I'll probably get roasted for this but.. Pokemon. It just seems like endless copy/paste and might be one of the laziest game franchises I've ever seen. I've really tried to get into them. I was there when the Pokemon cartoon started, I saw it rise to the phenomenon it is today, but damn if it isn't the most boring grindfest ever.
it doesnt just feel like copy paste, thats quite literally what they are doing, there is plenty of evidence online to show that they do but hey, if you can make whatever low effort thing you want and people still buy it why bother trying?
There's no problem with copy/paste, games do that all the time (look at portal, most of that game is reused half life 2 assets). I think the problem is that they're just not doing anything interesting with the games. If the games were good it shouldn't matter if the Pikachu model is reused or made from scratch.
Sure but they also straight up lied about making fancy new assets for switch while they just literally copied and pasted from 3ds That lie, I find not okay
I do agree that it’s the same thing recycled over and over.
If anyone does want to play them again, I highly recommend emulating them and accelerating the emulation to 2.5 or 3x speed. Makes it much more tolerable.
That's a very common complaint for the last, hell I don't even know, 20 games or whatever.
I wanted to say the same; additionally, the games are sooo slow, and everything takes ages compared to most other games.
Same here, I've tried to get into pokemon so many times but I just don't get it. The games just look so lazily made too
Every game after Black and White is copy paste garbage, but everything before that is pretty damn good.
The pokemon fan games have been way more inventive than the mainline games for a while now. I just recently have been getting into pokemon infinite fusion and it's FANTASTIC
I so badly want to play infinite fusion but I cant seem to get it to work, it crashes everywhere I've tried to play :(
