I doubt it, they put so much effort in making models of all the Pokémon before Gen 6 so the 3D will stick they just need to make them more alive and more fluid.
Literally every release has had major issues. Let’s Go was easily the best looking game they’ve released but was a really watered down gameplay experience of gen 1 for the third time. SwSh was just hot garbage in every aspect. PLA looked like someone painted all the landscapes with feces and again had really watered down gameplay with simplified battling, no held items, natures, IVs, EVs, or abilities. ScVi is probably the buggiest release I’ve played on Switch and it looks like something that should have been on the GameCube in 2004. The Switch era for Pokemon has been SO sad.
@@razrv3lc yeah the switch era has been dog doodoo. I only made it halfway through the DLC for SwSh since it was so god damn boring and I didn’t even finish ScVi since I get eye strain while playing at 20 fps. I consistently go back to the 3DS and older games though because they are better than anything Gamefreaks released on the Switch and this includes legends arceus.
@@razrv3lc i think is funny how older fans are like "THIS THING SUCKS" while the kids are just having a blast xd to be fair i havent touched an oficial pokemon game after black and white tho, only fangames anf hackroms from time to time
Fr, every game after Usum just feels like walking simulator with a different aspect of the game focused on more than others. Swsh was just slop and scarlet and violet focused too much on graphics
Damn, Rescue Team DX didn't deserve that slander. That's like the one Pokémon Switch game I can wholeheartedly recommend because it isn't just NOT mainline slop, it's actually good-like a fine tuning of the 3DS Mystery Dungeon games, but done to recreate Red & Blue Rescue Teams
What’s so disappointing about Let’s Go is that if they hadn’t gutted it for Go mechanics, those could have been the definitive gen 1 remakes. They’re easily the best looking Pokemon games ever made, on par with New Pokemon Snap
This might be an unpopular opinion but I really like Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu! I also feel like the aesthetic of that game was peak for pokemon. Chibi, top down, with classic control. No shojen model, no free camera (which, let’s be honest, led to less polished environment)
I don’t think that’s really an unpopular opinion. The games were easily the best looking ones they’ve ever made. They just screwed it up so badly by putting Go mechanics in it.
@@razrv3lcI kinda liked these mechanics as someone who isn't a fan of go. Don't know it was fun and i would like to see this as it's own spin off franchise
Didn’t even realize this was an hour and a half long. Just watched the whole thing without pausing lol. It’s so sad the state of current pokemon. There’s so much potential that is just being squandered.
You wanna know the sad part? I know you are talking graphical and technical issues but the franchise is still consistently achieving high numbers heck BDSP unfortunately are the highest selling remakes of the franchise with Scarlet and Violet being third and Sword and Shield being second only behind OG Red and Blue
Legends Arceus while not a perfect game; was the only Pokemon game on the Switch that felt like it was made with passion. I really felt that in my playthrough and honestly the "watercolor" art style really carried the sub-par graphics and made them look better than they were.
And wow what a fall. Gen 9 is broken, and they released paid DLC that actively made the game perform even worse, and Poketubers kept telling people to eat it all up! I completely stopped watching Pokemon videos on RUclips, it got absolutely unbearable. This one I randomly stumbled upon. The Poke Ball that came with Let's Go is insanely uncomfortable, so it's definitely better using the drift-cons, I think it was kinda dumb not having an option for normal catching so the pro controller worked properly for it. A lot less people would've been upset. From there the problems just, grew. Sword and Shield had fun, but the online scene was quickly filled with hack raids and shiny max'd out mons people just, bought on ebay. That being said, it was still fun and the DLC was nice, though a bit overpriced for the content. After that it just got laughable. Disappearing shadows, 10-15fps, random collision issues, pop-in, and then they made DLC for THAT, and made it expensive, while the DLC actively broke the game more. What the actual hell happened?? They loved using the "We'd have to remake and reanimate them all!" excuse while putting in basically 3DS mons too. The romhack community isn't much an option for playing fan content lately either, A LOT of unwanted toxicity goes on for no reason from kids on their Android phones.
