    This game bites a lot of other games, but it’s fun to play which is more than I can say for any Nintendo Pokemon game in recent memory.

      Pokémon hasn’t pushed the envelope at all. I think this game really shows what you can do with battle pets in an open world and Nintendo should take notes. Not necessarily breaking their format or making a survival crafter, but there’s a lot of potential they ignore.

        Pokémon hasn’t tried anything new in decades because they don’t need to, Nintendo rakes in money from fans buying the same shit every year regardless so why out extra cost in to the product

    Nintendo and Game Freak execs have wet dreams about developing a Pokemon game this interesting.

    They haven’t iterated on their formula since the first game. The 3D version could have been a 2D re-skin.

      Gamefreak has absolutely 0 drive or desire to make an actual improved pokemon game, they have been carried by the IP for the past 20 years. Now if they get some competition… Maybe they will start dreaming

        My son just said the same thing. Game Freak are actually going to have to do some work!
