      Yeah.
      And: Yes, yes, nice paid DLC - though I've seen way better. From Noob Programmers, sometimes.
      But the Main Games are just embarassing.
      ...Incapable of treating people like intelligent: that's the problem of modern Pokemon, Doctor Who and Star Trek.
      Especially Pokemon makes the excuse that they specialize on children, which not only ignored their actual Fanbase, but the really
      hilarious fact is:
      The children are annoyed too... yeah, really.
      I have seen children, unbiased and never part of an online-forum-battle, but fans of Pokemon still, seen
      playing Sword and Shield (well, only Shield, but you know what i mean) and they stop dead in their track
      sometimes and ask "What is up with Gamefreak?"
      Especially with such scenes like the Hotel Scene, where your babies like no baby ever deserves.
      There is just no excuse for this. Even little children, who are not the most of the players, stop and wonder
      what this nonsense is.
      All this seems a Trend. Humanity gets dumber.
      Multiple Franchises are basically burning right now,
      and lets not forget all the Issues around Netflix, that
      rightfully costs them Subscribers.

      'Buddymon' is his project and he says he's ready
      to put as much money as needed into it,
      even if he becomes broke for a while.

      amazing, outstanding games with better storys than ANY Main-Game,

      Generation 4 and 5 were the Hight of the Franchise, 5 just had a weird start. People didnt instantly realized how good it is, but it still was and now people even get that.

    • @GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH
      @GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH 4 года назад

      I think part of the problem is that a huge part of the playerbase *can't* grow up - anytime a new game comes out a bunch of dudes from the 90's crawl out of the woodwork to ask where Charizard is.

    • @SinTense643
      @SinTense643 3 года назад

      ​@@slevinchannel7589 L Lawliet is right. Also, coming back later doesn't really matter in terms of marketing. Pokemon is having less sales in younger audiences and they want that back, because mature audiences grow out of things and thus the sales decrease. This explains their choices as of late.
      You know... I have a lot to say about gen 5 and its sudden love now, so the upcoming text is a bit long, you have been warned.
      You know that people used to call me a dumb idiot for liking gen 5 back in the days? I'm serious, I went through so many years thinking I had a horrible taste in pokemon due to the amount of shit that was thrown over me by the internet and even by f*cking friends when I defenden gen 5 back then. I was always scared for those questions "what's your favourite gen?'" and the amount of judgement I got when I admitted it was gen 5. And now I know that the hate on gen 5 wasn't justified at all from the very beginning: it was just people not liking change and jumping on the bandwagon to hate it.
      So why does everyone suddenly loves it now, what made them realize they were good? Easy. Because it's not a trend anymore. The recent games, with SwSh in particular, are the new scapegoat because of the amount of problems they have. If it weren't for that, gen 5 would still be the most hated gen - it took a game full of problems to make people realize how polished and good the gen 5 games really were. And that's fine, you can change opinions, you can realize things only later. But now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon again, and saying that gen 5 games were the best. Comments and streams are filled with positivity and when someone says otherwise, they are suddenly called uncultured swines again? Yeah, f*ck off. I hope everyone enjoys the games and realize they were wrong and start forming their own opinions from now on.

    I need to stop watching those SWSH reviews, I get mad every time. Not mad really, just disappointed. Pokemon games have such a big potential for immersion and I see fantastic ideas all over the place, but Gamefreak seems to never listen to fans and stick to the same patterns again and again. They even made good things in the past, just to remove them for no reason. I'm a pokemon fan since red/blue, I didn't buy Let's Go and USUM, this time I was like it's gonna be on the switch it must be a good game... unfortunately it is not. In the end, I guess I'm wrong because they make a butt load of money from this.

      I totally feel you. I can recommend Pokémon Colosseum, it’s a spin off made by Genius Sonority for GameCube. It’s demanding, difficult and has a quite dark story (for a Pokémon game). The fact it only uses double battles makes it a lot more strategic. For the future I’m hoping for strong competitor in this genre. Temtem doesn’t seem to be what I’m looking for. I don’t want another game that starts by waking up in a small town living with your single mom...

