There’s a good game in Pokemon X, and fans looking for another game near-identical to the ones before it likely won’t find issue with a lot of the dusty trimmings and transparent battle system. If you want to get into into the new stat rebuilding features and grind out tons of easy battles to prep for high-level online multiplayer, it’s never been easier to do so. But for all else, the game’s excellent visuals belie the frustratingly old-fashioned design. RPG folk can find better times on their 3DS.
There are many worlds out there brimming with wondrous creatures ready to help you on your adventure beyond Pokemon.
Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
Even if Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have not yet completed their first anniversary, it is possible to predict exactly when Gen 10 is arriving.
The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."
Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.
they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.
but absolutely agree on the change
That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.
But money, they'll make billions with little effort.
Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.
No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.
Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
"near-identical" did we even play the same game?
obviously you didnt. its a 3d visually polished game thats dumbed down from its earlier versions with poor man digimon elements. this should've came out on the GameCube.
millions of gamers without standards threw their money at essentially a 3D remake.
If gamefreak REALLY wants to give their fans something they deserve, give us a live-action battle system its not that damn hard if squareenix can do it with final fantasy
"Near-identical"? Sorry, after playing this game for only a few hours, I simply cannot agree with that.
Oh man i got this day 1 and still im not even close to being done, got 80+ hours sofar. Just been ev training my pokes for that online tournament, even though we always get stoped by japanese players
Graphically and aesthetically the game is very different from previous games. Sometimes the move to 3D even affects gameplay like back-angle environments, mirror reflections, and most of the gym structures.
Mechnically, it is noticably different. The pacing has been sped up considerably, the addition of skates and mounts, the addition of a new type and a new kind of evolution, an entirely new persistent online networking system that works much better, a more appraoachable and flexible method of stat-value leveling and a Nintendogs-esque mode, various new gimmicks like berry-farming and poke-radar and friend-safari, ect.
Is it a reinvention? Not by a long shot. But the updates and new additions extend quite a bit all-around the game.
Writer is also a bit wrong on the 3D. It also is used in certain environments, not just cutscenes and battles. They're few and far between, but they're there.
