Pokemon is the modern equivalent to 80s cartoons. Shallow, half assed products that solely exist to sell toys.

Pokemon seems to be an outlier in this regard, since a lot of fans will just say "yeah" when you say this to their faces. Say this to Digimon fans, and they'll go on about how they're the only reason the franchise still exists like it's something to be proud of.

Seems like we're relapsing back into the griefing thread. Glaring technical issues aside, how would some of you rate your experience on the game? I haven't gotten it yet and I want to see if it's worth the purchase.

I made it about 45 minutes then decided my work would be more entertaining. But I acknowledge the tutorial shit is always a slog. I'm about to give it another go.

I had fun with the 5 hours I put in so far. It hasn't been the greatest experience nor the worst but maybe it's because I just set my expectations with a game like Pokemon lower. Pokemon isn't a thing I play to immerse myself in some cinematic world where all my disbeliefs are suspended. I was more upset when Cyberpunk 2077 released in the state it did as compared to Scarlet/Violet and I wasn't even expecting the be all, end all game with Cyberpunk. Just solid gameplay with a decent enough story. I didn't even buy the game and felt buyer's remorse on behalf of the person that gifted it to me.
There's fun to be had with the new Pokemon games but I wouldn't blame anyone if they wanted to wait on maybe a Black Friday deal or maybe score a slightly lower priced used copy. It's good with some glaring flaws at best and mediocre at worst.
Also, Bread Dog does not work how I hoped it would and that disappoints me. I should have expected that it gets a defense boost when it's hit by a fire attack but the initial wording pokemondb posted and Bread Dog's very low offensive stats had me holding out some hope. No baton passing shenanigans for me then. I'll figure out another fun team to run I'm sure. Oh boy, Anger Shell Weakness Policy Klawf looks interesting. And look at all these electric terrain paradox Pokemon!...
Yeah, once you get out of the tutorial, there's suddenly a shit ton to do and see. I wasted a lot of my early time hanging out in the first zone outside of the school. If I had any advice, rip the bandaid off and get to the school treasure hunt asap.

I haven't gotten to play yet but it was pretty easy to "acquire" and install on a modded Switch lol

14 hours in and i'm enjoying it, but ah i wouldn't be if i wasn't playing it on ryujinx, i'll tell you that much. 40-60 FPS beats whatever the hell an unclocked/overclocked switch can do.

I put this on my Xmas wishlist so hopefully by the time I play it they'll have patched out some of the performance issues. I can deal with crusty graphics, my main console used to be a Wii, but frame drops bug the hell out of me.

Yeah from what I've seen a lot of the characters are fuckin wack. Especially the Champion that bitch is hideous

Honestly, it's on par with Sun and Moon and how shit that was. I like the world but the technical issues destroy it. The first pokemon I catch and its screen tears and the camera fixes to the floor. Arceus had a ton of issues too but because this is really open world and it happens so frequently is really not acceptable.
Nemura or Neguma, battle bitch, is more fucking irritating than Hop and he is a character I would personally want to chain his creator up. She honestly mentions battling EVERY FUCKING OTHER SENTENCE. Christ Game Freak people have told you over and over to improve the opening experience but this is probably the worst starting and the Sun and Moon.
The character Design in this game is by far the worst, Sword and Shield was pretty bad but this one is horrible. Whoever designed the Champion should just speed up and go ghost. I had to switch it off I got to the bit where you can actually free roam but I got constant screen chugging, so I switched it off. I am bummed because God of War was fucking horrendous and I and the spouse were gonna play this together but that opening experience is like being a coma patient.

I put Scarlet on my Christmas wish list, so it’ll be a while before I get to play it. Hopefully, all of the really bad glitches will be fixed by then.
I must say, though, all of the negative things I’ve seen on Twitter about this game have me feeling somewhat nervous. Should I even bother getting it at all?

The Ice guy is like fine even if he is a tad on the "generic femboy" side of shit, they are inoffensive compared to the sports ball thing gen 8 had going on. wont remember most of them
I really like open world shit and it feels fresh as fuck, techincal shit aside I kinda like this as a building block foward along with arceus for mainline pokemon, I do hope they slow down the relases because I think this formula has a ton more potental if they expanded on it and gave it more polish. I welcome the death of the hallway simulator era of Pokémon with open arms, even giving up customization ngl.

Pokemon just desperately needs to be ripped away from Gamefreak regardless of how much they kick and scream. Other devs have always done better than them, hence why they have gone out of their way to ensure something like that GameCube game never gets made again.

Game Freak doesn’t know what “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” means, because no one asked for the camera angles to be zoomed out in battle.

Game Freak/Nintendo must legit believe that if the characters are ugly, no one will make porn art of them.
Also globohomo demands everything must be ugly.

And even those standards haven't stopped Rule 34 from existing, at all. TLOU2's Abby, despite being a horrible character, has Rule 34 of her, so there is always going to be someone that decides to make wank material out of a character, no matter the popularity.
