Why do people on this board shit on Skyrim with the "hurr empty open world" argument when it's compared to Pokemon games?

I mean, you can call Skyrim "empty", "shallow"...etc when comparing it to Morrowind, Oblivion...etc, but to Pokemon games? Really now?
I'd kill for an official Pokemon game with even half as much content as Skyrim has, and I say that as someone who shits on Skyrim a lot.

pokemonfags only play shitty children games on their nintendo potatoes.
they think open world and modern graphics will ruin Pokemon just to defend the current abysmal state of Pokemon games compared to other rpgs.
Don't expect any intelligent argument from these zero IQ retarded Nintendo sheep

A lot of pokemon fans would defend pokemon to death no matter what retarded decision or how ironic it is
i.e Them shitting on yokai watch while praising sun and moon which was pokemon copying yokai watch

Who's comparing Pokemon and Elder-Scrolls?

Seems like an apples and oranges type situation where the games in question are so completely different the thought of comparing them is a waste of time

OP must have woke up from a 7 year coma back when people WERE asking for a Pokemon Skyrim.

Nowadays all the autists are asking for Pokemon BotW.

Care to explain why excatly?
Many people here want an open world Pokemon game, and to this they get answer "hurr open world are empty, look at Skyrim".
Yet, as OP pointed out, Skyrim is far less empty than Pokemon games, making this argument hilarous.

I don't think you understand the difference between a linear RPG and an open world RPG.
Open world games like Skyrim are nearly always broad but shallow, with lots of "content" but little that's actually interesting. Every dungeon in Skyrim is the same, none of the loot matters because of level scaling, none of the encounters are interesting because of level scaling, and most of the quests are just "clear this tomb full of draugr."
I would much rather have a linear 40-60 hour RPG like USUM.

This has nothing to do with the open world format tho, that's just because Todd is lazy.
The Pokemon franchise has more than enough different creatures for it not to happen.

Imagine if the entire game was wormholes and you've gotten a lot closer to Skyrim.

>>38342774
I actually am more concerned about progression than content. I agree that an open world Pokemon game would be worth exploring just to find different Pokemon, but getting the levels right for each area would be basically impossible.
Level scaling is a band-aid fix that makes progression fucking pointless so that's not an option.

I don't know how you got that out of my post, but that being said, Farcry, Ass Creed, a that PS4 game that's just BotW but you're a hot ginger were all well-received open world games but nobody compared Pokemon to those.

t. brainlet
It makes perfect sense that you would only challenge trainers that are around the same level as you.
You can already sense the feeling of progression just by seeing your own Pokemon evolve and learn new moves, you don't need to beat some rookie trainer or fight lv3 Pidgey when you're lv50 to go "Woah I sure progressed"

Level scaling is a shit mechanic that makes everything disgustingly samey and prevents areas from having unique identities. No place is ever more or less dangerous than any other.
Not to mention it's immersion-ruining.
It's shit and anyone who wants it should go back to playing Skyrim.

A good thing Pokemon gas a large variety of different creatures to prevent that from happening

You could very well have some high level-only areas despite having level scaling in most of the region.
Like, routes between cities would be level scaled, but there would some remote "out of the way" areas of wilderness with stronger pokemon.

>It's shit and anyone who wants it should go back to playing Skyrim.
Nah, what ruins immersion is when the Pidgey in the outskirts of Viridian city are lv3 while those in the outskirts of Fushia city are lv33.
In a world that would make sense, wild Pokemon near settlements would be weak and those in remote areas of wilderness would be stronger.

doesn't matter because all the pidgeys in the world turn into pidgeots at the same time

>You could very well have some high level-only areas despite having level scaling in most of the region.
or maybe you could just have a linear fucking game with high-level areas to backtrack to for the post-game

>Nah, what ruins immersion is when the Pidgey in the outskirts of Viridian city are lv3 while those in the outskirts of Fushia city are lv33.
as opposed to the same pidgey leveling up whenever your team does...?
