>>54023280Yep, completely agreed.
I feel like I havent really played Pokemon since Gen 6. Gen 7, and ESPECIALLY Gen 8 were just fucking breeding sims for me as I blasted through the shit stories and hated the mechanics/new additions so much that I rarely touched online. Gen 7 at least has some redeeming qualities, and Z moves, while bad, dont suck as hard as Dynashit.
Pokemon SV has flaws out the ass, as stated ad nauseum, but the core things I really look for in a Pokemon gam are strongly represented, and even small, simple aesthetic things like actually being able to see my Pokemon scaled somewhat properly adds a lot for me.
>>54020742As much as I love SV, I still agree with this though. Coming out the same year as TotK should really be eye opening for Gamefreak (it wont be.)
