I think I'm about 25% thru Scarlet and so far yeah, it's a Pokemon game more or less. I'm having a whelming experience so far but of course they are still major problems like everyone says. I don't know what's with Game Freak and overly long tutorials but Christ amighty that almost made me want to drop the game entirely. It takes like 1-2 hours just to leave the starting school zone and It's a slog of dialogue and text boxes. Legends Arceus let you off the leash in like 20 minutes and it sucks so badly that this new game couldn't streamline their tutorials like the game that came out 9 months ago.

What really worries me about this game is all the talk about Skyrim-tier bugs & performance issues. Game performance isn't very pleasant nor consistent emulated but if the native hardware is having difficulties like everyone is saying then damn, that's gotta sting for whoever bought this game. At least with PC I was able to adjust the settings but those Switch owners have to wait God knows how long for Nintendo to fix their fucking game.

The fact that Game Freak only patched their games for game-breaking bugs, i.e. the Lumiose City bricking issue if you saved in the wrong place in X & Y, and the Z-Parting Shot disconnect issue in Sun & Moon, doesn't bode well for the chances to fix those glaring optimization issues. They didn't patch the FPS drops in Gen 7 double battles (since the trainer is rendered, effectively making it the equivalent of a Gen 6 Triple Battle in terms of performance hits), as an example, and Triple Battles were removed for that reason. Unless of course, Nintendo gets fed up with people raising massive stinks about them, that they go full Iwata-mode and take a look at the code itself, to try to fix GF's shit. And then again, if the performance issues turn out to be a thing that can't be just coded out of the game...

Ah Triple Battles. I like the concept, but it was so unbelievably unoptimized and barely functional at times that's it's a surprise it ever made it in to begin with. If I recall correctly, you and your opponent could send out 3 Moltres each and because of the way the game renders it's flames, the FPS of the battle would drop to something rediculous like 5 FPS.

And then I remember why I hated doing Triple Battles...
Faggots running nothing but Darkrai + DV Smergal and Ubers. Wow, you're sooooooo fucking skilled when you put half my team to sleep on the first move, get chip damage on top of it, and everything else you're running has 700+ BST. It's not like you could really come up with a niche strategy either, Insomnia Mewtwo was about the only viable choice against that shit, and you could guarantee they're going to focus on taking that out instantly.

I feel that, but weren't there other insomnia/vital spirit mons you could used against it?
 
So is Gen 9 good, even great? I watched the leaks for a while and the leaked pokemon looked like utter shit, worse than gen 5 or 8's misses, but a few have grown on me. I'll definitely be buying scarlet over violet if the game is worth it, cause the robot paradox pokemon didn't look good imo.

There were other options, but because of these faggots running Ubers as well your options were pretty much so niche that you need to play deep mind games to even have an opening. DV only had 70% Acc, but because it targeted all 3 on your opponents Pokemon that con was extremely minimal. It just wasn't feasible to run a complete/near complete anti-sleep that could also withstand powerhouses that don't even need to boost. The entire meta boiled down to whoever got DV off first.

DV is as nerfed as it is today because of Smeargal, funnily enough, but it's a testament to how fucking broken and meta defining it was even in doubles. Triples really just gave it a larger playing field to show off just how broken it was.
 
For those of you who are playing S/V, has anyone been getting headaches from playing it? I heard that some people are experiencing motion sickness while playing the game, presumably due to things such as the FPS drops.

Man this model in particular looks ugly. It looks like George Floyd as an old mtf troon.

Too bad about the bugs outside of them from the little bit I played I quite liked the game. Hopefully they fix it quickly because I don't think I want to play a game that crashes every hour or so.

All the models look terrible in this game. I feel like they used Umiis like in BotW but had to do their own proprietary one and it just came out terrible.

So, just how bugged is the game, anyways? I get that the game has some serious pop up issues and I would rather buy something else, at this point. But I'm kind of curious to see if GF managed to figure out how to run an open-world game

For once, t-posing is actually relevant.

I'm about halfway through and I haven't had any wild shit happen. The memory leak is annoying and wild mons will spawn inside walls sometimes but I haven't seen any T-posing or had my mons clip through the floor in battle. Haven't had any crashes either. Not to say they don't happen to other people though.
