Pokemon's wireframe city looks like shit. What are they even on? Any internet 3d animator could have made that and people would probably say it looks boring and uninspired. I'm curious to see what the cultist level fans have to say about it. Personally I still don't think they ever have or will outdo gold and silver. None of the following games could hold me for more than a couple of gyms.

Metroid I didn't watch the video because I haven't finished 3 and was planning to run through all of them but I hope it doesn't disappoint.

The Pokemon Company has been absolutely awful lately. I really wish Nintendo would light a fire under TPC's ass, because the last few generations of mainline games have been uninspired, empty games riddled with performance issues that are inexcusable for a $60+ game from a long-standing brand. It's sad to see the garbage that today's fans are expected to enjoy.

The Pokemon Company doesn’t make games. Gamefreak does and they have been awful for a long long time.

I don't know about uninspired, Scarlet/Violet is a great game at its core. It's just a shame that it was so obviously rushed and the resulting technical imperfections overshadow the gameplay for many.

Yeah, that's been my issue with the series since Sun & Moon, though I'm sure a lot of people probably felt it a bit earlier than I did. It feels like the art and direction teams are still performing very strongly, but the actual development side of things is where everything falls apart. There's no reason why a Switch can run Doom at 30 FPS but it can't play a Pokemon game above 10.

Being able to play co-op and the single player storyline at the same time is so cool. It's something I always wanted in the series; the ability to enjoy everything with friends without losing any of the single player features. I played Scarlet/Violet with my girlfriend at launch and it was a very fun way to enjoy the game with her whilst also being able to play at my own pace. But unfortunately the visuals really annoyed her and she lost interest. It's just not that fun exploring a world as barren and ugly as the one in Scarlet/Violet.

That's a bummer, and I'm totally with your girlfriend on that one. It hurts, because we grew up with this series and want so much for it to be good.
