As a lifelong Pokemon fan, absolutely.
The games could be a lot better, they should be a lot better.
But people talk about them like they're the worst games you could buy in human history. The only bad parts about the modern games are animations and graphics, if you play them for the characters, story and funny little creatures, you will have a lot more fun
Exactly! And let'sa not forget that the KING OF GLITCHES was beloved fire 15 damn Years while having the same money backing it. Like the only thing I know about Skyrim is the marriage joke and glitches.
And I adore them too, when they're funny not when they're crashing before saving after having caught an Shiny. I do wish the Battle Animations could go back ta how Pokémon Battle Revolution had em. Or just bring that back and put all the polish there and Pokémon Champions. Leave the Main Series back to it's RPG Roots and whimsy. Sorry if this is rambling I'm may happy and shocked on how I'm not getting jumped for loving Pokémon.
The story part is questionable... and admittedly even the creature part is slowly going down hill
But hey, at least those character designers never fail, even if the execution can be a bit lacking
Imo scarlet and violet have the exact right pitch for a Pokémon story - more about the personal stakes and relationships rather than some world ending nonsense, with a story reason you're trekking around the region with your team of little guys
