Paldea’s time in the limelight is nearing its end and we’re just a few months away from returning to France and saying goodbye, so let’s talk about what the region did well, and what could’ve been better.

I’ll go first:
>best story in the series
>solid pokedex
>iberianfag here so i’m naturally more biased but enjoyed the real life inspirations
>area zero was pure kino
>relationship with the raidon felt organic and they’re great legendaries

things i disliked:
>ugly npcs for the most part
>violet paradoxes are mostly terrible
>uninspired shinies
>tera mechanic not executed very well in game and a bit lackluster

>>58039789 (OP)
I'm afraid they aren't gonna top Koraidon and Miraidon ever. They were basically your other starter and you are constantly relying on their abilities to move around the world, how are they gonna make me care about a legendary as much as I did for my super iguana doggo?

Probably one of the worst regions, it was barely an improvement from swoosh not like that means anything
I think like gen8 the dlc saved it, I just don’t think Spain was that interesting for a region, nor did it have the best biomes desu
Definitely not the worst region but .. largely forgettable. Legends felt like lazy rehashes of former ones, fighting and electric dragons just felt like weird types to me
Terra is probably one of the worst gimmicks to be seen
Hopefully gen10 is a comeback

>>58039789 (OP)
>what the region did well
Glitches.
>what could’ve been better
Everything.

>>58040123
This is the thread of people who actually played SV

>>58040123
The game literally never glitched for me and I have 400h of playtime. Why do you shit on a game you obviously never played? What do you gain from that? You're wasting your time.

>>58039789 (OP)
I don't think they'll ever manage to make a better rival/friend group. I fucking love these guys so much. The overall story with the 'raidons and the professor was pure kino, too. I really enjoyed it, I wish I could experience Area Zero for the first time again.

Honestly, all the game really needed was more polish. The graphics and performance were straight up embarrassingly bad. There was also tons of clipping in the terrain, Pokémon constantly spawning in walls etc.
It needed at least one more year in the oven. Fix the terrain and spawns, make some more varied biomes (at least use a different shade of green sometimes), make better terrain textures that tile better, correct some color values, especially for the Pokémon. If they did that plus put more effort into making the open world more engaging and put some more work into the Team Star segment, it could've been a 10/10 contender.
Oh, and I really hated how half-assed the Treasures of Ruin quest was. You don't get any pointers, just "Yeah you gotta find the stakes, good luck bro you're not getting any hints lmao". And the fact that the screen just fades to black instead of showing at least a little animation where it crumbles and vanishes is ridiculous. It's such a waste, especially cause they are such a fucking cool set of legendaries.

But despite the obvious flaws, I'm still really gonna miss Paldea, and I'm sad to say goodbye. SwSh was a huge disaster and left a really bitter taste in my mouth, so I was lucky that I even bothered with SV in the first place. But I'm glad that I did because it actually made me like Pokémon again.

>>58040123
i struggle to imagine what the person who made this image was expecting to find in an open world pokemon game
like yeah? of course there are items all over the place? what else would you even put in that isn't already there
>inb4 le trainers
the game already has those all over the place
i've got nearly 800 hours on this game and i'm still finding trainers i missed during my initial playthrough
>inb4 le landmarks
there are tons of those as well

>>58039789 (OP)
>relationship with the raidon felt organic and they’re great legendaries
Ok I gotta call bullshit there because it is highly contrived that a legendary pokemon would befriend a child Trainer on their first day because they fed them a sandwich.

I get they have to allow the player their mount but I think it would've been better to have the player use a Cyclizar first, and get the legendary later on as their own achievement.

>>58041295
>t is highly contrived that a legendary pokemon would befriend a child Trainer on their first day because they fed them a sandwich.
The legendary pokemon doesn't even become your friend just because you feed him a fucking sandwich he literally just goes away by his own after eating it and noding in respect

>>58041295
Not when they revealed the Raidon in question was a docile individual compared to others of its species, that it had been socalised with children prior and seemingly shared sandwiches made by Arven when he took care of it initially. If it was a straight "mon bonds with kid fresh out the time portal", yeah it'd be a bit iffy. But from the revealed backstory, it makes sense why the harangued hungry raidon would bond with a kid that fed it sandwiches, as it experienced being fed sandwiches by a kid before.