      Actually here is an interesting add on to that. Gamefreak does not make pokemon models and animations. Creatures inc does. Creatures inc also made the ones in the genius sonority games meaning the potential for higher levels of quality models and animations always existed.
      The battle revolution game also uses their own future proof models like what gamefreak promised starting with gen 6 models, but then stated they had to remake all models and animations in Sw/Sh instead of porting them again. All gen 1-2 pokemon were from the stadium games, while gen 3 pokemon were from the coliseum games. So yea a lot of their excuses were just half assed crowd control used to rein in the crowds that wouldn't bother fact checking a single claim.

    "A battle where we're meant to lose" This is something I think Pokemon has been missing for a long time. Even going backwards into the better gens, I feel like there's very few trainers who are deliberately overpowered as fuck. When an antagonist or champion or whatever is bigged up as being this hyper-powerful figure, I want the battle with them to be something I genuinely struggle to win. In B/W and B/W2, when I face Ghetsis, I want him to have at least late 50s Pokemon and his Hydreigon should be 64-66. I want a fight that I have a good chance of losing. I want gym leaders with Pokemon that are considerably stronger than mine. Most of all though, I want more intelligent AI that actually switches Pokemon frequently, uses the right moves and uses items effectively. At the very least, I think gym leaders and the elite four, as well as the team boss should have at least EV perfect Pokemon, and even better if they are IV perfect as well. These people are meant to be strong as a job, I'd like to think they actually invest time in building strong Pokemon.
    I'm sick of winning every single battle ever. I want to lose at least once to most gym leaders. Winning first time round should feel like an accomplishment instead of the norm. Just winning all the time without a real challenge doesn't feel much different to cheating.

      What's worse is that the games constantly try to make a big deal out of the gym leaders etc. Especially Sword & Shield where all gym leaders are basically celebrities and have a whole stadium behind them and then you just oneshot everything with no effort. There's so many fundamental immersion breaking things like this that makes the game incredibly dull and implausible..
      You don't even have to train your pokemon anymore... They literally evolve in your party without being used once in some cases. How does that make any sense? Immersion broken yet again.

    You've stepped on my nerd rune... Regarding the gym leaders only using a certain number Pokemon of a certain level; This is explained by Brock in Origins. He chooses two of his lowest level Pokemon because it's his job as a leader to test new trainers. Misty, as the next leader, would be the first leader to test a trainer's progression. It makes perfect sense *IF* it's properly explained, which no game has ever done!
    This ties in perfectly with the after-game of Platinum and Kanto portion of Gen.2, where leaders have much larger teams with much higher level Pokemon and some even use strategies such as setting up Stealth Rock on the first turn.
    SwSh made me so mad when I realized that it was just going to follow the same old copy & paste train track progression system where all the leaders are fought in a set order. Imagine if we could go to any town and challenge the leaders in any order and they choose their teams according to your own trainer level - yes, trainer level. A new leveling system that tracks the trainer's level and not just the Pokemon they use.

In the DP anime it's made clear that the E4 members often challenge the champion for the title.

      Yes, yes, nice paid DLC - though I've seen way better. From Noob Programmers, sometimes.
      Incapable of treating people like intelligent: that's the problem of modern Pokemon, Doctor Who and Star Trek.
      Especially Pokemon makes the excuse that they specialize on children, which not only ignored their actual Fanbase, but the really
      hilarious fact is:
      The children are annoyed too... yeah, really.
      I have seen children, unbiased and never part of an online-forum-battle, but fans of Pokemon still, seen
      playing Sword and Shield (well, only Shield, but you know what i mean) and they stop dead in their track
      sometimes and ask "What is up with Gamefreak?"
      Especially with such scenes like the Hotel Scene, where your babies like no baby ever deserves.
      There is just no excuse for this. Even little children, who are not the most of the players, stop and wonder
      what this nonsense is.