How did the DLC make the game perform worse? I’ve played over 1000 hours of Scarlet and Violet and never noticed this. For me, the game felt better after the DLC released than at the original release of the game in November 2022

Man if Pokemon let's go Pikachu and Eevee didn't have the Pokemon go mechanics in it, it would be probably my favorite remake in the series. The let's go mechanics we're okay for a first-time play through but I remember vividly while playing through the games I really wish that wild Pokemon battles were a thing.. they completely changed the XP system and what not.

@@metalfight1234this part. That was the standard in like 2015 for everyone else. I swear we’re all in an abusive relationship with Gamefreak and Nintendo lmao
I’ll never forget wanting to get back into a mainline Pokémon game since Gen 6, and I haven’t taken a game seriously since Gen 3. So I buy Violet on release only for it to be a buggy, laggy, just overall mess of a game. And then to make things even worse… a few months later, Metroid Prime Remastered came out and just absolutely curb-stomped the latest Pokémon games. Far more detailed graphics, 60fps, one of the few Nintendo games that isn’t retailing for $60. Before that game, I thought maybe the Switch hardware is getting too old. But while it is old, good development can get around those limitations and provide a quality product. Scarlet and Violet were not that. To say I was disappointed was the understatement of the decade.
Finally someone who understands that Pokemon's shortcomings arent because of the Switch hardware itself. If Zelda and Xenoblade can run fine then Pokemon has no excuse.
@@Exlayer-pk8hythis. There are plenty of good looking games that run decently on the Switch. Somehow Pokemon looks awful and is some of the worst performing games on the Switch at the same time. It’s so bizarre.
I’m tired of getting a new Gimmick every new generation. I was skeptical of mega evolution when it first came out but eventually it grew on me and I was eventually excited for it to be a staple feature of future games. Well how wrong I was and how disappointed I am now each new generation comes out now with a dumb gimmick that lasts one game.
What do you mean thank you game freak ever since sword and shield I became super skeptical and my fears were true with Scarlet and Violet It was complete shitshow and I'll never buy pokémon games from them ever again.
The narration and video quality was top notch. However, this was not what I expected when I clicked the video. I was ready for mostly opinions about the games. A better title would be “a complete timeline of Pokemon on Nintendo Switch”
Pokemon has probably had the least graceful transition to 3D out of all 2D only franchises baring maybe Sonic. You can trace a lot of the problems the franchise had all the way back to the 3DS with X&Y and makes me miss how good B2W2 and HGSS was.
DLC's for Pokemon games, after micropays for mobile games. I just will never accept that. Those are true cashgrabs. Back in the time these extras were NORMAL ingame! I hate greed!
The thing about palworld is that it was a "15 minutes of fame" situation, it released, made it's noise and now only a few months after no one is talking about it anymore soo...
Palworld is in early access and is more fleshed out than the last gen of Pokemon with more interesting gameplay and environments. It’s so bizarre how badly threatened Pokemon fans feel by it. I’m convinced most of y’all never even tried it because it genuinely feels more like Ark than Pokemon anyways lmao
The saddest thing is, in terms of game design i thoroughly enjoyed SV. Its just that it release in a broken state, performance is still lackluster and some textures are ps1 era.
This happened to me too. I’ve been playing other stuff that runs like games in 2024 should then I picked up Violet again and felt like I was getting motion sickness from how low the frame rates got in places like Lake Casseroya. It blows my MIND that they never released performance patches or actual bug fixes. These games run SO badly it’s not even funny.
I almost exclusively play my Switch in handheld mode and it’s so unbearable to play ScVi. Wish Nintendo would go back to two different systems, a handheld and home console. Since both systems became one Pokémon games haven’t been as good.
