They matter because it allows everyone of all ages to play and complete the game, enjoying a experience exclusive to them. There are younger kids who will absolutely get curve stomped by the gyms and not want to do them for example. Having alternate fun ways to play the game will keep them invested and satisfied weather you agree or not, that’s just how it’s tbh.
...This is pokemon.
not ambitious. Just... there. Connected. Like i'm actually stepping into the shoes of a character and going on their journey, even if it's a shallow one.
so allowing infants who probably shouldn't even be playing games till they're older to see the ending is more important then making a quality piece of work. I see.
The best Pokemon stories aren't even really great stories. They just have good characters and some interesting ideas, by Pokemon standards.
The games are rated E for Everyone by the ESRB
Can't wait for the "is Fuecoco a facist" debates.
I’m fairly certain they didn’t mean literal infants when they said younger kids

What do you have against stories like how Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is doing theirs? I mean, as others said with the reasons they used, it should be good to have a choice on what adventure one would wish to do instead of just one, collected story that may combine all three stories, if you know what I mean.
I hope this song makes the cut for the next Smash bros.
The new waifumon breathes through its skin and your female rival is named Fragile
I'm so glad Ian Flynn is writing Scar/Vio.
except they're not connected. there are no routes. it's all just one big open space and you can do them in any order. You can do the gyms in any order. You can do the titans in any order. You can raid the bases in any order. So there are no beats. There is no narrative progression, there can't be. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get away with spreading it all out and letting you choose. They would have to introduce a degree of linearity, "sorry, come back when you have this other badge" for the story to work. So looking at this with any amount of logic means that this is going to be one of the shallowest and most nonexistent stories in the entire series! Because by definition, nothing can happen at any gym, and base, any cave, that isn't expressly and explicitly related to that location and nothing else, because you might not have done the right stuff yet for it to mean anything.
And? With how easy Pokemon games are, if they are too hard for you then your brain has clearly not developed to the point where you should be allowed to play video games yet.
I think I made my case earlier. It's going to result in one of the shallowest experiences imaginable with nothing meaning anything because you can do any part of the story in any order. So there is no narrative progression. No actual story, even a shallow one.

I love it when people don't actually listen to what i'm saying and just decide their own things about me and my opinions.
Oh my lard, I don't think I would count choosing which story you wish to do counts as shallow, and it certainly does not count as "no actual story". I think you were expecting way too much or something like that.
Exactly! I forgot to say that in my post before, but I think the story, or stories could be better understood if one actually plays the game that has them, right?View attachment 360480
That's a lot of assumptions, bud.
I'm not saying you gotta be hype for it, but how about we wait for the game to come out before deciding if the story sucks or not?
It's only two more months
No, I must scream now so that Game Freak sees what I have to say and scrap everything to make it appeal exclusively to me.View attachment 360480

She looks like the same kind of character that Lusamine and Rose are.
The purple guys won't try to complete the dexes.You don’t understand the power you hold.
Everyone’s going with Violet. Meaning the Scarlet exclusives will be generally rarer.
And when the purple guys start trying to complete their dexes, who are they gonna come to?

I can't just assume nothing. You're either assuming it's bad game design or asuming it's weird bad writing, I guess. I don't know how you can expect important story beats to happen at these locations when you do them in any order. Unless you expect the game to somehow track all the different possible paths a player might take and make the switch smoke.View attachment 360480

And while I haven't read the details, the leaks make it sound like there's some significant plot stuff going on. So y'know.

Breath of the Wild manages just fine
Yeah, except I am not sure that is a game she likes. Just saying.Breath of the Wild manages just fine
Ok, so I'll respond seriously:
The majority of open world games do tbh.Breath of the Wild manages just fine
The point is that open world games (and in this instance, BotW), in spite of the BS Snake's speaking, actually can mange to tell a cohesive story even though you can spend hours ****ing around between story beats.
Yeah, I know. I didn't discard any of that. I guess I meant that she did not like Breath of the Wild even with its good thing like its story. Stories like Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet allow for more options, and can make things more fun.
And even then people like to pretend those two game didn't happen because they are on Gamecube.
Nah, Sun and Moon was very narrative focused.
Gitta be honest, I was not thinking about the Gamecube games