>>58039789 (OP)
Good riddance. Time for some more Legends kino

>>58041295
>he doesn't know the deep sandwich lore
The Raidon loves sandwiches because Arven fed them to it when it lived with him and the professor at the Poco Path lighthouse many years ago.
The Raidon came back specifically to that lighthouse because it was overwhelmed by the trauma of what happened in Area Zero, and the lighthouse was the only other place it knew and would feel safe in.
Sandwiches comfort it because they remind it of a happier time, when its beloved professor was still alive and before the other Raidon arrived. That's why it could briefly power through its trauma and temporarily transform to its fully powered form after (You) feed it your sandwich. It felt thankful for you helping it, which is why it saved you from the Houndoom.
The Raidon is very docile, perhaps just by nature but also because of how the professor loved and cherished it. It misses them, it wants to have a bond with a human. So it bonds with (You).

It makes perfect sense. Play the game before complainin about it.

>>58039789 (OP)
Unfortunately, Paldea doesn't share enough DNA with Hisui. It's an open-world game with three main quests that players can progress in any order, which is new for the series. The Paldea Pokédex, with its pictures showing how each species behaves in the wild, was one of my favorite features. The "Let's Go!" feature was a big improvement over the garbage we had in SwSh and PLA; we can finally have our following Pokémon out anywhere. The Picnics... nah, Camp was definitely better in that regard. Crafting TMs kinda sucks and basically throws away a decade of quality of life improvements. But the real catch is how Paldea's decisions work against the classic turn-based battle system instead of in its favor. Every single aspect of Pokémon battles is worse in SV compared to every other Pokémon Switch game. We can't skip animations anymore, and the animations all became visually less interesting. Despite not having random encounters anymore, you can enter Pokémon battles accidentally very easily because your ride can cover up what's in front of you, paired with the game's low draw distance. Pokémon that had unique animations when performing certain moves might not have them anymore. And the most important thing, in my opinion, is that they made catching boring again. The Pokédex went back to a single #1-#400 listing, you don't have the overworld catching mechanics from PLA, and there are no research tasks or any sort of direct feedback reward system like with the Habitat List and DexNav. Catching is just there, and this is incredibly frustrating because there's no point in having overworld encounters or any of that open-world stuff if you're going to half-ass the main appeal of these features like that. Paldea tries to be something fresh, but its old foundation holds it back. I think Hisui was more of a tech demo than a complete game and has a massive lack of content, but I feel like it did more with less. I don't care about story but it's fine.

>>58040850
it's a cope image for gameboybabs who think in older games every route had a frontier and 30 legendaries

>>58040796
NTA but I played on release and got most of the memeworthy glitches happening to me. Things like sliding backwards up cliffs, character models and animations stretching and fucking up, etc. All on a regular console with a legit cart. Afaik they fixed most of it, but it absolutely did happen

>>58039789 (OP)
Did well
>some, not many, but some new Pokémon are good looking, in my opinion
>I like Katy and Geeta
That's pretty much it honestly

Did Poorly
>game world looks ugly, with tiled textures, weird lighting, and a flat look
>has the same Gen 7-esque problems with dialogue, aka walking ten feet before another cutscene, and another, and another. At least it stops when you get into the open world again.
>movement physics on your motorcyclemon feel awful and cause weird interactions with objects like rocks, trees, and ruins. This has never been fixed.
>rendering, lighting, and pop-in issues all the time, even years after release.
>Pokedex doesn't lag anymore, but the map and minimap still do despite being a UI element.
>story and characters complimenting to an infantile degree, like the player saying "Yes!" instead of "Yes," and characters will comment on your delivery as if they can gauge your entire personality.
>EXP scaling is fucked, even constantly switching out Pokemon with new ones and never fighting random Trainers, I was STILL overleveling Gym Leaders because catching new Pokémon gave me EXP. Please let me turn that shit off.
>game rarely has actual interiors for buildings, just menus or transitions to separate rooms like the Academy building. Seriously cut corners here.
>world in filled with constant items to pick up, giving the player far too many resources
>Cut staple features from previous games but that's nothing new at this point and it would be beating a fossilized horse.

