Seasons lasting one month had bad gameplay effects, but making them any shorter would be unfitting. I'm glad they're gone.

This what makes season mechanic felt so fleeting and useless, ironically. Waiting a few months just to grab some useless one-off items. It would've been different if the items were respawnable daily though. That might give the games a Harvest Moon vibe

I'd like it if some games took place during just one season, making them feel more unique. Johto would be set in autumn, Alola in summer, etc.

I wish when they did seasons, there were more towns like Iccirus where the seasons greatly impacted the locations in the town, and I wish there were more season-locked pokemon in routes. It would have made replaying even better.

1 month is too long. We all finished the game before the season changed.
1 week would have been better.

They improved it a lot in BW2, but in just regular BW it does feel like 'oh.. the trees have changed colour and one or two routes have rain/snow in them'

Really wish they just went balls out and made a big gamechanging thing across the entire map

But then again we know BW2 were Gamefreaks 'final farewell' to the 2D/Semi 3D era and they already crammed so much in that they just could not fit anything else into the game

I like the seasons in concept but I feel they should of shifted faster and affected more areas drastically.
Having them last for one month straight actively was too long because most people will have beaten the game already by then. Having them shift faster can also help shape the feeling that you are going on a journey that is lasting longer than it actually is.

I do too, really made Unova feel like it was worth playing. I really enjoyed GSC's time of day mechanics to find new pokemon, and season just improved that, plus I really like sawsbuck. Hope they bring seasons back in some way in the future, like a lot of other "gimmicks"

That's basically what we got. Most locations had no functional changes between seasons and it was just aesthetic.

The only issue with seasons is how it affected gameplay in the wrong places where certain useful items like TMs can only be obtained in a specific season. Thwart seasons should do is change up the encounter rate of wild Pokemon encounters, shift the location of some Pokémon (and no don’t lock Pokémon behind specific seasons) to different areas and maybe even give the NPCs (regular, gym leaders and even elite four and champion) different teams based on the season to make each location and battles feel different every time (heck it would increase replay ability by tenfolds if the starting season is randomised per starting save until postgame where it syncs to real world times as everyone will have a very different and unique gameplay experience based on seasons).

Seasons were a fucking rad idea, the biggest problem is that pokemon games are short as fuck and not a single pokemon game has given a reason to go to most areas for more than a month. Even as a kid with almost no time to binge games in 2001.
If pokemon had some kind of gameplay loop that took you around the world, then seasons could be justified to put into more games. Unfortunately I feel like that'll never change, though.
Even the pokemon games with good endgame loops (Emerald, BW2) have most of it take place in a single location where you wouldn't even notice the change of seasons.

Anon, if you are playing literally any game, you are looking for actual things to do, correct? Therefore, having things for a player to do is a good thing and is considered more content. Objectively speaking, that item you care so little for did not replace anything, so don't backtrack if you don't fucking want to. No one's forcing you. But now there is an option to get it or to not. It's an objective improvement even if it didn't affect you.

Why does this need to involve tediously going back to the route instead of simply being able to do it the first time?

Because there were already things to do "the first time", it's just that they added more to do later on.

Tends to happen when the game is poorly designed and has pointless backtracking.

That's the rub, retard. You don't need to do it. It's not like you can get a platinum trophy in a Pokemon game unless you count your Trainer Card changing color, in which case, items aren't factored into that.

I genuinely don't know what game is for you then, since practically all of them wall off items in areas you can't access early. Have fun playing Sonic I guess.