@@MIBxSpartan You know I actually haven't thought about that but I think you've got a point, I just wish all the deadlines for their games wern't so harsh, I feel if there was more time the games could be a lot better
The problem *IS* pokemon coming to the switch. Game freak just isn't used to producing full triple A console titles. And they're certainly not used to dropping them one after another. Pokemon losing handheld and being forced on to console is what ironically caused so much of the quality to dip. Although I will say the Pokemon Legends games, arceus and now z-a is a massive step in the right direction for pokemon on console. Just needs the competitive aspect of pokemon
Nintendo's aging hardware is no excuse for Pokémon. I mean look at Zelda, look at how tears of the kingdom can show the entire map without dropping fps and looking terrible. Zelda's visuals and fps proves that s&v are not held back by hardware
Tears took 4 or 5 years to make. Pokemon mainline takes 3-4 years please dont compare Zelda to pokemon. When Gamefreak cant 4 or 5 years to make. Zelda doesnt have a anime that is constantly airing...
Petition to make me a game freak employee: as your leader i shall bring back gen 1-3 back to the switch and make Pokemon great again. Thank you my friends.
You somehow managed to mispronounce some of the easier Pokemon names without batting an eye, but then perfectly pronounced Grafaiai's name under the assumption you mispronounced it. That's some skill. I don't know what kind of skill, but its a skill nonetheless.
To be honest, all I want from Gamefreak is a pokémon game that kind off looks like the Let’s Go games but plays as the Gameboy/DS era, but I guess we’re never going to see that again. I must say I really enjoyed playing Legends Arceus too, but graphically it couldn’t hold up, just like most of the rest of the 3D era games. But gameplay wise it was a fun game. I guess I just miss the old Pokémon games…
The state of the pokemon IP saddens me. I fell off after gen 3, and resumed with gen 8. Sword and shield were fun, and legends arceus was a blast throughout the pandemic. However after playing through scarlet and violet i lost that whole spark of enjoyment for pokemon. Regrettably I went into each pokemon presents hoping for something far more than DLCs and updates to the garbage mobile games. I felt particularly burned when gameboy, and gba were added to NSO and 3 pokemon presentations later, not a single gameboy gen was annouced whatsoever. How the hell are we getting gameboy emulators on NSO, yet the og games synonamous with gameboy are MIA. Tpc can shove their remakes, along with their DLCs Reflecting on how much of a slog mainline pokemon has become after replaying violet, and returming to gen 8s various games, has cemented my apathy towards pokemon. I find the IP as a whole to be unenjoyable I cant say whether things will change that actually shift my perspective, but i will have to wait and see.
I've actually bought those special edition Pokémon Let's Go Switch, pikachu edition that is. With the Pokeball controller. I truly LOVED playing Pokémon Let's go! Though, for Pokemon it was less good, as it made me stop playing Pokémon Go. Oh well good times.
I’m going to defend let’s go and bdsp with my life. The people who dislike it just wanted something “new” but I would MUCH rather buy shining pearl than a $100 pearl 💀 I think those remakes were for the younger generation or new fans to be introduced to older regions
@@JacksonCryder1228people say it is but to me it’s not that much different. The only difference is there’s more emphasis on Giratina in the very end of the story which you can still catch in Diamond and Pearl in Turnback Cave. I believe they added a few more Fire types too because Diamond/Pearl literally had like Infernape and one or two other fire type lines lmao. People say the game is sped up but I genuinely never noticed a difference between the two. All three Sinnoh games (and HeartGold and SoulSilver) all felt sluggish and is a big reason I haven’t played any in a while. That’s the ONE improvement that BDSP has-it’s not sluggish.
Seeing how GF didn’t learn from the backlash Sword and Sheild got and gave us…. scarlet and violet. Learning nothing. 🤣 And yet they sell more and more. This franchise is doomed.
I have a question, can 169 employees make a game for 3 whole years? And Also during covid 19, yeah BUT all tpci need is have more manpower so that mistake won't happened again.
The software feels like it's either reused or rebuilds. Wasted story or title progress. More than half of the content came for the Wii U, or older consoles.
