I've been playing since Red/Blue, played every game, including LGPE, and I give each game their chance but.... In the past few generations, I am so fatigued with the same mechanics for years. The battles are the same, the animations are lifeless, no game adds anything that really shakes things up. I like Pokemon, but for a series about evolution, it never really feels like it evolves.
I finally got around to playing Dragon Quest XI, and though it has the same mechanics mostly to previous titles, the world and monsters have a lot of care put into them, which I feel Pokemon lacks. What I appreciate in DQXI, is how you can run around in a battle, and even fight monsters from the back. Nothing big, but it adds a LOT to the static battles. Just adding that to Pokemon I feel would make it a little more engaging. I don't like to compare the two, but Pokemon is rather lifeless.
Or maybe I'm just old and been playing too long.
