I'm not a child but young enough to live with my parents, and I have family members who don't actually understand the stuff I like, so the last 2 or 3 Pokemon games I've gotten were because of them lol. They do this with anime I never even watch too. Whatever's popular, they'll buy it...
I still haven't been motivated to finish Sc/Vi, it's just that boring. Sw/Sh was also a tad mediocre, but I still enjoyed parts of it. At least LA was fun, albiet too short imo.
Rant About Pokemon
But yeah the only thing I like about the new Pokemon games are the characters, music, and designs. Difficulty is abysmal, some villans/teams are fucking dumb (Sw/Sh was ass), and the day-one DLC is killing me. And while I'm far from a graphics snob, when seeing how old Pokemon games like Wii Battle Revolution had such good animation, and new open world games like ToTK and Xenoblade look and perform well, it just makes me wish GameFreak didn't own the fucking series. And most of all is the lack of creativity.We haven't had a PMD game in almost 6 years, snd it's been a DECADE since the last brand new PMD. Rangers was shot dead out back. Conquest is a corpse. The battle colosseum/revolution series is a skeleton. The last Rumble game was 3DS and was a pay to play mess. Same thing with Shuffle. Fuck Trozei, Dash, Pokepark, all of them. Hell, even Duel was kinda fun and it was a mobile game. I severly doubt if we'll ever see any of these series again anytime soon. And it's a shame because these are some of my favorite games in the whole franchise, that I literally poured hundreds of hours into.
Having said that, anyone got any good Mystery Dungeon games to recommend? I tried one of the Chocobo ones and put it down after like 3 hours...
Last MD I played and liked a lot was Genso Wanderer