Scarlet and Violet were buggy, but they were super fun. Sword and shield were just the least fun I've ever had playing pokemon. I actually couldn't finish the game because it was so boring
I. Actually agree I don’t really like sword and shield scarlet and violet are buggy but I never experienced any of them so I agreed that scarlet and violet are super fun to play
I think what hurts me more as a Pokémon fan was that for almost 2 years now, the Pokémon company has been very cocky with the constant reports from Nintendo,Gamefreak and the Pokémon community about the status of both Scarlet and Violet. For the past 2 Pokémon day's in February the Pokémon company has always started with the following statement: We hope that everyone is "still enjoying both Scarlet and Violet." We did receive 2 different public apologies,1 from Nintendo and 1 from Gamefreak about the status of Scarlet and Violet.
I'm still REALLY pissed that The Pokemon Company feels it's a good idea to nickel and dime us. It's just a slap in the face when we had a journey with our Pokemon. So they want to hold our friends hostage in Home until they have a region they can go to. It's just maddening. This whole thing of them making moves limited to one region as well is ALSO maddening. GameFreak, why did you favor the HAT PIKACHU over the COSPLAY PIKACHU?! That STILL has made me mad to this day. It's as bad, but not worse than Spiky/Notch Eared Pichu. GameFreak, *BRING THEM BACK!* Make Spiky a damn variant and make her EVOLVE. Make Cosplay Pikachu GET SUBTYPINGS. Also, DUDE, learn how to pronounce things. SO MANY ERRORS.
On the one hand I do hope they will not release a new Pokemon game this year, as it feels like then they will truly be giving us a good new game as they got the time now. But on the other hand I NEED a new Lets Go to actually be interested in Pokemon again.
The thought of: new console new hardware powerful use of components and ideas new games and graphical improvements . . . big let down on what it is being used on, and the online game play experience is still a shame, unless I am slightly away from my WiFi 😮
Aside from GF’s painfully obvious incompetence, their lack of passion and love for the series is…well, lacking. I’ve been a fan since day 1, and I genuinely disdain the current state of the franchise and the Stan-like fandom. Some people pin the blame on GF, others say Nintendo is at fault for allowing these games to be published, all valid criticisms. I personally blame the fans for voting with their wallets. After getting refunded for SV, I stopped purchasing games, merch, etc. I wish others would just follow suit.
Scarlet and violet was the last straw for me. I stopped playing after 3 gyms, avoided the dlc, sold my copy, and disregarded the pokemon presents when it went live. Heard about z-a from my friend through a text, and told me it was pretty much glorified concept art. It's a skip for me
@@Sobble_99that’s what y’all said about SwSh and then ScVi. How many times are you going to get burned until you realize they’re not going to release a good game?
Hmm.. i loved them all.. could they have improved performance? ..clearly.. but i did love the gameplay changes and everything i have seen.. i also play all of them regularly :/
I grew up during the hype when gen 1 first came out and started to lose interest during mid gen 2. I honestly don't like the excessive amount of Pokemon. Some new ones were cool but I found it ridiculous to see some pokemon are food-like or just useless. Then with the Switch seeing how well it was selling, I figured I might try to get back into again with S/V. I was sadden by the performance but that didn't let me down. I just feel that if I want to really get competitive and some pokemon aren't found in this region, seems like a pain to try because I would have to had follow up on all other games to get whatever missing pokemon I would like. Sure the DLC helps bring in many pokemon from previous games but feels like money grab for me.
Strangely, to me, it was immediately when the DS came out. From D&P on the emphasis on graphics and ‘epic’ designs stole the focus away from story/campaign development.
Criminally low views for such an incredibly detailed video, many of the quotes from Nintendo representatives I hadn't even heard before! Thank you for taking the time to source everything and include them in the video. Truly, great work! If I can offer one suggestion, sometimes it sounds like multiple audios are playing in the background at the same time and it really does not sound good at all. Liked and subscribed, looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel!
If Pokémon just took all the best features from each of these games they have a game worth buying again. I’m liking the legends series though, it just needs a competitive scene
There’s this video I saw, sorry I forgot from who, but it pretty much explained why “pokemon” cares so little about the games, first of all the games sell, and lot, second the Pokémon company makes 80-90% of their income from merch and licensing alone, the games represent barely a 10% of their total profit, so they basically treat each new game as a catalog for new merch
Think it more rise then fall then rise again! At least my thought for it, love gsmeboy ones but hate ds Pokémon but switch. And here only talking about rpg ones. For side games they rule in every system.
