>>58901164Those sorts of changes don't feel monumental to most players though, and the core never changing is why it gets stale. The strategies change, but the game is always the same.
I'm not looking forward to Legends Galar because it feels like the same shit they've been doing from XY onward where they add a gimmick and then immediately scrap it for a new gimmick the next game instead of building on it. Pikmin-based gameplay seems like a total departure from the systems they introduced in Z-A unless it's just a side thing they're doing for the giant battles. Have to wait and see on that one though. If they do build on Z-A's systems then pikmin-like controls might solve the pokemon positioning issues for standard 1-on-1 battles.
>>58901190This is why I'd rather real-time be the main system moving forward, since it definitely takes a lot more work than turned-based to get right. I don't want more half-assed games like Legends has been unless they actually use the knowledge they gained from those experiments to improve the games they put more effort into later. Putting more time/effort into the Legends games would work too, and be a better solution overall since plenty of people still like mainline as-is, but I don't know if that's viable for them compared to just focusing on mainline from a business standpoint.