Worst game in the series no doubt. Enjoy it all you want, but this game convinced me to never give this company another cent.

Thanks for reading.

>>58040850
the point is that it's nothing that we didn't already have in routes in linear games, making the open world completely pointless since it doesn't actually add anything to the experience

>>58041334
Yup pure kino. All the seething in the world won’t change that.

>>58041495
It adds that you can go catch Sneasel before first gym

>>58041501
how is that something you couldn't do in a linear game

>>58041502
Ask Gamefreak

>>58041497
>Yup pure kino.
On opposite day

>>58041503
gamefreak didn't make the claim, you did, so defend it

>>58041506
Gamefreak made the games where you couldnt get Sneasel before the first gym not me.

>>58041509
that doesn't mean it's not possible, just that they chose to not do it. am I being baited? you can't actually be this dense, right?

>>58041518
>they didn't do it
Yeah that's what i said.

>>58041521
no it wasn't.

>>58041524
So they had Sneasel catchable before first gym?

>>58041529
yes

>>58041532
I aren't think that

>>58041535
too bad

>>58041488
>story and characters complimenting to an infantile degree, like the player saying "Yes!" instead of "Yes," and characters will comment on your delivery as if they can gauge your entire personality.
This is a drastical improvement over previous entries though. At least you can SHOW some personality instead of being some weird mute autist who can only say "yes" and "no" and somehow still be loved by anyone you interact with.

I’m convinced you have to be blind, dead, and retarded to enjoy any aspect of these games
I’m genuinely impressed that they managed to make something worse than Galar

>>58041593
The worst kind of criticism is criticism that involves one person not liking something so therefore thinking that there must be some dishonesty in attestations of other people liking it. It's pure narcissism.

>>58041593
I meant deaf, but dead works too

>>58040123
Lol, someone saved my pic from years ago

>>58041593
Can you make a list of things you disliked about the game or can you only say "The game is 100% bad" because you didn't actually play it?

>>58041594
>>58041612
samefagging shill

I really enjoyed Scarlet and it's probably because I didn't even attempt to play it until the Switch 2.

I've still had a few bad lag spikes while loading resources, but for the most part it's a pretty game despite the bad LoD and render distance (it is a Switch game after all). Terastellization is the best gimmick so far: it's not just a strict upgrade for certain Pokemon like megas, and it's not as powerful as Dynamax; but adds an additioinal layer of skill expression when team-building which adds some counterplay.

It's a lot easier to breed and train pokemon with abundant ability patches and bottle caps via Tera raids. The story was decent; I really enjoyed the parts with Koraidon and Arven's Mabostiff; and Nemona was a good rival. Area Zero and the paradox past pokemon were really cool. The plots with the professor professor and Team Star weren't as interesting to me.

The classes at school felt like a chore; and the music there was grating; also I felt there was a little too much freedom in terms of where to go next: some of the gyms I ended up being over-leveled for and would have preferred some level scaling to keep it more challenging for a first play-through.

>>58039789 (OP)
I'm fucking glad this Gen is almost over, it was such a bore

>>58041614
Just say "no", retard.

>>58041631
you mean like you should have said to game freak when they approached you to run PR for them on a cambodjan basket weaving board? for free, no less?

>>58039789 (OP)
I liked the characters (Dendra my beloved), most of the pokemon and the stories were pretty good
The game was way, way too easy though

>>58041650
Also crappy landmarks

>>58041612
The game is just generally bad and I don't care to make a list.
There's genuinely nothing "good" about it that isn't just superfluous eye-candy like being able to control your pokemon in an isolated part of the region.
The game ran like dogshit, and for it to only be passable running on the Switch 2 is a fucking insult to Switch owner, and for all the things they did, they supplanted previously established mechanics in favor of more superfluous fluff such as letting your pokemon go out on its own to kill and maim wild pokemon without your input that they are more than likely going to supplant in gen 10.
Nothing Gen 9 introduced will remain, and as such it is all fucking dogshit because it will remain isolated by its own failings when it first launched on the Switch.

notice how he literally couldn't list anything bad

also notice how I'm a disingenuous blind retard

>>58041641
>hurr durr everyone who doesn't waste their time shittalking games they never played is a marketing agent
I like talking about the games I play instead of shitposting about games I never played. Even when I didn't like the game.

