>>56575667don't lie to yourself anon, gamefreak hasn't focused on gameplay in over a decade. we'll get more bland cutscenes in a barren world with no challenge in playing it, no value to exploring it, and we will buy it anyway because of the ever-diminishing hope that maybe, just maybe, they've finally made a good one.
they won't. these games are too made-by-committee to have any originality or heart, rushed out of the door at a breakneck pace so they don't have time to develop, refine, or even finish the game they're making. it's not going to be good. i'd love to be wrong, of course -- god, i'd love to be wrong, i pray that i will finally be wrong, because i miss pokemon being good.
but i won't be. this series is too far gone. at least now we can get some insight on how we got to that point.