The new Pokémon games to me are just not as good as the old ones. I’ve got close to 400 hrs on ultra sun trading Pokémon from older gens and have multiple box’s of lvl 100s that I can’t even battle people with anymore.

Far more detailed graphics, 60fps, one of the few Nintendo games that isn’t retailing for $60. Before that game, I thought maybe the Switch hardware is getting too old. But while it is old, good development can get around those limitations and provide a quality product. Scarlet and Violet were not that.
To say I was disappointed was the understatement of the decade.
Finally someone who understands that Pokemon's shortcomings arent because of the Switch hardware itself.
If Zelda and Xenoblade can run fine then Pokemon has no excuse.
@@Exlayer-pk8hythis. There are plenty of good looking games that run decently on the Switch. Somehow Pokemon looks awful and is some of the worst performing games on the Switch at the same time. It’s so bizarre.
Bro died in 1998. RiP man. He never saw the original Pokémon.
I’m tired of getting a new Gimmick every new generation. I was skeptical of mega evolution when it first came out but eventually it grew on me and I was eventually excited for it to be a staple feature of future games. Well how wrong I was and how disappointed I am now each new generation comes out now with a dumb gimmick that lasts one game.
What do you mean thank you game freak ever since sword and shield I became super skeptical and my fears were true with Scarlet and Violet It was complete shitshow and I'll never buy pokémon games from them ever again.
The narration and video quality was top notch. However, this was not what I expected when I clicked the video. I was ready for mostly opinions about the games. A better title would be “a complete timeline of Pokemon on Nintendo Switch”
I appreciate your feedback!
“Nintendo has been known to fall behind consoles a bit” is an understatement.
Pokemon has probably had the least graceful transition to 3D out of all 2D only franchises baring maybe Sonic.
You can trace a lot of the problems the franchise had all the way back to the 3DS with X&Y and makes me miss how good B2W2 and HGSS was.
Bro’s never beaten a Pokemon game and he’s reviewing the history of the games?! 😂
3:22 WHAT IS THAT PRONUNCIATION
DLC's for Pokemon games, after micropays for mobile games. I just will never accept that. Those are true cashgrabs. Back in the time these extras were NORMAL ingame! I hate greed!
We will be getting a new mobile TCG game this year
"By issuing DMCA takedowns but not in the way you'd expect." Actually thats exactly what i expect.
Man this was a great entertaining video
Thanks for watching!
Palword was a DISS to Pokemon. It was the perfect example of how gamefreak/Nintendo fails us.
47:22 These are NOT remakes.
Then what are they?
The thing about palworld is that it was a "15 minutes of fame" situation, it released, made it's noise and now only a few months after no one is talking about it anymore soo...
What are you talking bout? People are going ham over the new pals
Palworld is in early access and is more fleshed out than the last gen of Pokemon with more interesting gameplay and environments. It’s so bizarre how badly threatened Pokemon fans feel by it. I’m convinced most of y’all never even tried it because it genuinely feels more like Ark than Pokemon anyways lmao
The saddest thing is, in terms of game design i thoroughly enjoyed SV. Its just that it release in a broken state, performance is still lackluster and some textures are ps1 era.
I really do love scarlet and violet for the story and aspects of gameplay, but damn can’t they make the game look and run half decent?
let’s go easily has the worst motion controls i’ve seen on any game
I went back to play some SV recently, and oh lord did I forget how bad it really was, I put it down near straight away, it runs so so badly
This happened to me too. I’ve been playing other stuff that runs like games in 2024 should then I picked up Violet again and felt like I was getting motion sickness from how low the frame rates got in places like Lake Casseroya. It blows my MIND that they never released performance patches or actual bug fixes. These games run SO badly it’s not even funny.
I almost exclusively play my Switch in handheld mode and it’s so unbearable to play ScVi. Wish Nintendo would go back to two different systems, a handheld and home console. Since both systems became one Pokémon games haven’t been as good.
