>>37323745>LGPE was the first Pokémon game I skipped actually, but nice assumption.I'm talking about Gen 8 and future Switch titles in general which, as I said, undoubtedly will not receive the mindless levels of hate LGPE did as long as the right boxes are checked with Game Freak's usual minimal effort.
>there were a few little things that made the world feel like a functional ecosystem, like how Sableye shows up in battles with Carbink or Mareanie with CorsolaMight as well just lavish Game Freak with praise for remembering that fish pokémon tend to live in water. I don't mean to be a condescending smartass shitting on you for enjoying or appreciating what little they did manage to bother with (I did the same,) and they are certainly memorable even if it's just because it's more than you've grown to expect, but you've gotta admit this is still pretty pathetic especially from a studio that practically prints money. This is the kind of shit I'd appreciate and highlight in a Game Boy title from 1996, not a 3DS title from 2016 while they were porting Skyrim to your fucking microwave.
With all that considered, I'm not very interested in defending LGPE as a "competent, high-quality game" so much as I'm just more pissed off in general that it took THIS shit to draw the line after twenty years of pretty much the same fucking game, and once we get back to having all of our beloved "classic RPG mechanics" back it will be business as usual and things will continue to stagnate as they always have while /vp/ blames it all on strawmen and trivial details nobody cares about.
I'm just going to save you some more obsessive ranting and go to bed. I really can't wait until hype season is in full swing and the board is at least full of shitposting that's entertaining again.
