Midgar, With Love
I don't expect it to bomb or review poorly, and I don't want it to do those things because I have a vendetta against the game. I want Game Freak to walk back and look at a lot of design decisions and change them for the better, which also would require stopping a yearly release cycle. None of those things will happen without backlash.

Yup, same. Because it's Game Freak, I worry even tons of backlash will somehow fall on deaf ears, but yeah.

There's a part of me wondering if the reason the anime is going for a globetrotting feel is because after DP remakes which are likely out in 2021 they're probably going to take slow down game releases.

That way they don't have to worry about Ash staying in Galar for an extra year or two and can put out spin offs while they work on Gen 9. It's clear that them putting out Let's Go as a stop gap did more harm than good. Hell it's making this game look less polished by virtue of Let's Go having more detailed battle backgrounds compared to this game often putting battles in a void

If anything, the heavy criticism this time will hopefully make gamefreak aware that things need to change.

Yo Peeps. This is gonna be my first new mainline Pokemon game since gen 3( I played lets go pikachu). This may seem like a loaded question, but what have I missed? How has the series evolved (or I guess in some cases not evolved). Are the 3D games good?

The only things we should expect negatively when it comes to reviews are people mentioning the lackluster graphics, as some already did in the preview.

this seems like something you'd get a more in depth answer from by watching YouTube videos or something

This requires consequences for not doing so. Which would be the game selling or reviewing poorly.

Did we ever get confirmation on how/when the level gatekeeping is handled? I know it's by gym badge, but does it at least happen quickly enough that I won't have to intentionally avoid trainers to keep from exceeding it?

A lot of people here are being pretty shitty overall though. I get the negativity, but there is no need to direct it towards "people who will defend anything GF will do", who haven't at all been in this thread.
It's pretty accurate when they will give gf a pass and you know they are looking forward to blindly defend the game and use every excuse in the book. It happened with lets go and it will happen here but this time they won't have the excuse of waiting for the next year's game.

And hopefully the second half of the game/post-game, since the previews were only the first 90 minutes.

Beyond that I think all our concerns are gonna be glossed over since the average reviewer just isn't as deep into the Pokemon hole.

I was just called a 4chan user in another thread by one of them, so... lmao.

You can't criticize their 60 dollar purchase. That's it.

I wish Nintendo was a bit more willing to let other folks touch IPs. Id kill for xenoblade people who are great with open world to take a Crack at helping with it like they did with breath of the wild (from what I recall)
Nintendo doesn't get to decide. GameFreak has a stake in ownership of the IP so any major decisions requires their approval as well and they'd never take the mainline games from themselves and hurt their own bottom line.

I still feel like there's an immense amount of pressure on them for D/P remakes now, and they're aware of that.

Is Barraskewda the new fish of healthy meta? It learns so many coverage moves, including Psychic Fangs, which with a Life Orb and Attack boosting nature, allows it to handle Toxapex. The only thing it can't really take out that quickly is Ferrothorn.

I get that they don't have a turning animation, but maybe have it walk around in a circle instead of pivoting in place

Comparing the reactions here to /vp/ is so overblown, lmao. Some users may be getting into fights with others but there is 0 racism, homophobia, bigotry, NSFW content, etc. Just yesterday there was a user who called people complaining about the game mentally ill and mocked autistic people, and they were banned. People are being harsh on the game because to be honest, as someone who was very much excited for these games, I'm liking it less the more I see of it.

Creatures, Inc owns that other 1/3rd. I don't think any of the three would do it, but I do think if Nintendo wanted to they could convince Creatures to throw in with them on it.