@@razrv3lc Honestly, like we've both said I only realised how bad it actually is after being away from the game for a while
@@MIBxSpartan You know I actually haven't thought about that but I think you've got a point, I just wish all the deadlines for their games wern't so harsh, I feel if there was more time the games could be a lot better
The problem *IS* pokemon coming to the switch. Game freak just isn't used to producing full triple A console titles. And they're certainly not used to dropping them one after another. Pokemon losing handheld and being forced on to console is what ironically caused so much of the quality to dip. Although I will say the Pokemon Legends games, arceus and now z-a is a massive step in the right direction for pokemon on console. Just needs the competitive aspect of pokemon
Nintendo's aging hardware is no excuse for Pokémon. I mean look at Zelda, look at how tears of the kingdom can show the entire map without dropping fps and looking terrible. Zelda's visuals and fps proves that s&v are not held back by hardware
Tears took 4 or 5 years to make. Pokemon mainline takes 3-4 years please dont compare Zelda to pokemon. When Gamefreak cant 4 or 5 years to make. Zelda doesnt have a anime that is constantly airing...
Sword and Shield are two of my favourite games replayed them 19 times, sad maybe but I like them.
Petition to make me a game freak employee: as your leader i shall bring back gen 1-3 back to the switch and make Pokemon great again. Thank you my friends.
You somehow managed to mispronounce some of the easier Pokemon names without batting an eye, but then perfectly pronounced Grafaiai's name under the assumption you mispronounced it.
That's some skill. I don't know what kind of skill, but its a skill nonetheless.
To be honest, all I want from Gamefreak is a pokémon game that kind off looks like the Let’s Go games but plays as the Gameboy/DS era, but I guess we’re never going to see that again. I must say I really enjoyed playing Legends Arceus too, but graphically it couldn’t hold up, just like most of the rest of the 3D era games. But gameplay wise it was a fun game. I guess I just miss the old Pokémon games…
The state of the pokemon IP saddens me. I fell off after gen 3, and resumed with gen 8. Sword and shield were fun, and legends arceus was a blast throughout the pandemic.
However after playing through scarlet and violet i lost that whole spark of enjoyment for pokemon.
Regrettably I went into each pokemon presents hoping for something far more than DLCs and updates to the garbage mobile games.
I felt particularly burned when gameboy, and gba were added to NSO and 3 pokemon presentations later, not a single gameboy gen was annouced whatsoever.
How the hell are we getting gameboy emulators on NSO, yet the og games synonamous with gameboy are MIA. Tpc can shove their remakes, along with their DLCs
Reflecting on how much of a slog mainline pokemon has become after replaying violet, and returming to gen 8s various games, has cemented my apathy towards pokemon. I find the IP as a whole to be unenjoyable
I cant say whether things will change that actually shift my perspective, but i will have to wait and see.
Definitely try some of the DS era games if you haven’t already with the expecting of base dp there all great
You flat out missed out on the golden age of the franchise
Gen 3-5 were literally the peak of Pokemon lol
Eevee my fav🥰 great video! Helped me relax from the stress of work 😊
I'm so glad!
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are still the best. But that remake sucked.
I've actually bought those special edition Pokémon Let's Go Switch, pikachu edition that is. With the Pokeball controller. I truly LOVED playing Pokémon Let's go!
Though, for Pokemon it was less good, as it made me stop playing Pokémon Go.
Oh well good times.
I’m going to defend let’s go and bdsp with my life. The people who dislike it just wanted something “new” but I would MUCH rather buy shining pearl than a $100 pearl 💀 I think those remakes were for the younger generation or new fans to be introduced to older regions
Its still suck
Right! I never got to play pearl as a kid, so I’m enjoying it, rather than spending $120 on platinum for DS like bruh cmon now
I think BDSP's biggest issue is that they didnt balance the middle portion of the game very well.
@@Exlayer-pk8hy is platnuim that much better ?? If it is I’ll make the purchase just to have my own comparison.
