Pokémon ended here. There will never be a Pokémon game with love, effort and care put into it ever again.

Pokemon ended after HGSS, BW added almost all the things people on this board complain about.

i'd argue that there could've been a lot of love originally put into the concept of XY, like how it probably had the best OST and post-game sidequest and was no doubt the most diverse region, but they weren't allowed to fit it all in there due to time constraints and genwunner pandering. so instead left with what we got with no Z and no expansion on the team flare plot or kalos mythicals

Truly.
DPP/HGSS/BW/BW2 were the golden age of Pokemon and I feel like many people would agree with me on this. If not by the amount of Pokemon, the music, and other small things, then by how much content there was in them. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.
>>37022376
That’s just your opinion. You cannot deny some obvious facts.

That being said, I still enjoyed SM, but Let’s Go Pee is just inexcusable trash.

BW/BW2 were linear as fuck and had too much focus on story instead of exploration. They weren't bad, but they were the first step in the wrong direction.

I don't feel the same about the music but I do believe the potential for XY was there and it's fucking criminal that they didn't bother expanding on it at all. With some fixes and fleshing out XY (or Z) could've been among of the best.

Kalos really does feel like a passion project that got fucked over at the last minute and had all its cool shit removed with the mindset that ”we’ll just include it in Pokemon Z, and they’ll lap it up!”

The games becoming more linear was a trend that had been becoming more and more prominent with every new generation. It didn't start with BW/BW2, it started as early as GSC.

Yes /vp/ is incredibly nostalgic for the game that started the board. BW and BW2 aren't bad (More so BW2 I never cared much for the original) but they're where things started to go down hill for sure.

Nah, Gen 5 were the last games where GF put love and effort into it, you could almost feel that GF can do better games in 2D. I guess that casual fans and Nintendo pressured GF into 3D, getting more casual (Gen 6) and since then the games sucked.

Unless there's some big thing I'm not remembering, not really. You can fight Maylene or Crasher Wake in either order in DP, but that's gone in Platinum.

Love and effort ain't the problem, a shift in target audience is. They see Yokai Watch, which is more story heavy, they see mobile phones taking over handhelds, which are more casual, they see the success of Pokemon GO, more casual, and they see that 3D graphics are cheaper to produce and considered more advanced.

The logical conclusion is more story, more casual, 3D. But that leaves the older and/or more hardcore fans in the dirt.

I don't mean the ability to play out of order so much as the straightforwardness of the path you take. S/M for example has zero deviation from the path, you just move on the the next route and that's it.

Sinnoh has a bit of that, probably more than Johto, but definitely not more than Hoenn. Hoenn is by far the least linear region in the series by that definition.

Nah. In GSC itself all of the tutorials are optional and there aren't any traveling companions tugging you down a route like in gens V-VII. You could argue the straightforward map but even then you unlock Kanto that lets you just do whatever you want after the main game. RSE also had plenty of moments that expected you to think for yourself, and the region is pretty open at times. Gen IV had Mt. Coronet and a difficult victory road.

Then you look at gen V, VI, and VII, and LGPE where you can't even make it out of your house without a friend telling you that you need to.

It's not all bad, anon. I get it we are probably not getting a game that matches later gen 4, gen 5 quality and heart, but gen 7 wasn't all bad. If you look pass the tedious handholding, annoying forced dialogue, lack of challenge in the bigger part of the game, shitty level design, there are still some good core gameplay mechanics buried in there.