      Ikr! Personally my favorite pokemon are Chandelure and Lucario, so it would be really, really awesome for this to happen. Instead of your partner pokemon, the pokemon that's supposed to be closest to you the whole game, being either a fire or water type (be honest, the last few grass types haven't been super cool). Because honestly, they're not my favorite types (quote mentioning my favorite pokemon in the beginning) and part of the time I dont even have the basic 3 types on my team! Also, one of the reasons I was really interested in pokemon eevee/pikachu is because how you meet your partner is in the grass. Because, like in the video, it's become generic and unearned to just randomly get a choice between three pokemon. Grass. Fire. Water. Especially since their not super effective on most of the following gyms. Only the first three. It would be way cool to be able to form a pokemon bond with a pokemon your really attached to when you first see it.

Marnie being your main rival as you start from Spikemuth would've been much more compelling. Bede being the Galarian Gary Oak that's always ahead of you both and makes sure to let you know everytime you meet (overall have him more involved in the plot as well) until eventually he faces you in the champion cup. Like you said they should allow the protagonist to lose battles to rivals. Take it even further and make Bede 6-8 levels above your team to increase difficulty of his rival battle and for god sakes give him a diverse team that doesn't get 6-0'ed by grimmsnarl. If you do manage to beat Bede his disbelief will feel genuine and your victory earned each time. This alone would've made a more interesting story without even touching anything else.

    I hate how Spikemuth is so much of a corridor, honestly. I’ve seen no one mention it, but seriously. There’s no reason at all to go back to it, not even the most barebones reason. You just go through a straight line. That’s the *ENTIRE CITY.* You can’t even go into a single house. Nope. It really sucks, because I’d love to explore the city, I wish you could see what the normal citizens of Spikemuth are like. For example a mom of one of the crazy fans that’s like “what the fuck is my son doing, Nani?” Instead of what we got. Just a straight line. It makes me so sad and Piers and Marnie are so much my favorites in this game, but their city gets nothing. No goth clothing, or culture, or normal people. It’s just sad...

    As much as this would be a small change and still probably wouldn't redeem how boring the wild area is, but why not have migration or something. Certain pokemon in certain months, either do it like black and white or do it in real time. Maybe you could have an Alolan Pokémon that only shows up in one season/month, a lot like how Ring Necked Parakeets migrate here to the UK(although to be fair, they practically live here now - I'd know because they live in my area). I mean it would definitely add a little bit more British flavour, even if it is very niche.

    You forget the 300$/€/... for a switch console, if someone's only playing Pokémon as one and only franchise. So you need a switch (300bugs), Pokémon Sw or Sh (60), Nintendo membership (15), Pokémon Home (15), Pokémon Bank (5), Expansion pass (30). Makes 425 bugs for the full experience with only Sword or Shield.
    And people got upset about Us/Um, where everyone had the option to skip Su/Mo and wait a short year for the "third version" to get the full experience for only 45 (€ in my case) for the game (85€ for both) and Pokémon Bank and that's it.
    Back in Gen7, I didn't like the Alola-games that much, compared to previous gens, but the only good thing Sw/Sh did for me was that I appreciate the Alola-games even more and love them by now.

Eventually you run into Hop and he finds out you want to try and beat Leon so he makes it his mission to beat you as he can tell you could actually defeat his brother if you wanted to. After beating Hop multiple times he becomes deflated and quits the league, going on to become Sonia’s assistant and eventually contacting you about the legendary dogs being spotted in the Weald. Throughout the story, you pick up on Rose’s true intentions of trying to use Eternatus as a source of unlimited power and giving him the ability to expand his reach via fear and his status. You can actually participate in the dynamax Pokemon attacking cities as they pop up while you are right there in the city or you go in place of Leon bc he was busy with champion things. Also, you have people that actually recognize you and will run up to you to battle or so on even after the main story (looking at you paid DLC).

