>>51598455Same. The let's go shit destroyed my hype entirely. Forced EXP share without the need to even battle, with unscaled EXP gains on top of that. Any semblance of an RPG is now completely gone from Pokemon. They haven't shown how the (lack of) scaling is going to be handled either, just no interest in showing how the game will actually be structured/balanced at all, like they don't care, and they probably don't.
Then the cheering shit in terra battles. Trainers being directly involved in the gameplay sets a very bad precedent, and removes the entire point of stuff like bringing support Pokemon with healing/buff moves which kills many possible layers of strategy and team building out of them, and further shows their non commitment to engaging gameplay, team building, and player agency.
And breeding being replaced with an occasional random egg? What the fuck? Why take away an entire feature out of the player's hands like that?
It truly feels like a game actually 100% designed for kids by people who do not care about their playerbase or about making a good game. Pokemon is not coming back.
