i was thinking about making a topic about dragon quest but Ill just contain it here: I do not understand the hype. I think its very generic and cookie-cutter, and I also do not like the music. That said - I am going to attempt to play DQ8

So the topic with this picture that I posted on the Pokemon Scarlet board was removed for being "off-topic".

Yeah, I'm disputing that.

You basically play it knowing it's cookie cutter mechanics but has enjoyable, mostly pun based, humor. The stories are pretty decent usually as well.

Which makes it all the worse that Pokemon refuses to get with the times.

Whatever that means. I guess they should be either niche like SMT or dead like Digimon and Yokai watch

I mean, Game Freak keeps removing popular features (including the actual Pokemon themselves) while also dumbing down the actual games because they think that they'll lose kids if the games are even slightly difficult (this isn't hyperbole; Masuda himself cited kids with smartphones as to why they're lowering the difficult of the games).

I mean, the older games weren't exactly hard either, but when they feel in Sword/Shield that you need an NPC to guide you to a hotel that's only like three buildings away from the one you were in, despite another NPC already telling you where it is right beforehand, you know just how they feel about their audience.

Maybe "getting with the times" was the wrong phrase to use. More like... They are very slow to actually evolve the series in a meaningful way, which is strange, considering that evolution is a core mechanic of the series itself.

to be fair the SwSh DLC and LA have been kind of a redemption arc for GF. Also BDSP's league is easily the hardest league

For a mainline game, Legends was a HUGE departure from what they typically do.

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

You're on a 9-year alt with less than a year's karma but you insist on throwing stones from your glass house. LMAO

My main is on warn for threatening violence against trans bigots and it is literally the same username but with a different element. What's your excuse, bud?

I was going to say, didn't the SMT series predate the rest when it came to this kind of mechanic?

I think the simplicity is now the charm. Cause everyone else moved on.