>>58041663
this board is full of bitter disingenuous contrarian retards who stir up shit for the sake of it, to feel a bit less miserable with their pathetic lives

I can make a genuine list of the bad things about SV (and I loved the game):
>graphics and performance
>>tera raids are actually shit
>art direction is generally ugly, generic NPCs are ugly
>>but a lot of named NPCs are actually great, just that you only see them for 2 minutes
>online features are horribly barebones
>>the comp circuit had technical issues throughout the entire generation cycle

but I loved the story and the music, the dex is solid, the gameplay is actually quite fun outside tera raid shenanigans (which are optional for the most part), and Area Zero is an all timer zone. I just think they could have done a lot better and seethe at the wasted potential because this game could have been Pokémon's BOTW

>>58039789 (OP)

Good stuff:
I liked the open world gameplay, finally ditching the random battles completely felt like a big step up here, unlike Sword and Shield. It was great seeing all the pokemon moving around in real time and noticing their little individual AI quirks.

I really enjoyed Tera as a mechanic too, unlike Dynamax. Best pvp since Gen IV in terms of balance IMO. Also the QoL in terms of making competitive pokes has never been better. Just grind out some money and you can change EVs, IVs, Natures, Movesets, Items.


Bad stuff:
Tera Raids are just abysmal. I don't know how anyone enjoys these. They barely function, the battles are on a timer but they regularly just force you to sit there for several seconds while nothing happens. Everything feels out of sync and just godawful.

BUTT UGLY art style. Everything is just nasty looking. The character design doesn't even look like pokemon. The textures on the creatures look like melting chocolate. The lighting is flat and always too bright. Go back to Sword and Shield's style please. I'm not even going to mention the performance because it's so obvious.

Fully open world without scaling the gym leaders or whatever they're called this time is stupid. If you're not going to scale with the player, then just keep the game linear because it ruins any semblance of progression. The wild pokemon don't have to scale but the story based challenges should match your highest level.

No battle facility is unforgivable. There's just nothing to do after you complete the pokedex in this game, other than pvp. Also, removing Set battles and the ability to skip battle animations is cancer and they better revert that for gen 10. Making me mash B the entire game in between turns was infuriating.

>>58041737
Oh and while shiny hunting as never been easier, 90% of the new shinies are fucking abysmal and barely any different than the base forms, what's up with that?

>>58041737
>le scaling meme
scaling would only make the game worse because you can just pick a direction to start walking and it will always be the correct direction, which completely kills exploration because you have no reason to revisit an area, making the map even less memorable. every single >le open world rom hack suffers from this. At least if you run into a location that's too strong for you, you'll remember it and come back later. stop this scaling meme

>>58041768
I said the wild pokemon don't have to scale, so you can still have areas which are dangerous to go to. But if the point of the open world is to explore, you can easily miss a gym battle and have to come back later when you're massively overleveled, completely trivializing it.

>>58041759
they realized they overcorrected with lowering the shiny rate once everyone got several boxes of them in PLA, but they know that tendies and redditors would throw a shitfit if they actually lowered the numeric shiny rate so instead they made every new pokemon miniscule, removed the visual and sound effects, and made the colors barely change.

>>58041788
>you can easily miss a gym battle and have to come back later when you're massively overleveled
no you can't because every gym other than the one you're supposed to go to would be too strong for you, so you'd have no choice but to find the right one to proceed

>>58041798
But that literally happened to me, I skipped the fire bitch and came back and stomped her after I did everything other story battle.

>>58039789 (OP)
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet if it wasn't for the fucking endless GREED of The Pokémon Company could been the BEST game in the franchise.

The story was great. The pokédex was okay but specially the idea of "pick your adventure" could work if they had the time to make specific teams to have per number of badges.

The exploration was okay but I think Arceus did the rides better.

If SwSh looked good but had no exploration, SV had a lot of exploration but the game looked like shit.

I agree i like the Raidons but I think they'll never top the Nebby revelation. Nothing will.

