We will never get a battle frontier again because the target demographic is a bunch of manchildren who call any kind of difficulty "tedious"
Now all we're getting is shitty character drama with tumblr tier designs to appeal to roasties and less and less focus on pokemon
I don't give a shit about the fricking human characters i want things to do with my pokemon when i play pokemon
And i don't give a shit about zoomers who lack to attention span to play games with HM moves, breed or hunt 1/8192 shinies, why exactly are we pandering to casual subhumans?
Pokemon will never be good again
It's funny seeing millenniboomers whine about grinding, breeding, EV training etc. for literal decades, then some Poketuber makes a gen 2 bad video and they do a complete 180. Jan truly is the king of /vp/.
I mean again what items could you be possibly keeping on you at all times where that'd be an issue? >Potion >Awakening >Paralyz Heal >Antidote >Escape Rope >Repel
You still have space for 14 items after that, and Pokemon's definitely not throwing that much stuff at you between Pokecenters
The main bag holds all the medicines, held items, X items, and other misc items like repels, evo stones, shards, money items and so on. You will need to do some inventory management if you're doing an ounce of exploring.
Sure, but an ounce is hardly an issue when it basically boils down to "put all the non-essential junk in the PC"
It's not like Gen 1 where you actually had to figure out what you might need ahead of time and such and possibly not have room for items you find.
It didn't. Sure, casuals complained about it, and they're the ones defending qolshit now. The people who were actually willing to play the games never complained about that. Good pokemon being hard to get makes them valuable.

You're right, that's why shit like Pokegen and PKHax exists, because people loved the tedium of EV-training and grinding money to buy other TMs, and grinding levels, because everyone loved that so much.

"Quality of life" is just an excuse that journalists use to not have to actually play video games. It's the reason why everything is so babyfied and unfun. Most of everyone who's actually a fan of this series goes back and plays gen 1-4, and if they like SV or PLA it's because of the open world. Nobody will tell you with a straight face that their favorite games are Sword or Shield.
>Most of everyone who's actually a fan of this series goes back and plays gen 1-4
People play hacks of gen 1-4 that has QoL inserted in. They don't replay the actual gen 1-4.
Boomers over the years have proven how terrible they are at the real part of the game, battling, so they gatekeep dumb shit like the lack of QoL in old gens and call grinding and waiting around for time-based events the best parts of Pokemon.
t. started with Red, Stadium 2 is my favorite game.
There are people on this very board who still refer to videogames as "toys" like it's the 80s and 90s. There has to be at least one boomer on this board. Even if this board is speculated to have the most underages per capita.
Shit like speed-up and crap like EXP candies that some fangames have are dumb, speed-up is a feature that eventually kills your enjoyment of the game and making grinding effectively pointless is extremely dumb, I don't know what is it with a lot of fangames copying the moronic level cap system that I think originated with Insurgence, it's a shit mechanic that serves no purpose other than handicapping the player for no good reason. QoL is the literal definition of casualization and there's very few arguments in favor of it unless you're a braindead zoomer who can't be bothered to engage with the game you're playing and expects to be handed everything in a silver platter.
I actually like nugen quality life changes, but there is one issue. Can these frickers stop forcefully shoving that shit in my face? Good fricking lord. Like I am glad team building has never been easier especially with the introduction of EXP candies but can you not force shit like EXP share and affection and make that optional? My fricking god, the only people that like that are autistic iPad toddlers and quirky gamer girl wannabe bimbos that do nothing but mindlessly play candy crush and cut the rope. On top of the fact that we don't even get a full natdex of all the Pokemon to go with it, so it's essentially pointless. Don't get me wrong, QoL is great. It's like having Latina ass in my face. I love having Latina ass in my face. But I don't want Latina ass obscuring my vision 24/7.
to be honest with how easy it is to breed and raise Pokemon nowadays there really is no reason not to include the battle frontier again, but I think they wanna push more and more people towards the online which is both good and bad.
On one hand it's where Pokemon battling is at its peak since you're fighting someone who's presumably as smart as you and not a computer.
On the other hand it does mean that you see way less variation in builds since everyone just runs meta shit, a BF would be an opportunity to use comp teams in cool unique scenarios and have to figure out yourself how to build something that counters the gimmicks thrown at you in each facility.
Checked.
Multiplayer battles would also require an online subscription or real life friends with their own Switch and copy of the game, which some players can not or would not want to bother with.
>Features or improvements designed to make games easier and smoother to play without changing the gameplay itself. >easier
Imagine playing Pokemon and wishing it was easier, kekity toppity
>easier and smoother to play
Anon, a smooth gameplay experience means less clunk or tedium. Kinda like how the original Dragon Quest used to have a command to climb stairs but when it got updated, it implemented a QoL change to make the stairs work automatically.
There's a difference between wanting your game experience not to have unnecessary steps and wanting your game to have a reasonable challenge. You may as well protest things like running shoes or the idea of shortcut keys when the games gave you more buttons too if QoL is such a bad thing.
>I fricking love having to manually change boxes every time I catch more than 20 Pokémon and empty my bag where I get to a Pokémon Center it's so immersive! You don't like that? You're le Zoomer!
This is you
Correct, those are actual unironic quality of life changes. Every single piece of necessary quality of life was already there in DP. Everything after that is minor shit or casualization.
Changing boxes take a few sec, you do it once in a few hours and in the worst case 7 times in a playthrough. Meanwhile you'll spend several minutes going online searching for a rom to install because your smooth zoomer brain feels tortured by the sole idea of having to do a simple chose. You're not only lazy but also moronic, bravo.
do you morons also defend when really old rpgs made you open the menu and select "talk" or "check" instead of just clicking A on the thing you want to check or talk to
Yeah, now that I think about it, the second and third installments of mother were real convenient.
???
Mother 3 does have "press A to talk". And Earthbound, despite having a menu with those options, also has a "context button" (I think it was L) that does it.
You could press a context button in earthbound? my moronic ass.
Pokemon barely had this problem after Gen 2 when they started divying up Pokeballs, TMs and Key Items from the rest of the inventory.
Unless you're just running in blind with no regard for what you can sell or store in the PC you're very unlikely to have issues with the inventory in Gen 2 or 3 compared to Gen 1 or the Mother games.

