If only Nintendo cared about making these games available again

Like if they want to milk money just remaster all the old gen games because the switch carried by every child in the country so they like to grow with the games from 1-7

I honestly don't understand the hate.

In this case, it’s not “hate” - it’s disappointment.

Coliseum and Gale of Darkness were amazing departures from “child of broken home catches pokemon to fight 8 gyms and elite 4.”

Also for it’s time, Coliseum and GoD looked amazing, whereas SV can’t even compare to BOTW, a game made for the Wii U.

They’re fine games, but score low bars for innovation, creativity, design, execution, and personality. Among others.

which part confuses you ill try to elaborate

Same. I've beaten violet and it isn't remotely as bad as reddit led me to believe.

Yeah framerate issues. Minor inconvenience. And some absolutely awful designs for new mons, but it's still a step up from gen 1's "thing and three thing".

As a pokeveteran, I took on a monotype (ghost) run for my first playthrough. Story was more interesting and the formula was changed without being an insane shift out of left field, and the variation in how and where pokemon spawned was a great upgrade from arceus.

This is, however, the first game in the series where I hated all of the starters.

I'm not arguing that XD and Colosseum weren't great, because they were. Loved them as a kid. However, they aren't mainline games either.

Yes, for their time, they looked fantastic. No mainline pokemon game has looked as great as it possibly could. Game Freak is known for that. Iirc, GF didn't make colo and XD.

I'll give you the framerate issues. They're not nearly as bad as everyone says in my experience (I've beaten violet), but still an inconvenience.

They did change the gameplay loop in SV, though. The whole gyms thing is a stepping stone across the main story. Having more major objectives than the standard 8 gym quest was a bit refreshing to me, and way less grindy. Difficulty was in a good spot for casual play too. Considering how fans were foaming at the mouth over other games (sun and moon), I can't blame them for returning to the tried and true formula and expanding rather than scrapping.

Fucking designs though. I know GF has been out of ideas since gen 1, but this is the first mainline game where I hated all of the starters. Their base forms were cute and all, but the evolved forms were painful to look at (despite some neat signature moves).

Just to clarify Gamefreak doesn't make the designs. Creatures inc. does. Regardless they aren't running out of ideas since Gen 1. Every generation has great designs. Every generation has poor designs. Even gen 1. And regardless, you should listen to Professor Hassel. You cannot define beauty. it's a personal thing. Arts 101. What you think is a poor design might be great for someone else.

Speaking of, I get that you don't like the starters. That's not so much bad design as personal preference. I had the same in Gen 6 and Gen 8. I like them a lot in SV. Even the humanoid ones.

Just remember kids, last week this woulda gotten 10k upvotes.

Now 10 million plus people are done playing their first playthroughs and pretty much everyone agrees... it's good, despite its performance issues.

I got Scarlet and the performance issues are really ruining my experience so far.

A good game poorly made. Some of the most popular and praised games are like that.

it's just poteman's. Relax.

Number one problem? Is not even the optimization, is the ugly new pokemon design...

I dont think scarlet ans violet are trying to be pokemon xd lol
