Nintendo's Financial Report for April 2021 to April 2022 was released this morning and while sales of Nintendo Switch hardware declined from their pandemic boost, the past year was one of the most successful on record for the Pokémon series. The sales of all four premium Pokémon games on the platform combined exceeded 34 million units, making it the most successful franchise on the platform for the year.
NE: "Today, we're looking at the development of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. How does BDSP hold up in 2024?"
the chibi overworld models
the bugs
easy difficulty, especially the top 4.
to essentially remaking the base game without the expension that was the platin version of the game, like, why?
Despite being a lifelong fans, some are exhausted by the frequency and quality of modern Pokemon games
same
sword and violet just made me tired of the current format.
they rly traded a cohesive story and Lore for open region.
As much as a fan of Pokemon I never was one to buy every new gen or spin off or remake. I bought Red & Blue. Played Ruby for a few gyms on PC. Played a bit of Fire Red again on PC but didn't buy a new entry until Black. After that I bought X and Moon. Then Let's Go Evee and Sword. Lastly I bought Violet. So it's hard for me to burned out on Pokemon.
Same here, simply grew up and lost interest, but the nostalgia filter still hits for things like the old pokemon crystal.
It was Gen 2 for me, I just can't keep up with all the new generations of Pokemon they add in, I'm keen to jump into Violet/Scarlett though to see what's new.
I always enjoyed these game until the newest ones. The open world is sooooo bland. I missed walking into some random house and getting a cool trade opportunity. Hell, I miss jut walking into buildings. There are not a lot of interior spaces in violet. And a motorcycle is not a pokemon. I don't care how mythic or whatever it is.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While a few genres in 2022 were somewhat lacking, RPG was the opposite; in fact, two of our finalists show last year’s impressive spread of reputable releases. Beyond their consistency, they also impressed with their quality, and shared this special stat with the Best Puzzle Game of 2022 award: eight entries made it past the preliminary round’s eligibility threshold. All except one of them were made in Japan, and that exception is still emulating the spirit of SNES JRPGs. Finally, together they hold the highest average VGChartz review score of any shortlist we’ve done to date."
Star ocean 6. I'm toward the end and man it's a dope ass game.
I completely disagree with the article.
That reached the prelim round, but not enough for the shortlist. Other than that, this has to be 2022's strongest list going by critical acclaim.
