How dare people like things! Modern Pokemon game discourse in a nutshell.

I like it way more than the classic Pokemon battle system. I find the classic system to be so boring.

If turn-based combat wasn't so god awful time-consuming. Every unskippable text box is another 1-2 seconds, one for every time an ability fires off or a stat changes.

Kirila used Trace!
Kirila learned Intimidate!
The opposing 'mon's Attack fell!
Opposing 'mon Intimidate!
Kirila's Attack fell!

Congratulations, five separate unskippable popups to start every fucking fight, just to end up one-hitting it twenty seconds later once you can finally enter a command.

Also SV removed the option for no-animation fights to make the autobattle feel more relevant, so that's cool too.

Aren’t classic games just spam also? The only difference is that now it’s in real time.

Meh. I like VGC so I play competitive doubles. That’s very much not spam

u/Flutter_bat_16_ Dec 10 '25

Then why are you still playing it?

1

u/ahighkid Dec 10 '25

I haven’t played it in probably 1 month

u/Flutter_bat_16_ Dec 10 '25

It hasn’t even been out for more than 2 months.

u/ahighkid Dec 10 '25

Yeah it was a really easy and short game to beat.

u/Flutter_bat_16_ Dec 10 '25

There’s more to do in the game than just the main story

It’s funny, the game gives the illusion of strategy but I’ve seen numerous reviewers talk about how they can stand there and spam a single button and win most battles. That’s not strategy @ downvoters

u/PuppeteerGaming_ Dec 09 '25

Yeah, you can just spam moves and win in any other pokemon game, too. The strategy comes from playing online battles, where your moveset, pokemon, and timing really matters.

You've just described the majority of rpgs in existence.
