You know, I know another 'new games' bad thread isn't exactly something insightful, but it just bothers me how many people (especially twitter users) seem to think that if you have criticism of the games it means you want them to suck or you're trying to drag the devs down or whatever.
Like, fuck no, I don't want to feel like I'm going to forever be stuck playing games that were released pre-2013, you know? I wanted Kalos to be good. I wanted OR/AS to supercede Emerald. I wanted Alola to be a fun island adventure that bringed home what my core enjoyment of the series is about (exploration and interacting with my mons). Holy shit, I really wanted Galar to be good, the trailers looked like it was taking the right steps up until Treehouse. I want BD/SP to be better than Platinum. I want to have fun with new mons and new regions and be like 'wow, it's not missing something! I'm really enjoying this!' for my whole time playing it. It just constantly disappoints me that Game Freak doesn't even feel like it's worth meeting the bare minimum anymore. I hope one day they can pull it around, and I think if they really wanted to, they could. Maybe I'm just too optimistic still, which is saying something.