@@JacksonCryder1228people say it is but to me it’s not that much different. The only difference is there’s more emphasis on Giratina in the very end of the story which you can still catch in Diamond and Pearl in Turnback Cave. I believe they added a few more Fire types too because Diamond/Pearl literally had like Infernape and one or two other fire type lines lmao. People say the game is sped up but I genuinely never noticed a difference between the two. All three Sinnoh games (and HeartGold and SoulSilver) all felt sluggish and is a big reason I haven’t played any in a while. That’s the ONE improvement that BDSP has-it’s not sluggish.
Seeing how GF didn’t learn from the backlash Sword and Sheild got and gave us…. scarlet and violet. Learning nothing. 🤣
And yet they sell more and more.
This franchise is doomed.
I have a question, can 169 employees make a game for 3 whole years?
And Also during covid 19, yeah
BUT all tpci need is have more manpower so that mistake won't happened again.
I loved pokemon legends...hopefully they make more and polish em up a bit...
The software feels like it's either reused or rebuilds. Wasted story or title progress. More than half of the content came for the Wii U, or older consoles.
Scarlet and Violet were buggy, but they were super fun. Sword and shield were just the least fun I've ever had playing pokemon. I actually couldn't finish the game because it was so boring
I. Actually agree I don’t really like sword and shield scarlet and violet are buggy but I never experienced any of them so I agreed that scarlet and violet are super fun to play
Yo! We got a full Russ vandy movie 🍿😎
🎉🎉🎉
I actually liked Sword and Shield, Last games I actually played it. But after that I did some sort of stop playing Pokemon.
YOU have YOURSELVES to blame. The only pokemon game I bought since Black/White 2 is Arcues.
I think what hurts me more as a Pokémon fan was that for almost 2 years now, the Pokémon company has been very cocky with the constant reports from Nintendo,Gamefreak and the Pokémon community about the status of both Scarlet and Violet. For the past 2 Pokémon day's in February the Pokémon company has always started with the following statement:
We hope that everyone is "still enjoying both Scarlet and Violet." We did receive 2 different public apologies,1 from Nintendo and 1 from Gamefreak about the status of Scarlet and Violet.
Honestly I didn’t mind the performance issues for sv
the interview was mistranslated btw
I'm still REALLY pissed that The Pokemon Company feels it's a good idea to nickel and dime us. It's just a slap in the face when we had a journey with our Pokemon. So they want to hold our friends hostage in Home until they have a region they can go to. It's just maddening. This whole thing of them making moves limited to one region as well is ALSO maddening. GameFreak, why did you favor the HAT PIKACHU over the COSPLAY PIKACHU?! That STILL has made me mad to this day. It's as bad, but not worse than Spiky/Notch Eared Pichu.
GameFreak, *BRING THEM BACK!* Make Spiky a damn variant and make her EVOLVE. Make Cosplay Pikachu GET SUBTYPINGS.
Also, DUDE, learn how to pronounce things. SO MANY ERRORS.
Remember tpci ceo wanted to move mainline Pokémon to smartphones. They never cared for quality. GF had no choice but to surrender
@@56ty_ Not cool.
Pokemon will never get better, I gave up.
Pokemon should go back to 2D pixels or cell shades art looking pokemon. Their 3D moddles are just terrible...
On the one hand I do hope they will not release a new Pokemon game this year, as it feels like then they will truly be giving us a good new game as they got the time now. But on the other hand I NEED a new Lets Go to actually be interested in Pokemon again.
The thought of: new console new hardware powerful use of components and ideas new games and graphical improvements . . . big let down on what it is being used on, and the online game play experience is still a shame, unless I am slightly away from my WiFi 😮
Aside from GF’s painfully obvious incompetence, their lack of passion and love for the series is…well, lacking. I’ve been a fan since day 1, and I genuinely disdain the current state of the franchise and the Stan-like fandom. Some people pin the blame on GF, others say Nintendo is at fault for allowing these games to be published, all valid criticisms. I personally blame the fans for voting with their wallets. After getting refunded for SV, I stopped purchasing games, merch, etc. I wish others would just follow suit.
I put down Scarlet to play Palworld. Pokémon needs to step it up.
