>>34580215this. only a complete and total retard would think gamefreak dumbing down the battle system to make their job easier is a good thing. The reason why everyone was hyped for switch pokemon rpg is because it comes with the assumption that the game will come with more depth, with even more complex and deep gameplay that has the engine foundations of years of solid releases... when they decide to throw all of that away just to make their jobs as developers easier by developing a "NEW AND IMPROVED SIMPLE BLOCK ATTACK GRAB SYSTEM WITH MUCH LESS CONTENT AND DEPTH" that is never ever a good thing.
this is how games die. It was only a matter of time before pokemon went full retard and decided to pull a move like this to save money and resources on game development, using the excuse of 'we are catering to the casual audience' as a thinly veiled lie to make people give them a pass on their laziness.
If OP's post is true then pokemon as we know it will lsoe its charm and will become shit. using your brain in video games will soon be a thing of the past. combat and rpg depth is dying (look at what happened to paper mario). and there is nothing us loyal fans can do about it
