The principal is what matters. I'd argue lets go series was a bigger cash grab than battlefront 2 tbh
Hoooo boy. We goin' there, huh?

Well, seeing as how LG offered a full, one time purchase experience that was decently polished, fun, and overall a good product, I will have to respectfully disagree with you completely on that one.

GF also didn't attempt to literally take advantage of their player base and then put them down when called out. That speaks volumes about the comparisons you're trying to make here.

I'll admit, I wasn't too thoroughly impressed with Sword and Shield's visual, but it's not a game crippling deal to me. Then again, I'm not huge one the main Pokemon games in general, only the Mons they bring with them.

Anytime someone mentions "laziness" in regards to game development is a telltale sign they're not worth talking to.

I can tell GameFreak puts in a ton of effort on these games.

I mean, Sword and Shield look like they would match with the high graphical games on the PS4 Pro, Xbox One X or the PC.

I think we need to look at the fact that Pokemon is officially the second best selling video game property of all time, then look at the past 4 games (SM, USUM, Let's Go, and now SwSh), and realize that, wow, these games haven't changed that much.

Yes, the games are good and they'll sell well and they absolutely aren't doing the bare minimum for the games like other companies do for yearly franchises but this is also one of the most ludicrous entertainment properties in the world... and they've looked almost unchanged for 4 iterations in a row besides a bit of upscaling.

Do I blame Game Freak for this? No, absolutely not. They do damn good work. I blame The Pokemon Company. They need to put some more budget behind these games. Hell, hire another company to help Game Freak out and come out with some fresh ideas. Anything really to help move the series forward. They're squandering potential.

Could you imagine what an actual Breath of the Wild budget Pokemon game with an Open-world and MMO style trading and battling could be like? The potential is limitless with this franchise but they just keep repeating the same trends.

I'll still buy the game, I'll still love it, but damn guys. I want them to push the envelope. Just once. See how it turns out. If it don't work, hey, no harm then. I was wrong. Go back to the way the games are now. I just want to see them innovate.

They really wouldn't.
Let's not be hyperbolic again.

Ima stop you right there lol it didn't even have wild pokemon battling.

Battlefront 2 had all dlc free just an insane grind. The core gamemodes were great, as were the maps. They just dropped the ball on the heroes being too hard to grind out.

Overall the game is polished and isn't creatively bankrupt unlike the lets go series.

Right now battlefront 2 is a great game the lets go series remains a cashgrab

Of course we cannot reach the heights of the original starters which were genius but thats an impossible job. The new starters are safe but easy on the eyes, cant ask for too much more
I never liked Charmander/Charizard. Literally a fire dragon with a flame on its tail which I found generic, so no I don't agree that the OGs were masterful either.

meh EA has dumb ways of doing DLC.


I wanna play Spore again, but I also want the separate DLC creature parts, dang it. Last time I played it, I was in middle school, and I lost my account stuffs.

Also, from what I remember, they didn't even let you put it on another computer/IP, even if you were logged in. Might've just been me and my fam being confused, but we could not find the downloads. Might've just been that you had to buy their launcher again or something, idk.

But you said the original starter (s) were genius. The plural implies all of them, not just the one I picked.
Yes they are all genius as they had a starter that appealed to everyone.

I have NEVER met anyone who hated all 3. Same cannot be said for future generations

Even if I hated and ranted and came up with a cult of people to hate the game and boycott the game with me it would barely be a blip on the radar. People hate and don't buy Call of Duty but ****, look at them still releasing the same game every year.

We shouldn't have to boycott a game for companies to see that we want something new. Especially the Pokemon fanbase who have been begging for a big budget console title for, what, two decades now?

The problem with making Pokémon Open-World is that any plot they could have would be incredibly difficult to implement in a satisfying way.

An Open World Pokémon game can absolutely be done; see the Pokémon Crystal Clear ROM Hack for an example; however...

Programming and balancing a Pokémon World to be able to accommodate any possible route through the game would be an absolute nightmare (even Crystal Clear has issues with this, Trainers scale with your badge number but Wild Pokémon don't).

I want like, Monolith Soft to work with Game Freak. Imagine a Pokemon game with environments and creatures running about in the wild like Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The bad part is that it'd pull Monolith Soft away from their own projects, but I guess it could only be the environment specialists.

You'd think the cute and creepy parts wouldn't be 20 dollars. Thankfully there's some pretty good mods out there.

Pretty much this. They're going to reuse assets as much as they can. Smash Ultimate did the same. Though my hope was like smash ultimate they'd add a lot more to the assets they already have. We'll see. Also, it's not like they didn't reuse a lot of assists in all of the generations beforehand.

But yeah, they have no real reason to change things up drastically until what they already have becomes outdated.

Are you a troll?
You're the one who said Sword and shields graphics matched with the best the xbox one x and ps4 pro had to offer.

The fact is i got more content out of bf2 getting it free with ea access and all the dlc included and grind fixed than i did out of lets go pikachu which was gen 1 without the soul and heart.
