First Pokemon game I bought in 15 years

My expectations are extremely low, but let's see. Maybe I'll enjoy it.

Already hate how they lock something behind an Internet connection and until March 2026

I actually really like Pokemon, but I hesitate to play any of the new games since I think they're typically bereft of any meaningful gameplay. I took one look at Scarlet and Violet and realized I wanted nothing to do with it...

That being said, ZA interests me just because I really like Kalos—as I recall watching Lets Plays of X & Y in my youth—but I didn't actually bother to keep up with it. Does it look any good?

I just genuinely had to search up if this was real. What the hell? Why did they do this to Starmie...?

Yeah

It does look nice for Pokemon standards. No framerate issues on Switch 2 either.

Yeah most of the new Megas just look whack as fuck.

I just had my first battle and what the fuck were they thinking changing the battle mechanics like that Maybe it's just this specific fight but basically it's not turn-based anymore and instead you need to time your moves or whatever. Really awkward!

Mega Victreebel was bad enough. Looks like they're going to bastardize all the old pokemon.

The "rival" (if you can even call her that lol) and her friend are pretty cute, though.

So far I like the game but I could do without this lengthy introduction BS. And I hate the battle mechanics.

Yea, one of the things that really influenced by decision on whether I'd be ZA or not was the change in battle mechanics. I prefer the traditional turn based PP system and HATE the disorganized new system. There are other reasons I dislike modern Pokemon games like Dexcut, lack of voice acting, better preforming rpg and lack of any care being put into the games but removing arguably the mos
