At least GameFreak isn't rereleasing the same game 20 times like Bethesda does with Skyrim.

I think we as a fandom need to accept the fact that GameFreak is incapable of handling the development of the Pokémon games considering the current hardware that they have to develop for (or at least incapable of handling the development by themselves). I'll see some people (not here but on...

Honestly I'd consider them all remakes but BDSP the one that's closest to a remaster since it is functionally just identical to the original DS games with improved graphics (I know there are some differences but I am aware one of the biggest complaints people have about BDSP is that it's...

The GBA games were from 20+ years ago in an era where having 2D games on handhelds was still considered the norm due to the inherent lack of power in a handheld console vs a home console (remember all of the mainline GBA Pokémon games had their original Japanese release dates prior to the...

i wasn't talking about how much money they made lol, i was rather talking about like copies sold (i know omori has sold at least 1 million copies and undertale has definitely sold several million copies, i think steam is estimated to be a few million at least so you know, still impressive) aslo...

while i won't deny that those games are successful for what they are, their sales still pale in comparison to what the average pokémon game sells so you really can't use them as proof that 'games with 8bit graphics can be super popular' like there's a reason why (for the most part) bigger...

Deadass that was the most common complaint about Hoenn for years and to this day I've no idea why people (still) mock IGN for using it in their ORAS review I can only assume it was a combination of people who were young and weren't aware that people very much did complain about the amount of...

The mainline Pokémon games should have never made the leap to full 3D. But I also understand why they did so, I just think that perhaps the games wouldn't be in the position they are in terms of technological performance nowadays had they not done so.

Yup, not like Nintendo, GameFreak, TPC, etc. will get any money if you go out and buy a used physical copy of the older Pokémon games anyway, so what's the real difference beyond 'having something physical'? (And you don't need to worry about the internal battery in these old-ass games having...

I actually liked when they gave Pikachu (and then later Eevee) their anime cries in the games and think it's kind of lame they reverted back to their original in-game cries without letting people choose if they want to use the game cries or the anime cries for them.

Bipedal/anthropomorphic Pokémon designs are good but some of y'all (not talking about this place specifically but the Pokémon fandom in general) are still stuck in your 'ew it's furbait so it's cringe' mindset that y'all can't admit that.

OK so I just need to say this: the performance of Scarlet and Violet is fine the vast majority of the time. Are there areas in the game that really kill the framerate and turn the game into lag city, yes, there are, I am not denying this. But the vast majority of the time I've been playing the...

Would be saying that the yandere memes about Nemona are entirely based upon a shallow reading of her character and annoy me count as a controversial opinion or just a regular one lol?

I mean there's 1000+ Pokémon, I think TCG fans can survive if we had a year where all the new cards were just pre-existing Pokémon and game characters.

Considering everything I know about game development, it's more likely they were tested and they were aware of all the bugs and glitches, but the execs don't give a shit.

To this day, I struggle to comprehend why TPC execs are so stuck on keeping that release schedule. Pokémon won't die if you give Game Freak a break.

I think the Pokémon games are just becoming too big to fail at this point. Sure, there was tons of (fully justified) criticisms of the performance issues and glitches in Scarlet and Violet from both the hardcore fanbase (people who would actively join and post on Pokémon forums like this one)...

Also people coming up with expectations for something in their head and then getting mad when they don't happen is like...the norm for fandoms at this point, unfortunately.

I guess my controversial opinion about Pokémon graphics is that, at best, they've been serviceable.

Also complaining about the water routes was always one of the biggest complaints people had about the Hoenn games? To this day, I genuinely don't understand why 'Too much water' became a meme other than people just trying to find a reason to dunk on IGN.