Scarlet and violet was the last straw for me. I stopped playing after 3 gyms, avoided the dlc, sold my copy, and disregarded the pokemon presents when it went live. Heard about z-a from my friend through a text, and told me it was pretty much glorified concept art. It's a skip for me
It's still early just wait.
@@Sobble_99that’s what y’all said about SwSh and then ScVi. How many times are you going to get burned until you realize they’re not going to release a good game?
Also there are better games like sun and moon black and white and then platnum.
@@razrv3lc this is why i want generation 10 to be good, i'm going with low expectations ok.
My sister bought a Dialga Palkia switch lite, then provided to cover it up with stickers essentially mitigating the reason why she bought it.
Hmm.. i loved them all.. could they have improved performance? ..clearly.. but i did love the gameplay changes and everything i have seen.. i also play all of them regularly :/
Gamefreak is still trying to make 3ds style games on switch
Great content bro
Thanks 😁
@@RussVandy Pls Part for Legends ZA
Uh… Legends Arceus is mainline
But anyway, Great vid!
Good video👍
Thanks!
the perfeformence was just one of its problems i hate that you cant go in every buildning and that team star are just bullies from school
I love those trailers.
Please don't say rizz again
🤝
scvi was the game that stopped me playing so much... i picked it up again recently and remembered just how buggy it is
Knew exactly what I was in for when the two “and there’s some bad Pokémon” joke right at the top of the video was Vanillite and Trubbish.
I grew up during the hype when gen 1 first came out and started to lose interest during mid gen 2. I honestly don't like the excessive amount of Pokemon. Some new ones were cool but I found it ridiculous to see some pokemon are food-like or just useless. Then with the Switch seeing how well it was selling, I figured I might try to get back into again with S/V. I was sadden by the performance but that didn't let me down. I just feel that if I want to really get competitive and some pokemon aren't found in this region, seems like a pain to try because I would have to had follow up on all other games to get whatever missing pokemon I would like. Sure the DLC helps bring in many pokemon from previous games but feels like money grab for me.
Awesome video.
I loved KISS reference :P
No one will stop playing or buying.
Great video 🎉
Thank you 😁
That modern room in Pokemon Legends Arceus is the one the player character was in before Arceus sucks you out.
Nice video!
Thanks!
Bro, the downfall of the Pokémon games was loooooong before the Switch was even considered to be in existence.
I would say a little around the first mention because that’s when sun and moon came out
Strangely, to me, it was immediately when the DS came out. From D&P on the emphasis on graphics and ‘epic’ designs stole the focus away from story/campaign development.
Criminally low views for such an incredibly detailed video, many of the quotes from Nintendo representatives I hadn't even heard before! Thank you for taking the time to source everything and include them in the video. Truly, great work!
If I can offer one suggestion, sometimes it sounds like multiple audios are playing in the background at the same time and it really does not sound good at all.
Liked and subscribed, looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel!
If Pokémon just took all the best features from each of these games they have a game worth buying again. I’m liking the legends series though, it just needs a competitive scene
Definitely give S&V a try. Very unpolished yet full of heart. Some of the best in the series!
Mega Evos from XY ORAS, Pokemon following from LGPE, open world aspect of PLA, raid battles & PC Box anywhere from SwSh.
@@56ty_ THANK YOU! SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME FINALLY SAID IT. NOTHING IS PERFECT!
There’s this video I saw, sorry I forgot from who, but it pretty much explained why “pokemon” cares so little about the games, first of all the games sell, and lot, second the Pokémon company makes 80-90% of their income from merch and licensing alone, the games represent barely a 10% of their total profit, so they basically treat each new game as a catalog for new merch
Think it more rise then fall then rise again! At least my thought for it, love gsmeboy ones but hate ds Pokémon but switch. And here only talking about rpg ones. For side games they rule in every system.
The new Pokémon games to me are just not as good as the old ones. I’ve got close to 400 hrs on ultra sun trading Pokémon from older gens and have multiple box’s of lvl 100s that I can’t even battle people with anymore.