    Gen 5 was the Gen that gave the most Pokémon out of every region, giving us great Pokémon in each type (including Bug Type which always got weak Pokémon). Gen 5 actually cared about the characters and story, giving us the best evil team, the best Gym Leaders (who are actually play a part in the story), and some of our best rivals that are not one dimensional friends or jerks. They also pushed the DS to its limits with their graphics and sound. You could tell that GameFreak our in a lot of effort on BW and BW2.
    However, the fans complained about how trash this gen was because of the ice cream and garbage Pokémon. They complain that they are forced to use Unova Pokémon in BW1, even though in the previous 4 Gens, Magikarp, Zubat, Abra, and others have all made appearances in every single game. They say that the characters are annoying and hypocritical, when DP’s characters are way more annoying and unnecessary. So, BW sales underperformed.
    And after XY and SM outsold BW, GameFreak knew they don’t need to try anymore. They gave a lot of effort on BW and it underperformed. They didn’t try as much on XY or SM and it outsold BW. By the time SS was coming out, they knew it will sell and they didn’t even try with anything from the Dexit, the badly rushed Story, the bad animation and textures, to selling an uncompleted game for $60 with DLC to get some older Pokémon back. And guess what? It worked! It sold. GameFreak knows they don’t have to try anymore because anything they put out, the fans will buy it. They don’t have to take anymore risks or try anything new like BW did after it underperformed. They could keep repeating the same game and it will keep selling. They don’t have to make a good Pokémon Game because they know it will sell. That’s why there was no Pokémon Z because 3rd Versions don’t sell as well as a new generation. This will keep going on with the massive success of Sword and Shield.

Those games aren’t as easy as you think, and yes, Nintendo DOES cater to the competitive scene. I also don’t understand how you say you only need one or two Pokémon to win the game. That’s not how it works, in the better games, it is impossible to beat the game with 1-2 non-legendary Pokémon. Also, YES, Pokémon does require strategy, in competitive. Have you ever tried to be good at competitive? I can assure you, that at 500 straight wins in ORAS Battle Maison, that it definitely requires strategy. So try doing some research on the other games, and not just this disaster of a product

You actually need to keep a bunch of TemTem around your current level to handle different situations, and they use a stamina system instead of PP. So people can't just spam their strongest move.I do admit, competitive has a lot of challenge, although certain things like Stealth Rocks make a lot of popular types unviable, since they pretty much lose half health upon entering.

    In Sun and Moon Lusamine literally says what do you do with a useless pokemon, you get rid of it (paraphrasing). And we are supposed to feel shocked and angry at her for saying that, but thats how the game makes you play.
    Like if I like Luvdisc I should be able to use a damn Luvdisc, or how many times you'd have to restart for a good stats starter instead of being able to train it up to where you want it (this has been remedied somewhat but used to be a big issue)

    People bashing Sun and Moon in the past is the reason why Gamefreak stop trying with Sword and Sheild.
    Sun and Moon has :
    -Decent story after Black and White/bw2
    -Team skull concept is original
    -You’re being the first champion is original
    -crazy person as the main boss villain which is also the first women boss villain
    -Gladion edgy pose is very iconic and we don’t even have anyone with an iconic pose in SwSh
    And SwSh have none of the things I listed

    @31:52 Actually, there's a story explanation for it. Gym leaders will use different teams depending on how many badges you have. If you have no badges, they'll purposefully use weaker teams, etc. This is shown in the Red/Blue anime, where Brock is about to pull out his most powerful team, but upon realizing that you have no badges, he instead pulls out a weaker team on purpose. Milo is doing the same thing. The 6 Pokemon on his holders are his most powerful team, but he's using a weaker team on purpose because you have no badges.

