>features being half-assed or cut out completely between games

You mean those unnecessary bells and whistles like walking pokemon,contests, pokeathlon and pokestar?

Video games are nothing but a cash-in these days. They were better when you were younger.

Nigga i didn't say i hated those features, but to say that GF "failed" in making a Pokemon Game because they didn't include those is lol stupid.

Bull fucking shit we aren't.

Kids these days don't care about Pokémon. They just want games like Cawwadoody.

You can't really deny that GF doesn't even put in as much effort as they could because every Pokemon game will sell millions. Half-assed online, easy as shit campaigns, and perfectly good features like the habitat list, challenge mode, and scaling exp that would be trivial to port over being removed.

I didn't even like contests, but they weren't unnecessary.

What I don't understand is how, after introducing the concept and perfecting it in a single generation, they felt the need to change it at all.
gen 3 contests > gen 4 contests, no contest

Gamefreak cuts stuff out on purpose to sell the third version games. We've known this since Emerald.

Think of it as a feature exclusive to that game/gen. Mario games don't feature every single power-up item from every single previous Mario game; does that bother you, too? It gives a reason to play/replay those older games.

At this point I only play Pokemon for the Pokemon themselves. The games themselves just aren't good, but I love the creatures themselves so I continue to play. The stories are shit, the features are for the most part shit, and the games themselves are incredibly easy even for children's standards.

From a gamer's perspective, that sounds like a waste of time. Why would you need to play bad games in order to enjoy the creatures themselves?

From a consumer's perspective, you're part of the problem. Buying shit you don't enjoy only encourages producers to produce more shit.

Because the creatures themselves are about 80% of why anyone buys Pokemon at all? I love the franchise but the games stories and things outside of the creatures are horseshit.

The characters don't cease to be when you don't play the game. For years, I didn't play Pokemon games at all but was still a Pokemon fan by enjoying the creatures themselves.

It's like saying in order to be a fan of Mickey Mouse, you must watch his cartoons. Otherwise you can't like Mickey Mouse.

What aren't you understanding? I enjoy owning the creatures themselves, building my collection as the years go on. Breeding, trading, raising and then battling with these creatures is why I spend 40$ on the game and not just use some fake shit like showdown. GameFreak being inept at crafting a decent story and wasting potential doesn't waver my love for the franchise because I enjoy having rye pokemon themselves.

You seem to be mistaken. That anon was asserting that MLP was only intended to be popular with children, despite its adult fanbase; not the opposite.

Lots of kids shows do this, it's not an MLP exclusive thing.

GameFreak should make Pokemon more like the Mother series. Cutesy visuals with deep themes and a great story. They already haven been influenced quite a bit by them, and it could work for both hound and old.

All the Pokemon on the island are being held captive. It's a glorified zoo.