NPCs were fucking terrible I'm happy in ZA they got better.

Also it's disappointing Tera never gave the starters or other Pokémon special forms. Besides Ogerpon and Terapagos.

The starters deserved a Tera Form. And so the Raidons.

>>58040123
B-but the face glitches the arms!
Literally stuff pre-release pre patches.
Okay fucking cheapskate pirate.

>>58041809
that's because pokemon is a game for literal children, that has nothing to do with level scaling, it's just a piss easy game by design

>>58039789 (OP)
Open world was probably too ambitious for Pokemon. I remember when Masuda was asked about BotW when the Switch was new (I think it was Game Informer?), and he didn't seem sure if that would be the right approach for the series. Lol and behold.
I kind of liked the Kitakami DLC map since it seemed to have a tighter direction. The Japanese Summertime feeling, and the little town where Kieran and Carmine come from, it was nice.
I think that's why they've chosen to focus on Lumiose City in ZA. Give themselves a more limited scope to work on instead of stretching themselves too thin. The aesthetic and performance has already improved considerably. Maybe Game Freak is just better at smaller scale projects...

>>58041563
I couldn't possibly agree with that, treating the player like that is patronizing. The solution frankly, is to only compliment the player on things they've actually accomplished.

If player expression is the goal, then they should either develop dialogue options more, or develop the player fashion options lore (another issue I forgot to mention).

And the friend group is hard to top. Unless they repeat them which I hope they not.

Nemona is hard to top, Arven is the best rival since Hugh and his story is fucking tragic.
My man deserved better. Penny was whatever.

And the DLC rivals are just better.

Kieran is just every "mean rival" done right, and they fixed the whole "wow you beat me, thanks!" We destroyed poor boy's dreams again and again. We deserved to be shit on.

Unlike the crying baby of Hop, who lost once and left the challenge and just returned when his bully got kicked. And decided "nah I can't win i'll become the professor assistant"

Carmine is okay, another crazy woman for the Sangre Española harem. I liked how she change from bitch to sweet in part 2. But she's still a psycho.

>>58041915
I mean yeah, the scope was WAY TOO AMBITIOUS for a game with at most 3 years of development. And that's why places like Area Zero and the DLCs have more of a cohesive design. But they're also way more lineal.

ZA looks good, I don't know what people expected. GTA 6? Pokémon was NEVER top graphics anywhere they have been.

People just want to nickpick random bullshit "oooh but the windows!" As if anyone cared.

>>58041505
But it’s not Opposite Day tho. If you’re going to seethe about Kalos kino at least be right

This is from the context of playing from the beginning to the end of the credits and not bothering with the post-game on an emulator which ran better than Switch 1 but worse than Switch 2

>The good
I really liked a couple music tracks

>The okay
Named NPCs were better and more interesting than average
Pokemon models look mostly fine
The ride legendary movement is alright
Area Zero
There were maybe five non-trivial encounters which is a lot for a Pokemon game

>The bad
Empty world with fuck all to do
Runs like complete ass
Let's Go and picnics are absolute whatever features
Tera raids are boring and broken
Everything before Area Zero

>The ugly
Jesus Christ the world looks like garbage
Unnamed NPCs have little variety and no personality
Zero draw distance and even then everything at the edge moves at 2 fps

Overall 3.5/10, barely fun enough not to drop

I actually JUST got the game today after being on the fence but then hearing the switch 2 made the game run alot better I finally dipped. Haven't played since gen 3. I do have a question about names, if I make my character have a surname will the professor call me by that surname or would it be like "Miss XXX YYY" instead of "Miss YYY"?

>>58042076
A couple of hints based on my recent first experience with the game:

Go ahead and start the Kitakami DLC if you bought it. It can be completed in parallel with the main story and gives you access to some more Pokemon. The Indigo Disk DLC is postgame content.

The Titan storyline is the most relevant to progressing in the game because it unlocks movement abilities like climbing and gliding. The second most important is the Gyms for catching higher level Pokemon. They no longer care about current levels for obedience, only the level the Pokemon was acquired at.

Tera Raid Pokemon have a minimum number of perfect IVs and completing them grants rare or valuable items; so don't sleep on them.

>>58042076
There is no surnames.

