>>58439607Why were people disappointed in LGPE?
- Because Zelda Breath of the Wild was released more than a year before.
People had seen that the Switch was capable of having a decent 3D adventure. Expectations were high, this was the first Pokémon game on the Switch. We wanted it to be the Mario 64 and the Ocarina of Time of Pokémon, their first true 3D game.
And what we got was a cell-by-cell remake of Red/Blue, except far easier, babified, and with not near enough content to justify its price tag.
The worst part? It is still the best Switch/Switch 2 game of Pokémon if you exclude Pokémon Snap 2 (made by people who understand Pokémon and basic ecology).
Now we see that had this franchise gone the way of LGPE, it'd have been better.
Z-A is a fucking trainwreck. I've spent more hours complaining about it than I've spent playing it. I just can't play this shit without being bored out of my mind. The game I was playing before it was Expedition 33 and the new Digimon. So I am very underwhelmed at every single aspect of this new Pokémon title.
The lazy human ladder segment for me made me turn off the game, as well as the first time we "climb" to the rooftop, when the screen turns to white and Zygarde takes us to the roof. That is so shameful. If the Dead Space or Pokémon Stadium people were here, they'd have animated how each Pokémon could creatively make you climb a rooftop. And it'd have been fun and whimsical.
Instead, the screen fades to white and we teleport.
And then I regret having ever loved Pokémon.
