I'm Really Feeling It said:
I just had a run of Pokémon Y after ~10 years of not playing any Generation VI content, only to then start a new X save. I know people in this thread see it as the point where the rot really set in, but man do I continue to love the games. Through and through a chill experience, just what I needed after busy days at work. If Team Flare and Gym fights were a little less easy, and if E4 had 5 Pokémon in their teams at least, IMO this would fix the difficulty issue.

Rollerskating through Kalos was unironically a really happy time for me.

The fact that game is so relaxed was so nice. And it’s honestly why I feel that in terms of vibe SM perfected what XY did.

Before XY a lot of the Pokemon games never really felt relaxed. Which made XY an honestly welcome change, especially after BW.

That is one thing that XY got right. Zipping around was fun in its own right and some of the camera angles you got while moving past set pieces were great. I distinctly remember skating past a castle across from a waterfront as the sun was setting and I think I caught a Smeargle in the same general area which I had never used before.
 
I finished the main campaign of Pokémon 1.5.
Honestly, I would hav enjoyed this hack more had the ROM been a lot faster. I already sped up the saving, healing, and even Kurt, bu the movement and grinding slowe down the game quite a bit.
I also found a few more text overflow glitches, but I would rather redownload the repository and fix those bugs anew. Also, I plan on releasing 2 versions: a normal version and a 'fast' version.
 

The Rayquaza elite raid is already a shit show. The tranny cm and Niantic had a big brain idea to use Tik Tok to shill Pokemon Go, but the problem is Tik Tok is getting banned in some countries (Someone posted the codes on the Youtube commentary page to help people out) . They really need to fire their tranny cm because Kestral is incompetent.
 
Remember when Gamefreak mocked the players for expecting a PWT 2.0 in Sword and Shield? In a DLC they paid 35$ for and was probably just cut postgame from the base game, no less?
Even then, PWT was just the Battle Dome from Emerald. Just that bit, outside of that and the Battle Tree from White version(I believe it was the equivalent of Battle Pyramid) and Battle Subway(Battle Tower) the Battle Frontier was still missing as early as those days. I still wouldn't give PWT that much credit, when we were expecting so much more from what was the equivalent of a "third version". It's telling that we're so far gone as a franchise that we're looking back in nostalgia for even one Battle Frontier facility being included in the game.
Speaking of which, does Scarlet and Violet have even the most basic Battle Tower clone in it, after all the DLC? If not, lmao. That will be the first game ever since the very first generation not to have one, and even then Pokemon Stadium kinda filled in that role already, making this the very first generation without a proper battling facility(and no, online doesn't count. The servers will shut down one day and it's just a half assed Showdown clone anyways).

I still see people unironically coping that Battle Frontier was not needed and that it was a GOOD thing they removed it from the franchise, because it gives Gamefreak more time to add features that MATTER, such as...umm, well...
Look, all that matters is that you don't need it, and you're an entitled incel for asking for it, okay? Maybe they will add Battle Tower back as a 35$ DLC but only if you start thanking Gamefreak for their great work on social media.

Remember a time when big media companies didn't try to shift blame to customers for crap products? And when they usually made stuff that didn't suck? Kiwi Farms remembers.

Even with ORAS lacking a Battle Frontier, at least there is kind of a "Pokemon Stadium" built in it with both the Battle Test and Battle Mansion. If SV lacks even that sort of thing then it really sucks. Also I miss when new pocketmons games didn't even have DLC BS. Guess I made the right choice to "check out" of the pocketmons series after 6.

Gen 7 is pretty good, gameplay mechanics wise. The story is boring and has way too many cutscenes, but the Battle Tree is worth it. You get both Megas and Z-Crystals(more involved gems from Gen 5) at the same time, so the power level is raised, it's pretty fun. I suggest you check it out.
Gen 8 and onwards is just shit, nothing worth talking about.

I still don't like the lack of normal gyms and gym leaders, the missing Pokedex entries, no surfing between islands, and no Battle Test thing (no forced saving and you can advance even if you lose). Also Gen 7 games have even more unfinished issues, or so I heard anyway. Still, they look better than the Switch games (especially SwSh and SV).

Some of the small missing things in Gen 7 are baffling, if you notice them. The previous games would keep track of the teams that you beat the Elite 4 & Champion with, and you can view them in the PC, but the Gen 7 games took that out, and replaced it with a guy that stands outside of the league entrance, and he only says the names of the Pokémon that you used to become the first Alola Champion, and the Pokémon that you used on your most recently Title Defense.

Someone also mentioned that they took out most of the various "Trainers Eye Meet" music themes that the various trainer classes have in Gen 7, and replaced with it just one generic theme.

And yet, even with those small missing things, the Alola games were the last ones that still felt like a Pokémon game.

It's now becoming a race to see what media company can make the most gaslighting comments to their audience. I think no one expected that the comments would go above "Pride and accomplishment", "Do you all not have phones?!", "Brutal Expectations", and "This is what makes The Sims 4 Special", but they have.

I also wouldn't be surprised if media companies get political leaders to make gaslighting comments to their audience because they don't like it. Seeing the likes of a Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, or Fumio Kishida, telling players that they are bigots, homophobes, transphobes, Gamergaters, ULTRA DARK MAGA, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, for not liking something like The Last of Us Part II, would actually be in character for them. Whether or not people will actually take that insult (but they call it "advice") to heart, is another thing.

What are they like now? I take it they're like "smartphone-y" games that try to feel like "Pokemon Go"?

The trials essentially fulfill the roles of gyms, and I like how they made these challenges different for once. Missing Pokedex entries are whatever, lazy that they didn't copy and paste the ones that aren't in the local dex but nobody really cares about those anyways. Surfing between the islands has been added in the Ultra editon, I have no clue what you're on about with the Battle Test(Battle Tree/Tower clone?).
Gen 7 has a lot of unfinished content, but most of it was re-introduced in the Ultra games. Gen 6, on the other hand...
Switch Games are barely even considered real Pokemon games, SwSh is a 3DS game half assedly ported over to the Switch(with hilariously bad draw distance in the open world) and SV is a barely playable pre-alpha for an open world game. Arceus is a rather nice little game, and hopefully Z will also give us a halfway decent title.

It's a feature in Gen 5 and 6 with 5 battles in a row going from easy to hard difficulty, and you get points based on how you battle.

(In ORAS the Battle Test is in the indoors part of Mauville City, next to that inversiony place where weaknesses become resistances.)

Gen 6, on the other hand...

I still think ORAS is OK: the Battle Test thing, all the water routes and underwater stuff, the secret bases, the soaring in the sky thing, and that battle replay thing-y.

X&Y has issues.

ToroidalBoat said:
I think X&Y is where "cracks" start to appear in "core games": no secret bases or something like pocket mons contests, that unfinished power plant area, and same-y towns where every house can look exactly the same inside (like in Shalour City).