>>58042126
Yeah I used a voucher to get the base game and then I just bought the DLC alongside it. I'm looking forwards to playing more. If I'm fishing for a female Sprigatito do I have to restart completely or is it enough to just keep reloading my save?

enlightening how pokefagnigs literally do not care about the vomit inducing visuals and the bugs
truly the most buckbroken fanbase/cult in the gaming industry

>>58040123
kek based

>>58042173
>muh grafixx
Pokémon always looked like shit. And gameplay will always and forever be more important than graphics.
Why are you wasting your breath on a board dedicated to something you dislike? That's cucked behavior.

Nothing will ever top the Zero Lab battle climax, it was genuinely crazy and the boldest pokemon has ever gone

>>58042238
I really liked the moment when the Raidon literally breaks free from the UI after inconspicuously being there the whole game. Never would've thought that GF was capable of such kino.

>>58042285
It's the Toby Fox effect

>>58042299
Well, considering that GF keeps hiring him to make music, they are no doubt fans of his work. So yeah, probably.

>>58039789 (OP)
>good
the dlc was better than swsh’s dlc
the AI professor was a novel idea
the textures on pokémon are nice

>bad

I thought the music was bland until the DLC tracks released
there was barely any variety in exploration, just different environments
>ugly
the game runs horrendously on the switch 1

>tera mechanic not executed very well in game and a bit lackluster
Tera is by far the best gimmick in the entire series, at least gameplay wise. It makes battles so much more interesting and spiced up, can't believe people prefer megas over this

>>58042495
>you had to pay for DLC to finish the story
I wish. The DLC had so little to do with the base game story that it's honestly an audacity that they called it "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero". The titular hidden treasure doesn't show up until the last 15 minutes of the DLC, and it doesn't even answer any of the countless questions the base game left open about Area Zero or Paradox mons. 99% of the DLC story was about Kieran and Carmine and had no relevancy to the base game story. Hidden Treasure of Area Zero my ass.
The only thing that explained anything was the hidden post-credits scene at the lake, and even that explained so little that people are debating about what it means to this day.

>>58039789 (OP)
Horrible fucking games, rest in piss SV

>>58042525
you know what I mean though
pecharunt requires you to beat the DLC

>>58042495
The Hidden Treasure of Zero is the sequel of Scarlet Violet, not the end of the story.

>>58042542
Pecharunt is part of the DLC story though.

>>58039789 (OP)
I played 300 hours and never encountered a glitch, but that's just me. Anyways, it feels like this game both came out too early and is meant to be transitory. They removed the battle facility and the only thing you can do after completing the game is shiny hunt and do raids, which they thankfully made better than in SwSh. The removed facility is going to be Champions and the game itself only seems to run as its supposed to on the Switch 2. I like the story and the characters though and the DLC was an improvement over the last gen, but Gamefreak really needs to pace themselves for Gen 10.

>>58042653
Considering there is still no gen 10 in sight, maybe they really are pacing themselves for it.
But I'll keep my expectations low cause it's still GF.

>>58042970
>Considering there is still no gen 10 in sight
God I hate this retardation, why THE FUCK would they ever announce gen 10 before releasing Z-A first? The only time GF has done something like that was after SwooShit because BDSP was a shovelware UE copy of DP not even done by GF teams, every other game is only announced after they are done with the previous one.
You may as well as why aren't they announcing the next remake already

>best story in the series
holy bait

>>58042993
The fact that ZA is releasing 3 years after SV already says a lot. There was only 2 years between USUM and SwSh - and those are mainline titles.

>>58043039
Yeah, they were made during a three year Gen cycle. L: Z-A was planned for last year (Nintendo delayed the point of releasing it however by not launching Switch 2 last year) and was intended to be part of a FOUR year Gen cycle (because they adapted to aiming for anniversary years with new Gen releases, after seeing the reaction and revenue to DP in the 10th anniversary year, leading to them cancelling a Gen 6 rehash to make sure they got the anniversary game finished).
Series is almost 30 years old kid, they've historical release data that informs their current M.O.

>>58043039
Oh and they took the gap year last year, had L: Z-A launched this year, you faggots would be squealing "buh y am no jen 10 reveal game fweak" like the piteous little retards you are.

