I know this thread is going to devolve into shitposting but:
I don't agree that Gamefreak was lazy with this game, I felt like Gamefreak tried to take in criticism and feedback from previous games with this gen, they just fell flat with the execution.
>SM had too much story! Cut it down!
They made the story barebones and fairly irrelevent this time around. How much story are we expecting anyway? Too much and it's bad but make it small and it's shitposted as trash story.
>we want Poke-MMO!
This is literally an MMORPG with people running around in the wild together and doing raids, trading, battling live. The lack of player communication, emotes or functional stamps feels awful, if they fixed these up I feel the online would be excellent.
>The graphics! Look at that tree lmao
Non-wild zones look great, they had to compromise graphics and take out particles in the wild to prevent frame dips even worse than it is now with all the players running around.
>Only 400 pokemon!
The reason why other monster games can have highly animated creatures with good graphics is because they don't have to do it for a thousand of them, maybe 30-100 and the rest of them are recolors. It certainly may have been possible now to add all 1000+ mons this gen, but they had to make the cut eventually in the future. Both for the sake of the animators' sanity and to stem the ever increasing powercreep. I could go more into this but post would be too long.
All in all, it's ok to criticize the game, it's not a perfect game, but I wholly disagree that they closed their ears and didn't listen to the fans at all.
