Yup, and also notice how the fog is slowly rolling in, covering up anything good about the games in the first place.

Let's Go Johto in 2020.
They'll pull a reverse Gen 2 as Let's Go Johto somehow makes the region even smaller than before, while KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO remains same size as ever all the while reusing LGPE Assets.

I wouldn't mind kanto if they actually overhauled the region instead of this shit where it's more or less a tile-for-tile rehash of RBY. But nowadays the routes are too fucking small, there's zero variety in locations and everything has the same generic grass/plains look, and cave dungeons are used far too often.

How about we a Kanto where places like Cinnebar Island actually FEEL like a volcano?

you see, that would've required effort. too much effort for GF to bother especially since the game made millions purely off of being KANTOOOOO alone

The overworld in ORAS really looks like shit when flying around. Looks like a fucking N64 game, and runs at about the same framerate as one too.

Also hate how they fucked up Sky Pillar and turned it into a shitty cutscene/walking simulator rather than having the cool final gauntlet of the original games.

wonder what exactly sucked the soul out of GF for things to end up like this. are they actually happy doing kanto over and over? this kind of work only comes from someone truly miserable

How much is LGBT selling though? I know it's millions, but every pokemon game sells millions. Is it set to sell ~15+ mil like other pokemon releases do?

Sure, but I'm asking about sales relative to other pokemon games. Pokemon is guaranteed to sell millions no matter what, so you have to compare it to other pokemon releases to get a sense of how it's being received.

Realistically, what they should do is admit that they did wrong and redo it immediately and use the properly redone version to open Gen 8 like they should have.

Back to the roots and build up, rather than strip down like they did.

" In Japan, Let's Go topped the software sales chart and sold 661,240 physical retail units in its opening weekend"
"1,012,247 units sold in Japan as of December 12, 2018"
That's the only sales number easily available.
Though, if the growth in its first weekend in the rest of the world is the same, it should be sitting at around 4.5 - 5m.

I think this is almost like flanderization.

The Gameboy era maps are curved and have random little details that aren't in the main games because the technology was so limited.

The new games look to the Gameboy games -- rather than the ideas -- as inspirations, and so they become blockier, with all the details presented plainly. There's little imperfection. That's why they look so soulless.

But US/UM were also just slight iterations of S/M a year prior, and S/M sold sold 16 mil. "definitive editions" like Emerald, Platinum, BW2, USM always sell worse because most people already have the original versions.

Best we can try to do is look at early sales and try to get an apples-to-apples comparison. According to this site:
http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon

> Seventh generation
>The seventh generation consists of Pokemon Sun and Moon. Due to the preceding hype built by a Superbowl Commercial, re-releases of the original games on digital storefronts, and Pokemon Go, it surpassed Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as Nintendo's most preordered game. In November 2016, the games have sold 3.7 million in the Americas and 1.5 million in Europe, becoming Nintendo's fastest seller titles ever. With Japanese numbers, the games sold about 7.5 million copies in 2 weeks. In the United States, by December 2016, the game had sold 4.5 million copies, making it the fastest Nintendo game to reach 4 million. As of December 31, 2016, the game has shipped 14.69 million copies, already outselling Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

So that's 14.69 million in about a month, since S/M released in late November, 2016. So that's the metric we should be comparing LGPE to.

From top to bottom, it goes Sootopolis, Sky Pillar, Battle Tower.

Remember, Emerald released several years after R/S. That map is for R/S. I remember it being in my ninty power strategy guide.

If you ignore LGBT, the last time we saw kanto was with HGSS about a decade ago, so it's not too bad. I'm not sick of kanto itself, as in the region, so much as I'm sick of the blatant gen1 pandering we keep getting, like with XY shoving the gen1 starters in your face 10 minutes after getting your kalos starter, or SM having a ton of alolan forms exclusively for kanto mons.