>>58043138
>>58043145
Anon are you retarded? I'm literally saying it's a GOOD sign that gen 10 wasn't revealed yet. The fuck are you babbling about? Did you not real the reply chain? Stupid fuck getting mad at nothing.

>>58043197
And I'm saying anyone with a functioning fucking brain knew that wasn't happening so anyone ever CONSIDERING the possibility is a braindead retard bastrtard. And don't try and fucking tell me you didn't expect Gen 10 news, acting as if there was a chance but they declined to take it "it am GUD dey din't reveal [thing that wasn't going to be revealed until 2026 regardless]"). Go eat glue with the shitheads on reddit, get the fuck off my board.

>>58043222
>you didn't expect Gen 10 news
Correct, I didn't you sperging monkey. Now calm the fuck down you raging retard. The boogeyman in your head isn't real.

>And don't try and fucking tell me you didn't expect Gen 10 news
Sorry ya brainless bitch, I told you not to insult my intelligence. The very fact you tried to give reason why it was good, instead of calling the spastic retard above what he is for even THINKING it shows (You) were actually unsure if they'd reveal it. Not certain it wouldn't happen like the rest the world with functioning brains.

>>58043396
Again, you're mad at a person that doesn't exist. You literally made up a guy in your head and pretend that guy is me. Seek help.

>>58043558
I'm not mad and I'm not imagining things. Some stupid bitch actually posited an explanation for an occurrence that was guaranteed not to happen as if it was all-but-confirmed to happen. She then tried to insult MY intelligence by acting as if she wasn't a stupid cunt displaying her fucking retardation for the world to see. Not my fault you're a dumb fucking cunt gal, maybe try and educate yourself, so you don't accidentally display the depths of your retardation online in future.

Sometimes it feels like Paldea is even more unpopular than shithole Galar.
I’ve encountered more Galar fans than Paldea fans.

Oh well. I love Paldea. Forever my favorite region.

>>58043025
This. I try to respect all opinions but if anyone here claims that it’s their favourite game or the best story I just drown it out. Absolutely unreal you can think that

>>58043887
Bold thing to claim when there are people who genuinely think Rose was a good villain

>>58043887
How is it not the best story in the mainline series?
It's still not a great story compared to other games overall, but it blows all other Pokémon mainline games out of the fucking water. Because the other game's stories are THAT shit.

>>58043873
why are you so proud to be a retard with garbage taste?

>>58043873
Swsh is dogshit but I spent more time playing it than SV and the Crown Tundra DLC was a great way to cap it off so I can't help but think fondly of it as a result.

>>58044925
Couldn't be me. SwSh was so shit it almost made me quiet the series for good.

>>58044928
>quiet
I meant quit.

>>58039789 (OP)
I really don't like it as a region. Every town and route felt the same and largely empty

>>58039789 (OP)
I swear to god if the next mainline pokemon game has a 2 hour forced tutorial somebody is going to die, probably me.

>>58039789 (OP)
Not going to go through everything, it'd take too long, so I'll just list the things I feel strongly about.

I liked:
>That you could do the gyms/titans/team star bases in any order.
>Being able to catch pokemon of an absurdly higher level from the start, but with the caveat that they're significantly harder to catch and won't obey you
>The (somewhat) accurate size scaling
>That Ditto and Zoura would appear in the wild as other Pokémon until you start the battle.

I hated:
>That despite being able to tackle the gyms/titans/team star bases in any order, they're still linear, with no progress-based scaling
>Hideous art direction and poor environmental textures (The fucking rocks and cliffs, sweet merciful Christ)
>Dogshit performance and glitchiness
>Massive step backwards in trainer customisation, none of the "outfits" you're forced to wear look good except the BB uniforms, which are basically locked until you beat the game already looking like shit.

>>58045150
SV has a forced tutorial??

>58041506
Imagine being so btfo you start posting like this

>>58043873
Literally how? Outside this shitposting hellhole I've seen like 3 or 4 people defending Galar, but nearly everyone agrees that SV is glitchy as fuck but an excellent Pokemon game with great characters, lore, legendary mascot, story, etc
