I've actually seen many YouTube comments and such hating these games due to the technical issues while ignoring the great story.

I think Scarlet and Violet are great Pokémon games. The technical issues exist, yes, but they do not dampen my enjoyment of the games, and they're also being fixed. The characters are enjoyable, the story is good and handles some pretty dark themes for a Pokémon game, the new gimmick is shared...

Game Freak seems to always (or at least commonly) put a prototype of a feature that'll be expanded upon in the following generation. For example, in X and Y, there were a few cases where you could ride a certain Pokémon within a certain area, which could be seen as a prelude of ride Pokémon in...

I feel Wild Area was a test run for Paldea.

Unova had a lot of Trainers using repeats in Black and White, so the Gyms felt kinda stale when it comes to the selection of Pokémon they used, if you ask me.

Admittedly, yeah. Still, I really like X and Y's Pokémon variety and how it made Trainer battles more varied, instead of giving every single Trainer a Rattata or a Patrat. And speaking of variety, I like how Sword and Shield had variety in Trainer classes spread throughout the game.

Corsola?

Of course I understand, but there were still other unevolved Rock Pokémon by that point too.

For all the hate that X and Y get, I maintain my opinion that they are underappreciated. For example, the Pokémon variety is phenomenal, for both in the wild and in Trainer battles. Like, compare this list of Rustboro Gym's Gym Trainers from Emerald... ...to Grant's Gym Trainers in X and Y. In...

I know it may not be what you meant, but does Urshifu count?

I think the deviation of the player being the first Champion and taking on challengers was a big deal and letting loose of the franchise's usual formula.

Alola basically told the story of a region whose Pokémon League was in its infancy. And then, Galar went the exact opposite way and told us w story of a League that was more developed than the others. I actually like that.

Have you played the Ultra games? Some of the trials there are definitely challenging.

Mustard is probably one of the most underrated Champions of all time. Given that he was undefeated for 18 straight years, and only started losing after a tragic event naturally had a negative impact on him. No other Champion, not even the memetically revered Red, has gone undefeated for that...

Some types provide more coverage than others.

Many people want to use a Fire type. It's a useful type to have.

I do not mind how the upcoming Sinnoh remakes look. I'm just glad we're finally getting them, after so many years of people anticipating them.

I think Game Freak was trying to replicate Greninja's success in Cinderace. They're both starter Pokémon that are relatively frail and excel in speed and offense and have a Hidden Ability that changes their type depending on the move they use to allow them to always have STAB. And like Greninja...

It's possible they had more Kalos stuff planned for the Z version that never came to be.

To each their own.
