SV and not the 15 meters long linear paths with 4 patches of grass and 3 trainers like we had before either.
SV feels like a MMO to me, visually speaking, the camera in too far from the character and everything is vast and open. I want a game that feels more like an adventure game.
>Play PLA
>Have fun
>Play SV
>Have fun
>Play X
>Have fun
Y'all are frickin' stupid.
>play pokemon
>have fun
>play any other game
>dont have fun
why does it keep happening
not unless everyone at gamefreak gets canned and replaced. its sad that one of nintendos most iconic and profitable franchises is helmed by one of the laziest studios around
no. the culture of "we don't have to try because it's going to sell anyway" is simply too ingrained in gamefreak for them to ever make a good game again.
Until they add pokemon save be either backed by the cloud or save connected to the cartridge; we will never get another good pokemon game
