new to the thread, so I'm ready to end it in one fell swoop:
> no matter how well swooshie sold, it doesn't change the fact that it's the worst pokemon game to date, suffering from the most content cuts, poor graphics and animations, linearity, no postgame, gimped dex and moves, and not to mention that gamefreak blatantly lied about it.
> customers refusing to buy an inferior product until a company produces a superior product is common practice. given how horrible pokemon has become recently, you really ought to not condone gamefreak with your money.
> "i enjoyed it" isn't an argument. monkeys enjoy throwing their feces and pedophiles enjoy raping defenseless little kids. you can EASILY enjoy something that's bad. hell, I used to think the marvel movies were good until I realized how shitty they were. sales and your enjoyment are all subjective measures of the product and are thus invalid for judgment.
> the most valid way to judge these products is by comparing their content to previous titles. now, swooshie is a 2020 game on a home console being produced by the highest grossing media franchise in the world that gets millions in funding on the daily, no doubt. so why are all of the pokemon games that come before swooshie objectively superior in every way? more difficulty, more exploration, more pokemon, more moves, more postgame, superior online and metagame, etc. games that costed $40 and are from years ago somehow have more content in them than the modern incarnation on a home console- and yet they beg you to cough up $60 + $30 for the DLC. the graphics are n64-tier at worst to gamecube-tier at best, and the animations and models have been proven to have been ported.
what now swooshills?
