Why is it that every mainline Pokémon game are inflicted with some form of incompetency or fuck ups, with each and ever previous one being tacked onto the next generation after?
Seriously:
- gen 1 is bugs galore and trade evos
- gen 2 is shitmons everywhere, with Rock and Ice being even worse than before thanks to Steel
- gen 3 is SFMA
- gen 4 is Pokémon that should've had their attacking stats altered to account for the Physical/Special split but didn't (Sceptile)
- gen 5 was Zoroark being event-only and have having its gimmick (Illusion) ruined because the same gen also introduced team preview
- gen 6 being easy and having a legendary with no game, Rock and Ice being indirectly made even worse because of Fairy, pandering for gen 1 and popular Pokémon in general (gift Lapras & Lucario, gen 1 starters being shoehorned in, mega evolution primarily being for Pokémon that never needed to be buffed like Garchomp and Salamence), and "the Battle Frontier project has started" because of, and I quote "smartphones", which was a shit excuse to be a lazy developer.
- gen 7 being the hand-holding cutscene shitter it is
- gen 8 with the dex cut shittery and all the pathetic PR shit Game Freak tried to come up with (competitive balancing to "make the lesser-used Pokémon shine" without actually buffing said Pokémon just to bring back Garchomp and Landorus, Galar being "too cold" despite it having FUCKING SALANDIT & SALAZZLE AND OTHER POKEMON FROM ALOLA AND HOENN), shitmons having their movepools shrunk while Pokémon that didn't need to be buffed having their movepools buffed (Aurorus having Rock Polish taken away while Garchomp gets Scale Shit), an "evil team" that tried to be the next Team Skull but failed, very shit texture quality in the Wild Area, top-notch animations that TOTALLY warranted a dex cut, and somehow made Rock & Ice-type Pokémon even more worse because of the distribution of Close Combat.
I wonder what gen 9 will bring?
