Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

[Legalese]

That's one way of looking at it, but it kind of feeds this ongoing narrative about how modern gamers/gen z kids don't like to be challenged.

This will likely be a whole generation of gamers first game and they will never know adversity.

I think Game Freak and whoever they outsourced the games to think that their target audience (children) would just main the starter and then the rest of the party ends up underleveled by the time they reach the elite 4

Its true to an extent, but underestimates the long time returning audience for these games

Well I'd argue that they don't give a shyt about the returning audience either because if they did they wouldn't be hemming and hawwing with the national dex every year.

I feel they are creating a product that only really is aimed towards the kid whose never played pokemon ever before, and since that's the case I think they should atleast retain some level of challenge in the game. Luckily the games still aren't voice acted, at least they make these kids read.

Atp in time there should be options to turn off hints, help, tips and all that before the game progresses

First move I taught it was stealth rock. Bold nature stealth rock user before I even got into Eritka forest.

Stealth rock isn't really good for in game. Much better for competitive battles with all the constant switching.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Wasn’t planning on getting it, but since my lil bro copped and we gameshare our switches, guess I’ll be playing it after all

game freak believes that by adding too much difficulty the kids will stop playing and go to mobile games
when you think of them as mobile games their approach makes more sense

I suppose that makes sense.

But they are still wrong, the mobile market is entirely different

I’m upset they didn’t really update the battle mechanics. All of the attacks basically look how they did in Sword/Shield.

 

[Paper Boi]

Brehs is it a bug or do NONE of my pokemon like me?

Haven't gotten any hearts on the friendship checker yet, and my Budew is almost level 22

I got me a team of haters too


most these pokemon never even fainted once in they poke life
