the only game I think had meme material for pokemon was arceus with like snorlax I think (as far as funny clips in game). Did scarlet have any of that or did wild pokemon not attack you like arceus? I honestly think all the open world stuff should be real time combat, and then just trainer/gym battles and pvp be turned based.
>>55310499its AAA brain. AAA devs operate no different than you, thinking you need to get every detail perfectly or need to "improve" on something other games have done instead of just slapping stuff in and seeing what's fun (most importantly, simple). but it isn't "that easy". sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to overlook. and then you have to have the right combination of simple things, to get lucky enough for it to get popular. there's tons of survival games on the market and most are overlooked and forgotten. there's tons of monster games made that no one gives a shit about because pokemon existed. it's not "that easy" at all. its luck. right time, right place, right combination of things.