Nah this is just wrong, inventory space was very much an issue in RSE as well. Less so in FrLg because they increased the size to 42 items. But in RS it's 20 like in gen 2 and in Emerald it's 30

Seconding this. I've hit the bag limit plenty of times. Bag limit isn't so bad, I can see an argument for resource management if you're going in a dungeon.

I could si that if it wasn't possible to store 99 of the same item but it is. If you have 99 revives and 99 full restores you pretty much have everything you will ever need. Bag limit in pokemon has always just been an annoyance honestly, at least the items you get should be automatically sent to the storage like in ColoXD so you don't have to go to the pokemon center and back in order to get an awakening on the ground

Hell while we're defending depreciated functions in games, why didn't Pokémon include commands for opening doors and entering stairs separately? Having the game do that for you is lazy.
Ironically DPPt removing the bag limit made the game more miserable to play because it means you need to scroll through a giant fricking list of items with the shitty slow UI.
This just got worse over time and now there's no easy fix. Every gen just adds more useless junk that fills your inventory. Items that serve no purpose other than to be sold have their own tab even.
I mean, there is.
Gen 5 introduced auto sorting so you don't have to worry about having to manually find and sort the stuff that's actually useful from the junk.
That doesn't solve the issue of the high amount of completely useless items. In this gen, they added drop items for every Pokemon to use for TMs. A number of those went unused, and the problem just got worse with the DLCs. There's no indication that there's no use for some of them, so those items just linger in your inventory. Or they would have until the game decided that all that worthless junk should be used to get you better worthless junk.
I always hate that they added the autosorting in gen 5 because it would accidentally trigger without confirmation and ruin my supreme schizo organization >Separated by item type (balls, stones, insence, battle held items, etc.) >Sometimes with subgroups (i.e. type-boosting held items, weather rocks) >sorted by name length within each group
>there's no easy fix
These games need way, way more bag slots to sort items. Like not only should there be dedicated bag slots for held items, but there should also be dedicated bag slots for specific sub types, like type boosting items, pokemon-specific items, plates, move-boosting items, battle-effect items.
The problem comes from dumping all 200 of those items I just mentioned into a single slot.
