>>40962044I've really liked what they've shown off for Grenade and Nunchuck, though I'm a bit disappointed at the direction of the franchise.
>the only pokemon avaliable in the game is your starter, GF says they want to "players to feel like Ash when he met Pikachu">lifespan-based, the game stops functioning after permadeath of your starter in battle>unskippable 40 minute opening cutscene about your trainer's "biography" and how they caught their starter>supposed to be "slice of life", most activities in game are locked behind a timed paywall, a la Animal crossing w/ microtransactions>items, trading, catching, the dex, and EV/IVs are gone>Amie, Curry Cooking, and a new in-game social media app have replaced these mechanics to be more "palatable" for wider audiences>as a result the game needs to be connected to Wi-Fi at all timesA lot of people were upset at sword & shield, b-but GF will fix it in Gen 12, right bros?
