I'm not even sure what qualifies as controversial anymore, but here I go:
- I don't think the games need to be given longer development time. For starters, I have no faith that this would actually enhance much of anything. For seconds, I'd rather have more frequent games than less frequent games that are slightly less medicore. I know quantity isn't necessarily better than quality but I don't really want a 'grand scale' pokemon game; if that makes sense. I feel like the things I want are things that could be implemented without taking up extra time (e.g. more frequent double battles) I use the word medicore kind of jokingly because I feel like every game has it's charm and while there are some things that were kind of 'eh' about SwSh at launch they were still fun to play and I think DLC was a really good thing for these games. Most importantly, I knew a new game wasn't too far off.
- I don't really care that mythicals get shafted now and handed out without story events. They're just advertisements for the movies at this point and I think that's totally fine.(I do kind of wish we could get like an entire game devoted to Jirachi, though.)
- Black and White have a very boring "story". It feels kind of generic and Ghetsis's goal/plan feels more unrealistic than every other villain. He brain washes a random kid into his cult society so that that kid will go off and become champion and free everyone's Pokemon thus making him (Ghetsis) the most powerful trainer and then what? Like, I just don't get it. Does the champion have the power to do something like that? Who does have the power? What is the power? What will he make people do afterwards? He wants to be King because he's a narcissist and believes it's his birthright or something but I don't know anything about the power structure in the Pokemon Universe. When people realize what's going on, what's to stop them from just catching new Pokemon? What are the rules?
- When it comes to Pokemon, I prefer stories that are a little more 'over the top' which is why I like B2W2 better because Team Plasma has a giant flying pirate ship that shoots freeze rays. I mean, that just makes more sense to me. Forget the over complicated 15 year long evil plan. "You will bow to me or I will freeze you all to death! Wahahaha!" I think pokemon games should have more of that nonsense and shouldn't be afraid to leave reality behind a little more. It's kind of boring when the only threat is a single somewhat powerful pokemon that isn't really all that powerful.
- I think that GameFreak needs to drop the 'rival' character(s) for at least one game.
-Cyrus is, somewhat unintentionally, the most nuanced villain in the series and Cynthia is kind of a bad person.