    if they made it to where the animation for dynamax changed based on how desperate the situation is or even a different animation for gigantimax it'd be awesome
    like for dens at first it'd be cranked to max desperate because you have only one pokemon and this other pokemon which "overpowers" you is wild, not even tamed but slowly you become more sure until its just base anim
    gigantimax it'd change based on the gigantimax (like toxtricity would be like, more cocky or smthn and shit like melmetal would be like "struggling to hold let alone throw"
    like it'd change if you had one pokemon or six, if the battle is hard or not, (grass gym would be normal anim and champion fight would be again, cranked to max)
    but as a whole its a baby game so this wouldnt work plus its kind of a cashgrab
    23:01 about this, THEY HAVE EVERYTHING.
    THEY HAVE PIERS FOR YOUR STARTER, MARNIE FOR YOUR RIVAL, AND TEAM YELL GRUNTS FOR EXP.
    THEY HAVE EVERYTHING TO MAKE THIS AND YET THEY JUST DONT
    TLDR: gamefreak is lazy and doesnt take into account anything the fanbase wants, like how did shuckle get in but not shit like gible

    Am I the only one who has wanted a pokemon game where the character is an adult or teen who Doesn't live in the smallest town in the region, but maybe the central hub city and you can decide which gym leader to oppose for the first four maybe.
    AI determines the lvl and pokemon the first 4 leaders would use based on your pokemon lvls and then it's pretty much linear for the last four gyms. I enjoy the idea of the Last Gym Leader being some Elite 4-esque lvl trainer like Clair, or Drake, or Blue.
    I'm also exhausted at the idea of an evil team. Just give us a bunch of pokemon thieves and robbers and maybe a small rocket-esque syndicate that you can choose to avoid, take on or even join, as this new pokemon game has multiple choice answers to dialouge now that can determine wether I'll be a good or bad trainer... Hell, even your pokemon, depending on their nature or the pokemon itself, could leave you if you go bad.. Imagine having a clefairy or chansey as a bad/evil trainer 😂😂😂

Now, I realise just little I care that so few of them ARE in the base game.

    The most commendable part of this masterpiece of the video is your strength-based approach for suggestions. You don't just rag on the game's faults but talk about what was done well and how to focus the game on it and expand it. The section on Marnie and her town is singlehandedly the best and most unique discussion about Pokemon on RUclips. Most people focus on gameplay only, you addressed more than just story.

    So there's a point I agree with and a point I disagree with.
    I disagree with the idea that the first gym leader should have 6 pokemon because while it's true most players would have caught 6 or more Pokemon by that point, it's not guaranteed they're being used. I catch what I can, but I store everything I don't use because it's easier to manage a team if you pace it slowly, matching what gym leaders (should) do. Temtem tried the 6v6 asap approach and I got burnt out fast.
    I agree with what would make Home cool because I was saying the same thing before Home launched, at least for the most part. If Pokemon Home was more like a more in depth version of Pokemon Dream World, it'd be fine. It should have been the 'core' of Pokemon instead of just another bank. Some app I can open up to still play with my favorite Pokemon instead of just keep them there until a game decides to let me bring them there instead.

      Me too. Why can't we be given a choice of being a kid, teen, or adult? It's the *8th* generation for crying out loud! Why can't we look like our real selves, our real ages? I've been a fan since Gen 3, but I'm so disappointed in the series now. This, Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, and US/UM are the games I currently don't have nor ever want in my collection. All I have are four games left and I'm still having more fun with the older generations than I am with regular Sun/Moon and this one. That's plain sad.

It’s just sad that I’ve been playing Pokémon since I was 7 starting with Red and yellow. I’m now 24 and still being forced to play as a 10 year old. I’d even be fine with non customizable character models with multiple ages to chose from .

    (Going to sort of repeat some of the points you made here but just to explain how I felt playing) As someone who comes from the same type of background in the UK they were going for with Marnie and her brother I wholeheartedly agree with your points on that. I was particularly disappointed because not only did they reserve this angle entirely for NPCs but they never even give Marnie and Piers that much attention anyway, I kept feeling like they were going to build on it but then by the end of the game it felt like Marnie just dropped off the face of the earth and Piers just stops really mentioning any of their problems. Honestly Marnie and Piers were so relatable and well done that even with the meagre treatment they got, they were some of my favourite characters in the series, so it's disappointing to imagine how good they could have been if they and their situation had been fully realised.
