Gen 8 will go the way of Gen 6, if it isn't already in the process. a game that disappoints relative to it's predecessors, but who's image is eventually polished because what came after it gave us even less of what we wanted.
In 10 years when we get Legends Calyrex or whatever, people will say
>Galar always had so much potential!
>Anyone else have weird nostalgia for the Wild Area?
>The region was always good, just mishandled
>New Gigantamax designs? Awesome!

I have anti-nostalgia for gen 8. The older it gets, the more I hate it.

honestly I have much more enjoyment with scarlet and violet than sword and shield

I love hoenn, it's my favorite region, but it cut features and worsened power creep

Gen 9 made me like Gen 8 more purely because it feels more like a Pokemon game.
Didn't like the open world, never felt natural to control the raidon, hated swerving around tiny pokemon on the map, and im sure the game running and looking like ass didn't help.
I can recognize Gen 9 was more ambitious and the story was more inspired than Gen 8, but actually playing it never really felt good to me, whereas SwSh at least play more or less like SuMo.

Yes. Not only is Gen 8 not old, it's shit. As nicely as this can possibly be said, there's definitely something wrong with you.

I feel like Galar will get the Kalos treatment and get the next legends game. There is a lot of lore about ancient Galar and the age of heros they can dive into. Either Galar or Unova will be the next legends game

Same. Can't believe I put up with some of that shit. The region lore was fucked. They never even did anything with Eternatus. That thing remains more of a mystery than several mythics. But it's also integral to explaining how the box legendaries became legends.

Wild Areas essentially being a tech demo of he next gen, but also being the excuse as to why there are no detours or side plots during the main campaign, will always be a serious mar on this gen.

Gen 8 was hated because it was the Dexit gen
We legitimately don't know how good we had it. Compare this to the empty grass plains that make up the ENTIRETY of Paldea

Not really, that's just the general state of gaming, as pointed out by >>58265603.
>Consume mediocre product
>Future products are way worse than even the mediocre product
>Feel nostalgia for the mediocre product
It almost feels like a rite of passage when you watch other people feel nostalgia for something you always thought was shit.

>>58264844
This, but for gen 7. I guess it just depends on what gen was the last straw for you. For me, gen 8 was so bad that it was actually entertaining to play because of how bad it was. I wonder how many people felt the same way about gens 5 or 6 when they believed gens 4 or 5 respectively were the worst.

so many flaws of humanity exist because of mortality.
people who used to have it better, die and take their knowledge to the grave (or just become irrelevant),
and younger people just don't know any better.

though, I suppose, an immortal human who has been around forever, would think that any video game no matter how bad, is a wonderful luxury.

I mean, it came out 6 years ago? Not long enough for big nostalgia, but a little's fine, I suppose. When it came out, the world was pre-COVID, the Switch was relatively new, Donald Redditors had finally started acclimating to the site, BLM hadn't picked up yet, the Smash Bros. community hadn't been outed as pedophiles yet. A lot's changed in 6 years.

i have nostalgia for that entire era, i played this game in 2020. the world screeched to a halt and it felt like we were on the verge of huge societal change and then it all blew away in the wind and now we're back where we were before it happened, barrelling straight down a much darker path. i miss the end of the world as we know it, playing sword all day, while the curtain pulled back and we saw the world's bullshit for what it really was and actually unified as a people for a couple months. i just want to get back there.

Is a shame nobody did a "scottish trainer fights the Galarian League" series where the events of SwSh are "suffered" by Gloria, going "ya bloody coontz, just let me pass" while looking at the sleeping Wooloos, or screaming "STOP BEING A NONCY FAG!" every time Bede tries to one-up her.

the routes are pretty good though, lots of verticality on the midgame ones. strong level design all things considered, wish they'd lean back into that again a bit honestly. some of the best we've had since DS era, linearity be damned.
