When I have no direction I just don’t do anything. I move on to the place that gives me more direction. “Reach the end of this path” is more fun to me then “there’s pokey-mans in them that hills! Have fun!”. Like, I need a goal.
Disagree, I hate forced linearity. If it's part of a story(AKA BOTW) I'll do it but I love to explore every nook and cranny of a game, even if I have to break the game to do so.
Well. Good for you. But that’s not what I like.
Imagine the DP Remakes are Let's Go ones lmao
I'd cry.
Exactly why I'm optimistic for a near 100% open world Pokemon game, considering the Wild Area being the highlight of the game.

btw.
into the trash the game and company go
At least that's a sign were probably close.
I definitely hope you're right. Either that's the case or Nintendo might not have anything major releasing until March, which would be bizarre.
Oh no. That wasn't a stab at the Wild Area from me. It was more of a criticism toward the designs of open world type games or areas and how the argument of it being "too open" for me is entirely too broad and doesn't do a good job of explaining the faults of an open area or game.
Oh boy, Jojo memes too? Why does every encounter with you make me like you more?
It might be wishful thinking on my part (basing theories around patterns rarely ends well), but I hope so too. It feels weird that most of the Switch games that I'm looking forward to and that I know are coming out in 2020 are either licensed games or really old ports. No More Heroes 3 and Persona 5 Strikers are the exceptions, but games like Bayonetta 3, Breath of the Wild 2, and the Panzer Dragoon remake don't even have release years, let alone seasons, months, or dates.
If that happens, Shield will quickly go from my first Pokémon game to my last Pokémon game. Open Worlds are, in my opinion, super boring and not well constructed. How can there be anything interesting or challenging because the player can access it at any point. How can there be a strong narrative when the player can go literally anywhere at any time?
Good for you I guess. But not for me. I’m not saying I don’t want it to be there for the people who like it. But I still need the linear towns and routes. Otherwise I don’t feel engaged. I get lost, then I get board, then I sell the game back. The only times I’ve ever enjoyed an open world game are the Batman Arkham games. But I’m those, the story takes you from area to area in the city in a pretty linear order, so you don’t have to do too much mindless backtracking. And there was always an objective. There’s never a moment when the story just stops to force you to do sidequests. Well, Arkham Knight had that, but not any of the others.
An Animal Crossing Direct would be better than a Pokemon Direct.
I mean they do tell you to head to Motostoke and Hammerlocke around the necessary points in the story so it is already pretty railroaded, and that being said, the area itself does scale with difficulty and have certain roadblocks that are only passable later in the game so it's a pretty well done open area.
Hoping that Game Freak reveals Pokémon Ranger Switch at the Direct.
Vibin'
Pretty excited today since Joker is now out on disc. Leaving in 10 minutes to the mall to grab it.
I never went back to the thing except for the few times it forces you too and a few times to grind raid battles for Rare Candies.
So? Charizard vs Dragonite battles are always awesome.
